Invited by the National Key Laboratory of Explosion Science and Technology, Professor Rolf Prummer from the University of Karlsruhe of Germany gave a series of lectures in BIT. The topic of his lectures is “Shock Wave Physics and its application”. The first lecture was given in the 13thJune, and 13 lectures were given during two weeks. Professor Rolf Prummer is world-wide well-known expert in the explosion process with the experience of over 40 years. His talks mainly consisted of the welding, forming, cutting, hardening and compaction of powders by explosion. An experiment about the Mach Effect by the shock wave was also demonstrated.
