This lecture delves into the phenomenon of shock-induced amorphization in ultrahard ceramics, focusing on the structures, properties, and behavior of materials like boron carbide under extreme conditions. The instructor presents research on the anomalous deformation of boron carbide, the deciphering of amorphization mechanisms, and the comparison of Hugoniot curves with experimental data.
