High-Pressure Shock Compression of Solids VI : Old Paradigms and New Challenges /

Show other versions (1)

Both experimental and theoretical investigations make it clear that mesoscale materials, that is, materials at scales intermediate between atomic and bulk matter, do not always behave in ways predicted by conventional theories of shock compression. At these scales, shock waves interact with local ma...
