Little scientific examination of the deterioration of materials at depth has been undertaken except that by the US Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory and Naval Research, Laboratory. The results of this work were reported by Reinhart in 1966 and more recently the work has been reviewed by Kirk . Typical corrosion data for a selection of metals exposed in the Pacific Ocean at several sites and for different times are shown in Table 2.19 and are compared with results obtained in surface waters at Wrightsville Beach by International Nickel Inc.

With the advent of vector processors over the last ten years, the vector computer has become the most efficient and in some instances the only affordable way to solve certain computational problems. One such computer, the Texas Instruments Advanced Scientific Computer (ASC), has been used extensively at the Naval Research Laboratory to model atmospheric and combustion processes, dynamics of laser implosions, and other plasma physics problems. Furthermore, vectorization is achieved in these programs using standard Fortran. This paper will describe some of the hardware and software differences which distinguish the ASC from the more conventional scalar computer and review some of the fundamental principles behind vector program design.

In the shock initiation mode [2], either an incident or reflected shock wave is the primary means to produce the detonation. Betsically, the shock rapidly heats the gas by compression. Under suitable conditions, an explosion occurs behind the shock wave. This explosion generates accelerating pressure waves, which quickly become a detonation wave before or after catching up with the initially applied shock wave. In the present U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) project, the simulation of shock initiation mode has been used to access the numerical accuracy and to validate the code. In the last mid-year review, detailed simulation of detonation initiation by a reflected shock was reported. The results were also summarized and reported in the AIAA Sciences Meeting held in 2002 [3].

Volume I treats basic properties and volume II is devoted to application-oriented properties. Hydrogen in Intermetallic Compounds I, published in 1988, and Hydrogen in Intermetallic Compounds II, published in 1992, contain perhaps the most comprehensive information on the reversible hydrides of intermetallic compounds and on their applications.[6] Another good review is by Buschow et al.[7] Sandrock has written several fine reviews,[8-10] the comprehensive and highly application-oriented one, published as a Report to the US Office of Naval Research, is especially recommended. [9] A guide to the metal hydride literature is also available.[ll]...
