Explosion, shock wave and hypervelocity phenomena in materials : proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Explosion, Shock Wave and Hypervelocity Phenomena (ESHP Symposium), 15-17 March 2004, Kumamoto, Japan

Recent years have witnessed an astonishing growth in research on materials science. Exotic new materials, innovative processing techniques and challenging computational methods make the pursuit of research in this field increasingly interesting and rewarding. Considering as it does, the significance of shock-wave phenomena in the rapidly changing materials science scene, this collection of papers will undoubtedly foster further advanced research into the allied research areas of explosive, shock-wave and hypervelocity phenomena in materials. The collection comprises 76 papers, and the topics covered by the symposium include various high-velocity phenomena in materials; such as dynamic deformation and fracture, dynamic processing of materials, and detonation and shock waves.
