Shock Wave Mechanics

  • Chapter
Metallurgical Effects at High Strain Rates

Abstract

Shock stresses in solids typically range from tens of kilobars to megabars. Such stress levels are produced in a solid for durations of the order of several microseconds when an explosive is detonated in contact with it, when a projectile traveling at high velocity impacts on it, or when energy is deposited in it at very high power levels. Most solids deform irreversibly or fracture at stresses typically of the order of a few kilobars; thus, the generation and propagation of shock waves are intrinsically violent and destructive processes, and this accounts for their traditional importance in military and mining technology.
