Chapter 1: Introduction to Extreme Loading Conditions: Shock, Blast and Impact -- Chapter 2: Fundamental of Shock Waves -- Chapter 3: Experimental Facility for High Strain Rate Material Testing -- Chapter 4: Measurement and Diagnostic Techniques for High Strain Rate Material Testing -- Chapter 5: Attenuation of Shock Wave Through Granular Materials -- Chapter 6: Granular Material Responses to Air-Blast Wave Loading -- Chapter 7: Response of Embedded Structures in Granular Material to Air-Blast Wave Loading -- Chapter 8: Granular Materials Responses to Buried-Blast Wave Loading.

This volume discusses the fundamental dynamic behaviour of granular materials, in particular cohesionless sand, when subjected to shock and blast wave loading. The contents of the book are mainly divided into three parts based on the type of loading imparted to the granular materials: Shock-wave loading (step pulse); Air-blast loading (Friedlander wave); Buried-blast loading. It provides a comprehensive review of the available testing methods, along with the necessary diagnostic measurements for material characterization, making it useful for researchers working in the area of blast protection and Impact engineering.
