Granular forms of common materials such as metals and ceramics,
sands and soils, porous energetic materials (explosives, reactive
mixtures), and foams exhibit interesting behaviors due to their
heterogeneity and critical length scale, typically commensurate
with the grain or pore size. Under extreme conditions of impact,
granular and porous materials display highly localized phenomena
such as fracture, inelastic deformation, and the closure of voids,
which in turn strongly influence the bulk response. Due to the
complex nature of these interactions and the short time scales
involved, computational methods have proven to be powerful tools to
investigate these phenomena. Thus, the coupled use of experiment,
theory, and simulation is critical to advancing our understanding
of shock processes in initially porous and granular materials. This
is a comprehensive volume on granular and porous materials for
researchers working in the area of shock and impact physics. The
book is divided into three sections, where the first presents the
fundamentals of shock physics as it pertains to the equation of
state, compaction, and strength properties of porous materials.
Building on these fundamentals, the next section examines several
applications where dynamic processes involving initially porous
materials are prevalent, focusing on the areas of penetration,
planetary impact, and reactive munitions. The final section
provides a look at emerging areas in the field, where the expansion
of experimental and computational capabilities are opening the door
for new opportunities in the areas of advanced light sources,
molecular dynamics modeling, and additively manufactured porous
structures. By intermixing experiment, theory, and simulation
throughout, this book serves as an excellent, up-to-date desk
reference for those in the field of shock compression science of
porous and granular materials.
