Selected results and open problems in a semiclassical theory of dense matter
This is a review of studies of the behaviour of materials under high pressure
in Serbia in the second half of the last century.Theoretical foundations are
presented,as well as some examples of the results and a selection of the open
problems.Comment: 11 pages,no figure
Heating in collisions of solids:possible application to impact craters
Due to the importance of collisions and impacts in early phases of the
evolution of the planetary system, it is interesting to estimate the heating of
a solid target due to an impact in it . A physically simple calculation of the
temperature to which a solid target heats up after the impact of a projectile
with mass and speed is performed,and possibilities for the application
of this result in planetology are pointed out.Comment: plain LaTeX, 9 page
