Ebook: Shock Waves for Industrial Applications

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and industrial applications of shock waves to materials fabrication and manufacturing processes. It covers metals and alloys, ceramics, and polymers either as powders or composites. It is aimed at the industrialist, managers of technology, manufacturers, and those involved in a host of manufacturing processes where shock wave fabrication may provide some novel approaches and new process insights.
