The field of shock compression science has a long and rich history
involving contributions of mathematicians, physicists and engineers
over approximately two hundred years. The middle of the nineteenth
century was an especially ac tive period with the contributions of
Riemann, Rankine and Hugoniot, among others. The middle of the
twentieth century saw another increase in activity re lated to
shock compression of condensed matter as a result of military
applica tions. It was also recognized that shock compression
provided a means of sub jecting solids and liquids to extreme
states of temperature and pressure difficult to achieve by static
means. It has thus become an academic study in its own right. The
principal modem contributions to this science were summarized in
the landmark paper by Rice, McQueen and Walsh [Solid State Physics,
Vol. 6, pp. 1-63, 1958]. As this field has continued to mature,
interest has increased in tracing the early papers that have served
as the foundations of the field. Cheret [Shock Compression of
Condensed Matter - 1989, Elsevier Sci. Pub. B. V. , pp 11-19, 1990)
has contributed to this literature with his review of the life of
Hugoniot on the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of
Hugoniot's classic paper on the propagation of discontinuous waves
in gases. This contribution prompted additional historical
investigation involving the precursors to Hugoniot.
