The response of several geologic materials to explosively induced spherical shock waves has been studied. Measurements made include stress, particle velocity, and strain gauge time histories at stress levels from 10 to 150 kbars. The influence of water content and cracks was also studied. Gas-gun impact experiments employing oblique target and impactor design have demonstrated the feasibility of studying the propagation of shear waves in plane geometry. (Author).

The general approach, physical concepts, and methods employed in the actual development of the equipment are discussed. The equipment and its capabilities are described. A brief summary of concurrent reports that describe results of studies of response in granular media is presented. The summary indicates that the significant parameters have been correctly identified from theoretical mechanics and suitably measured, since results demonstrate relationships between stress-strain behavior and propagating waves in laboratory devices. The report also summarizes the broad range of protective construction problems which lend themselves to study in this equipment. These include such studies as the effects of reflection phenomena, the effects of layered media, soil-structure interaction in a high-stress field, and the evaluation of disturbances in free-field conditions caused by the presence of a gauge. The latter is shown to be possible by virtue of the ability to measure soil response without placing a gauge in the soil or attaching one to the sample. (Author).

The primary objective of Foundations of Stress Waves is to give the reader an understanding of stress wave behaviour while taking into account the dynamic constitutive equations of elastic-plastic solids. The author has combined a 'materials characteristics' approach with a 'singularity surface' approach in this work, which readers will find to be a novel and unique route to solving their problems. Helps engineers understand the effects and behavior of stress waves in various materials Aids in the process of engineering design, testing, and evaluation

This book presents recent studies of acoustic wave propagation through different media including the atmosphere, Earth's subsurface, complex dusty plasmas, porous materials, and flexible structures. Mathematical models of the underlying physical phenomena are introduced and studied in detail. With its seven chapters, the book brings together important contributions from renowned international researchers to provide an excellent survey of recent computational and experimental studies of acoustic waves. The first section consists of four chapters that focus on computational studies, while the next section is composed of three chapters that center on experimental studies.
