Effects of explosions on materials : modification and synthesis under high-pressure shock compression /

Show other versions (1)

The use of explosives to generate ultrahigh pressures and thereby modify the structure and properties of condensed matter began in the 1950s and has since then become an important area of science. This book discusses the physical principles and experimental techniques of shock compression as applied...
