Preface

The effort to document this history of shock wave research, entitled Impactful Times: Memories of 60 Years of Shock Wave Research at Sandia National Laboratories, began in the early fall of 2011. James (Jim) Asay and Lalit Chhabildas had been queried by many new staff who joined Sandia in the late 1990s and early 2000s about providing a history of shock wave technology development. To make this a comprehensive document, we decided to start from the mid 1950s, when shock wave research originated at Sandia, and carry the development of the technology and Sandia’s accompli
