The text is richly illustrated, lightly written and more wide-ranging than Volume 1. A comprehensive treatment of fluid-structure interactions involving axial flow and slender structures, such as piping, human veins, aircraft, nuclear reactor fuel and submarine skins. The emphasis is on fundamentals, particularly on the physical understanding and underlying mechanisms, as well as on applications.This book will be invaluable for researchers, professional engineers, applied scientists and students involved in the design, study or operation or systems involving fluid flow, internal or external structures, wind or ocean currents Emphasizes real-world analysis of problems encountered in the field and presents their solutions A practical and thorough literature review of over 1400 references, an excellent reference document Bridges the gap between academic researchers and practitioners in industry

This book compiles historical notes and a review of the work of the author and his associates on shock compression of condensed matter (SCCM). The work includes such topics as foundational aspects of SCCM, thermodynamics, thermodynamics of defects, and plasticity as they relate to shock compression, shock-induced phase transition, and shock compaction. Also included are synthesis of refractory and hard ceramic compounds such as Ni aluminides, SiC and diamonds, method of characteristics, discrete element methods, the shock compression process at the grain scale, and modeling shock-to-detonation transition in high explosives. The book tells the story of how the author’s view of shock physics came to be where it is now. and analytically discusses how the author’s appreciation of shock waves has evolved in time. It offers a personal but pedagogical perspective on SCCM for young scientists and engineers who are starting their careers in the field. For experts it offers materials to nudge them reflect on their own stories, with the hope of planting a seed of motivation to write them down to be published.

The problems of transient interaction of deformable bodies with surrounding media are of great practical and theoretical importance. When solving the problems of this kind, the main difficulty is in the necessity to integrate jointly the system of equations which describe motion of the body and the system of equations which describe motion of the medium under the boundary conditions predetermined at the unknown (movable) curvilinear interfaces. At that, the position of these interfaces should be determined as part of the solution process. That is why, the known exact solutions in this area of mechanics of continuum have been derived mainly for the cases of idealized rigid bodies. Different aspects of the problems of transient interaction of bodies and structures with continuum (derivation of the efficient mathematical mod els for the phenomenon, development of the theoretical and experimental methods to be used for study of the transient problems of mechanics, etc.) were considered in the books by S.U. Galiev, A.N. Guz, V.D. Kubenko, V.B. Poruchikov, L.L Slepyan, A.S. Volmir, and Yu.S. Yakovlev. The results presented by these authors make interest when solving a great variety of problems and show a necessity of joint usage of the results obtained in differ ent areas: aerohydrodynamics, theory of elasticity and plasticity, mechanics of soils, theory of shells and plates, applied and computational mathemat ics, etc.
