Shock-Wave Data Base

Shock-wave investigations made it possible the knowledge of information on thermodynamic properties of matter under conditions of extremely high pressure and temperature. Measurements of principal, reflected and porous Hugoniots and determinations of release isentrope parameters cover a broad range of the phase diagram. This unique information embraces nine orders with respect to pressure and five orders with respect to density. All of the data are unique, have their own history and present a result of complicated expensive experiments. Scientific community published a large amount of papers which contain ca. 10000 experimental points. These data have been collected and stored as ASCII files. A special procedure have been developed to convert original ASCII files to SQL format. The SQL base containing 200 references and 3000 records (from original 350 references and 10000 records in ASCII-files) was constructed. The system interface allowing on-line and e-mail access to the database was constructed, tested and installed. The database was installed on UNIX-platform with the use of SQL and Perl languages. The system interface provides for an access to the server with installed database through WWW-gateway by address http://teos.ficp.ac.ru/rusbank/ or http://193.233.42.5/rusbank/.
