This book is an introduction to the thermomechanical theory required to conduct research and pursue application of shock physics in solid materials. Emphasis is on a regime where solids can be described as elastoplastic materials, relatively simple equations-of-state exist and the simple illustrative problems are amenable to treatment without the recourse to advanced numerical anaylsis.Accordingly the main text is complemented with numerous exercices and solutions. The theoretical framework is set by the established continuum-mechanical principles and equations, which are summarized in a convenient form for furtherreference in the text. Only textbook devoted entirely to Shock Physics of solid materials Provides a reference and tutorial a interdisicplinary field with applications ranging from astrophysics and geophysics to materials science, aeronautics, and semiconductors INDICE: Introduction.- Mechanical Principles.- Plane Longitudinal Shocks.-Material Response I: Principles.- Material Response II: Inviscid CompressibleFluids.- Material Response III: Elastic Solids.- Material Response IV: Elastic-Plastic and Elastic-Viscoplastic Solids.- Weak Elastic Waves.- Finite Amplitude Elastic Waves.- Elastic-Plastic and Elastic-Viscoplastic Waves.- Porous Solids.- Spall Fracture.- Steady Detonation Waves.- Appendix: Solutions to the Exercises.- References.- Index.
