Abstract
We have studied the formation of hot spot in materials under high-spee d loading using the method of molecular dynamics. It is shown that the appearance of hot spots is associated with release of the elastic ene rgy accumulated in the deficient region. The evolution of a hot spot i s followed by intense energy release and by structural rearrangements near Its location. The results obtained are of importance for understa nding of the effects of mechanical activation of the components in sol id-phase chemical reactions.
