Multiscale Mechanics of Shock Wave Processes

This book presents theoretical and experimental investigations of mechanical behavior of solids under shock loading and highlights a multi—scale exchange process of energy and momentum between meso and macroscopic hierarchy. It also widely covers experimental approaches for the multi—scale response of solids to impacts including uniaxial strain conditions and high fivelocity penetration processes.

The content comprises two parts. The first part overviews modeling and theory of dynamically ...
