The proceedings of the Conference of the American Physical Society Topical Group on Schock Compression of Condensed Matter - 1997 provides a forum where scientists and engineers studying the response of condensed matter to dynamic high pressures and temperatures could exchange ideas and technical information. During the conference, papers describing the mechanical, chemical, electromagnetic, and optical response of condensed phase materials to shock stimuli were presented. Theoretical, computational, and experimental results were discussed. Included are sections on equations of state, phase transitions, material properties and synthesis, optical, electrical, and laser studies, hypervelocity phenomenology, and impact and penetration mechanics.
