While much is known about the effects of shock compression on monolithic materials, the unusual physical and chemical processes that take place when a porous medium is shocked have not been studied so much. In this work, researchers in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, metallurgy, mechanics and materials science seek to bridge the gap. The focus is on heterogeneous deformation mechanisms, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and chemical processes, discussing such topics as: modelling the complex interplay of thermal, ...

While much is known about the effects of shock compression on monolithic materials, the unusual physical and chemical processes that take place when a porous medium is shocked have not been studied so much. In this work, researchers in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, metallurgy, mechanics and materials science seek to bridge the gap. The focus is on heterogeneous deformation mechanisms, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and chemical processes, discussing such topics as: modelling the complex interplay of thermal, mechanical, and chemical processes; experimental data on pore collapse and their interpretation; and synthesis of new materials through shock-induced chemical reactions.
