One of the main reasons for continuing interest in shock focusing is its ability to concentrate energy in a small volume and produce extreme temperatures and pressures in fluids in a controlled laboratory environment.

Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1 of theProceedings of the 2021 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the first volume of six from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering.  The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers on:Hybrid Experimental-Analytical TechniquesIndustrial ApplicationsQuantitative Visualization of Dynamic EventsNovel Testing TechniquesShock and BlastSynchrotron Applications and Advanced...
