Shock Compression and Chemical Reaction of Multifunctional Energetic Structural Materials provides an exhaustive overview of the mechanics, kinetics, and physio-chemical behaviour caused by shock-induced reaction and shock compression on multifunctional energetic structural materials (MESMs). The book covers foundational knowledge on shock waves and Equation of State (EOS), shock parameters, reaction kinetics, impedance matching, and more. It also looks at more advanced subjects such as experimental analysis methods, numerical modelling techniques (from quasi-static to high-strain rates, including void collapse models), how EOS changes when reaction and detonation are involved, how to obtain the EOS curves from experiments, and various testing methods and numerical models for non-reactive porous solids and particulate composites, including 1-D reactive flow models. Flyer plate impact experiments are also discussed, as are the applications of hydrocodes and Lagrangian-framework-based methods.
