Shock physics is the study of how high-intensity, highly transient events affect materials.
There are essentially two areas where this applies. The rst area is shocks in nonreacting
materials. This eld of study is important because it allows one to determine whether
materials will survive a dynamic event or not. It tells us information about the material
that would not be predicted by static equilibrium solid mechanics. The second area is that
of reacting material behavior. This area is important because it allows us to see whether
a shock is sufcient to begin and foster a chemical reaction such as a detonation. Both of ...
