SynopsisMy 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., This book is an introduction to the thermomechanical theory required to conduct research and pursue application of shock physics in solid materials. It is the first textbook devoted entirely to shock physics of solid materials. Emphasis is on a regime where solids can be described as elastoplastic materials. The main text is complemented with numerous exercises and solutions. The book itself falls naturally into four parts, with a first part exposing the principles of both continuum mechanics and plane longitudinal shocks. The following four chapters treat various aspects of materials response. The third part of the book deals with linear and nonlinear wave propagation in such media and the fourth part introduces a number of advanced topics, such as porous solids, spall fracture and the detonation phenomenon. This book provides a reference and tutorial for an interdisciplinary field with applications ranging from astrophysics and geophysics to materials science, aeronautics, and semiconductors.
