Abstract
Porous materials consist of a solid constituent intermingled with voids. Examples include natural materials such as soils, and a variety of manufactured materials such as lightly compacted powders and powder mixtures. They are of interest because the shock transition provides experimenters access to states of high pressure and very high temperature, because the shock compression process offers a means of producing new and unusual materials, and because they are unusually effective as shock attenuators.
