Abstract
Precondition for stable shock wave propagation is a convex Equation of State (EoS) in terms of pressure and volume. The first mathematical proof for the existence and dependence of shock waves on that non-linearity was derived by Bethe [1]. In this introductory chapter, a more phenomenological approach to derive conditions for shock wave formation will be given along with some examples for Equations of State used in hydrocodes.
