Shock Compression of Condensed Matter--1995: Proceedings of the Conference of the American Physical Society Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter Held at Seattle, Washington, August 13-18, 1995, Part 1S. C. Schmidt, William C. Tao Annotation A two-volume set containing papers from the August 1995 conference, describing both the micro- and macroscopic mechanical, chemical, electromagnetic, and optical response of condensed phase materials to shock stimuli, and discussing theoretical, computational, and experimental results. Includes sections on equations of state, phase transitions, material properties and synthesis, and optical, electrical, and laser studies, with emphasis on explosive behavior and initiation. Other highlights include explosive safety and shock waves for industrial and medical applications, measurement techniques, and gauge development. Includes a plenary lecture on applications of shock compression science to Earth and planetary physics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. |
