Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The objective of this special volume is to disseminate information on current trends in the fields of explosion, shock wave and high-energy reaction phenomena and to establish a world-wide network so as to overcome the limitation, on related research fields, arising from the low number of active researchers.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). Explosion, shock wave, high-energy reaction and other high-rate phenomena of various materials are the main topic of this collection. The book includes papers related to explosion and shock wave phenomena driven by explosives and other impulsive phenomena including their applications. The use of such intense dynamic loading has been employed for materials processing technology and the field is currently spreading to food processing and others. The volume will bring to readers new idea for the progress in science and technology.

5th ESHP Selected, peer reviewed papers from the Fifth International Symposium on Explosion, Shock Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena (5th ESHP), September 25-28, 2016, Beijing, China
