This monograph discusses in detail the compacting conditions and the resultant
structure and properties of metals, composites and ceramics. It covers the basic
aspects of science and technology of explosive compaction. Comprise chapters
on Shock Waves in Matter, Technology of Explosive Compaction, Explosive Compaction
of Metallic Powders, Explosive Compaction of Composites, Explosive Compaction
of Ceramic and Super-Hard Materials, Industrial Applications and Directions
for future Research including Shock Synthesis of New Materials. The coverage
is extensive and the style is simple. A number of figures and micrographs enrich
the presentation further.
This monograph is well structured to be a textbook to students of engineering
in colleges and universities and to engineers interested in using this technology.
