This book presents a set of basic understandings of the behavior
and response of solids to propagating shock waves. The propagation
of shock waves in a solid body is accompanied by large
compressions, decompression, and shear. Thus, the shear strength of
solids and any inelastic response due to shock wave propagation is
of the utmost importance. Furthermore, shock compres sion of solids
is always accompanied by heating, and the rise of local tempera
ture which may be due to both compression and dissipation. For many
solids, under a certain range of impact pressures, a two-wave
structure arises such that the first wave, called the elastic
prescursor, travels with the speed of sound; and the second wave,
called a plastic shock wave, travels at a slower speed. Shock-wave
loading of solids is normally accomplished by either projectile
impact, such as produced by guns or by explosives. The shock
heating and compression of solids covers a wide range of
temperatures and densities. For example, the temperature may be as
high as a few electron volts (1 eV = 11,500 K) for very strong
shocks and the densification may be as high as four times the
normal density.
