My intent in writing this book is to present an introduction to the
thermo- chanical theory required to conduct research and pursue
applications of shock physics in solid materials. Emphasis is on
the range of moderate compression that can be produced by
high-velocity impact or detonation of chemical exp- sives and in
which elastoplastic responses are observed and simple equations of
state are applicable. In the interest of simplicity, the
presentation is restricted to plane waves producing uniaxial
deformation. Although applications often - volve complex
multidimensional deformation fields it is necessary to begin with
the simpler case. This is also the most important case because it
is the usual setting of experimental research. The presentation is
also restricted to theories of material response that are simple
enough to permit illustrative problems to be solved with minimal
recourse to numerical analysis. The discussions are set in the
context of established continuum-mechanical principles. I have
endeavored to define the quantities encountered with some care and
to provide equations in several convenient forms and in a way that
lends itself to easy reference. Thermodynamic analysis plays an
important role in continuum mechanics, and I have included a
presentation of aspects of this subject that are particularly
relevant to shock physics. The notation adopted is that
conventional in expositions of modern continuum mechanics, insofar
as possible, and variables are explained as they are encountered.
Those experienced in shock physics may find some of the notation
unconventional.
