Shock Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena in Materials

These proceedings of EXPLOMET 90, the International Conference on the Materials Effects of Shock-Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena, held August 1990, in La Jolla, California, represent a global and up-to-date appraisal of this field. Contributions (more than 100) deal with high-strain-rate deforma SECTION I: HIGH-STRAIN-RATE DEFORMATION. SECTION II: SHOCK AND COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS. SECTION Ill: DYNAMIC CONSOLIDATION. SECTION IV: SHAPED CHARGE PHENOMENA. SECTION V: SHEAR LOCALIZATION. SECTION VI: DYNAMIC FRACTURE. SECTION VII: SHOCK PHENOMENA AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY. SECTION VIII: SHOCK WAVES AND SHOCK LOADING. SECTION IX: SHOCK AND DYNAMIC PHENOMENA IN CERAMICS
