Based on experimental research in shock loading of solid-state materials it is shown that among the important dynamic characteristics of the process, like spatial-temporal mass velocity profiles of shock waves, are the mass velocity variation, velocity defect, and structural instability threshold recorded in real time. Analysis of these characteristics depending on the strain rate, target thickness, and structural state of material demonstrates that conventional approaches of continuum mechanics fail to provide their adequate interpretation and simulation of shock wave processes. A new concept of shock wave processes in condensed media is proposed. The concept, being based on nonlocal nonequilibrium transport theory, allows describing the transition from elastic to hydrodynamic response of a medium depending on the loading rate and time. A nonstationary elastoplastic wave model is proposed for describing the relaxation of an elastic precursor and formation of a retarded plastic front during the wave propagation in a medium with regard to structural evolution. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the division of stresses and strains into elastic and plastic components is incorrect for shock loading.
