Overview

This book provides a critical review of both theoretical and experimental work in the rapidly expanding field of high energy physics, particularly thermophysics of intensive pulsed excitation. Of growing pragmatic interest, these methods have lead to laboratory studies of extreme states characterized by very high pressures, temperatures, and loading rates that are unattainable by other means. The main body of the book describes models and methods for producing and examining extreme states in dynamic experiments. Further sections describe numerical methods of continuous medium mechanics and practical solutions for certain industrial applications. Processes described are encountered in major power engineering and technological projects based on high local energy concentrations and are of vital importance. It is aimed at academic and industrial researchers in thermophysics, as well as nuclear, chemical, aeronautical, and power engineering, and astrophysics.
