Description/Abstract Almost everyone working in shock wave research is aware of the fact that the Russians have published some papers on the shock compression of metals in which fantastically high pressures and projectile velocities are reported.^In order to describe their high pressure experimental results, the Soviet workers made some major modifications to the Mie-Gruneisen equation formerly used to describe metals.^These papers appeared in the American translations of the Russian literature over a four year period from late 1958 to late 1962.^Purpose of this report is to present a summary of these papers which can be read rapidly and leaves the reader with a fairly comprehensive picture of the Soviet work on metals.^The main text of this report is a description of the experimental methods, handling of the data, and the equation of state models used to describe the behavior of metals at high pressures and temperatures.^The numerical information presented in these papers has been collected and is collected and is presented in two appendices.^The exprimental data such as measured shock velocities and flying plate velocities and quantities computed directly from these data by the Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions are presented in Appendix A. On the basis of particular equation of state models suggested by the experimental data, thermodynamic quantities such as 0/sup 0/ K isotherms, Gruneisen functions, and shock temperatures are calculated.^These calculated results, as distinguished from direct experimental data, are collected and presented in Appendix B.
