Recently shock compression technology has been bocoming popular in the field of materials science and geophysics in Japan as a tool of high pressure generation . A project research “Understandings of Shock Wave Phenomena” supported by Grant - in - Aid for Scientific Research of Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan has been conducted in 1990- 93. An im -portant topic of this project was shock wave phenomena in condensed matters. A recent activity of the research on condensed matters is summarized and an importance of quantitative re -search of shock temperaure in porous materials is emphasized .
