TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of metal plates is considered within the framework of the model of a viscous incompressible fluid and the beginning of the wave-formation process in the model is equivalent to the initial stage of origination of instability of a steady flow in Landau's scenario.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the protection efficiency of the first bumpers made of the metal composites with that for the duralumin shield by impact of spherical steel projectile with the velocity of 5.5 and 7.5 km/s.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic regularities of thermal processes in the heat-affected zone during metal explosive welding are revealed, and it is theoretically shown and experimentally confirmed that the heat released during detonation of the explosive can significantly increase the temperature of the contacting metal layers and lead to melting of the latter.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of acoustic rigidity of metallic binders on the residual porosity of samples after explosive treatment is revealed, and it is shown that the degree of compacting of mixtures of carbide powders with metals under explosive compaction is determined by the possibility of arrival of shock waves in the metallic binder particles at their surfaces free of contacts with other particles and with a mass velocity acquired by the metal binder at these surfaces due to unloading.

TL;DR: In this paper, the macrodefects of the structure of samples produced by explosive compaction of an aluminum powder were examined, and the areas of the new contact particle surfaces produced by high-rate deformation were measured by stereological methods.
