1.3 Shock Compression <strong>in</strong> Niquel (SCRIPT3):<br />

Consider a cont<strong>in</strong>uous block of material of constant cross-section A. A piston drives <strong>in</strong>to the material<br />

with a velocity U p . In the situation be<strong>in</strong>g considered here, the piston is travell<strong>in</strong>g at a constant velocity.<br />

Therefore the material beh<strong>in</strong>d the shock is travell<strong>in</strong>g at the same velocity as the piston. From figure 1.4<br />

and 1.5 it can be seen that the motion of the piston causes an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the density of the material<br />

ahead of it, as the material is ’gathered up’. The action of the piston, which causes the material to beg<strong>in</strong><br />

mov<strong>in</strong>g, and the resultant <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> density causes a shock to travel forward at velocity U s .<br />
