Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been the subject of intensive scientific research and development in the communities of materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering and manufacturing. Considering their light weight and high specific strength, current and potential applications include the aerospace industry, automobiles, and vehicle and personnel armors. This range of applications demands a good understanding of the behavior under extreme conditions such as impact or high strain rate loading. The past two decades have witnessed a surge of studies of the mechanical responses of Mg and its alloys under impact loading, both experimentally and using simulations and modeling at different spatial and temporal scales. Experimental examinations at strain rates up to 1 0 7 s− 1 (shock wave loading) have been published. In terms of simulations and modeling efforts, multi-physics, multi-scale …
