A part of the shock-waves science and technology has stimulated the research field of “Materials Dynamics” which needs some technological evolution for the diagnostics of ultra fast phenomena and some conceptual evolution for the hierarchy of the material domain dependent on sound speed. This article describes fundamental features of shock-waves science and gives some examples of diagnostic technologies such as pump and probe measurements for time-resolved x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering under shock loading.
