Granular forms of common materials such as metals and ceramics, sands and soils, porous energetic materials (explosives, reactive mixtures), and foams exhibit interesting behaviors due to their heterogeneity and critical length scale, typically commensurate with the grain or pore size. Under extreme conditions of impact, granular and porous materials display highly localized phenomena such as fracture, inelastic deformation, and the closure of voids, which in turn strongly influence the bulk response. Due to the complex nature of these interactions and the short time scales involved, computational methods have proven to be powerful tools to investigate these phenomena. Thus, the coupled use of experiment, theory, and simulation is critical to advancing our understanding of shock processes in initially porous and granular materials.
This is a comprehensive volume on granular and porous materials for researchers working in the area of shock and impact physics. The book is divided into three sections, where the first presents the fundamentals of shock physics as it pertains to the equation of state, compaction, and strength properties of porous materials. Building on these fundamentals, the next section examines several applications where dynamic processes involving initially porous materials are prevalent, focusing on the areas of penetration, planetary impact, and reactive munitions. The final section provides a look at emerging areas in the field, where the expansion of experimental and computational capabilities are opening the door for new opportunities in the areas of advanced light sources, molecular dynamics modeling, and additively manufactured porous structures. By intermixing experiment, theory, and simulation throughout, this book serves as an excellent, up-to-date desk reference for those in the field of shock compression science of porous and granular materials."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Dr. Vogler’s research interests include the dynamic behavior of granular materials, the high-pressure strength of materials such as metals and ceramics, failure and fracture of materials, and the blast loading of structures. He is involved in both experiment, which utilize the Z machine, gas guns, and explosives, and simulations using the DOE's high-performance computing platforms.
Dr. Vogler is an associate editor of the Journal of the Dynamic Behavior of Materials. He has also been active in the American Physical Society Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter, serving as an officer for six year between 2007 and 2014 and co-organized the group's biennial meeting in 2011. He currently resides in Livermore, California and enjoys running and other outdoor activities as well as coaching youth track and cross country.
Dr. D. Anthony Fredenburg received his formal education in Materials Science and Engineering from North Carolina State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research into the dynamic response of porous materials began during his tenure at Georgia Tech, where his thesis work focused on developing a framework for utilizing the quasi-static densification behavior of granular mixtures to predict their response under dynamic loading. Since that time he has continued to pursue advancements in the field of granular shock physics with an eye toward predictive compaction modeling.
Currently residing in Santa Fe, NM, Dr. Fredenburg continues to engage in the high pressure science of both granular and solid materials at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In recent years his research has shifted more toward modeling and simulation, where he is able to couple advanced material models and theories to a wide range of dynamic impact applications. While not pursuing scientific endeavors, Dr. Fredenburg enjoys spending time with his growing family and engaging in activities such as hiking, running, and boating.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
