Modern research involves both experimental and computational investigations into ultrafast material phenomena and has diverse applications including analysing the effect of meteorite impacts on planets, spacecraft and satellites; and understanding the high-pressure conditions that occur at the core of planets. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003ePhysics of Shock and Impact \u003c\/em\u003edeals with the shock physics of solids with emphasis on impact applications that are brought about by any of a variety of intense energy stimulations and a number of topics in shock physics are addressed in some depth. Comprising two volumes, this work covers physical, material, mechanical and thermodynamic fundamentals of shock physics where appropriate. Also addressed are current research topics in shock physics, a number of which have yet to achieve a mature status of understanding. The various chapters also include a range of analytic solutions that address topics in the many applications involving shock physics. The solutions are tutorial in nature but are, in many cases, useful complements to comparable computational solutions in that underlying shock physics is usually more clearly revealed. In a number of cases unique shockwave and impact data are used to supplement the presented topic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Volume 2, \u003cem\u003eMaterials and shock response\u003c\/em\u003e, addresses equation of state in the shockwave and the response to shock of various material classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Grady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750312580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750312585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IOP Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Dennis Grady","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44321605550335,"sku":"9780750312585","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f655229-34ff-4951-817c-62a90cf4b459.jpg?v=1696331756","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/physics-of-shock-and-impact-dennis-grady-9780750312585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
