Exploring the underlying principles of materials under extreme external pressures, this unified guide provides a toolbox for assessing and predicting their behaviour and applying them to practical design situations. Real-world examples are included from a range of natural phenomena and industrial applications across science and engineering.
This unified guide brings together the underlying principles, and predictable material responses, that connect metals, polymers, brittle solids and energetic materials as they respond to extreme external stresses. Previously disparate scientific principles, concepts and terminology are combined within a single theoretical framework, across different materials and scales, to provide all the tools necessary to understand, and calculate, the responses of materials and structures to extreme static and dynamic loading. Real-world examples illustrate how material behaviours produce a component response, enabling recognition – and avoidance – of the deformation mechanisms that contribute to mechanical failure. A final synoptic chapter presents a case study of extreme conditions brought about by the infamous Chicxulub impact event. Bringing together simple concepts from diverse fields into a single, accessible, rigorous text, this is an indispensable reference for all researchers and practitioners in materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, physical chemistry and geophysics.

Neil Bourne is a Distinguished Scientist at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) and the former Chair of the American Physical Society's Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter. For the past decade he has worked with the British Government to expand the study of materials under extremes. He gained his PhD and ScD from the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.
