Abstract: Flier-plate Material with Graded Wave Impedance is a new kind of Functionally Graded Material (FGM), which may be applied to dynamic high-pressure physics.
By using such flier-plate material, quasi-isentropic compression to target material or projectile can be realized, and based on it hypervelocity launching of projectile
is further accomplished. As a result, extremely high pressure equivalent to nuclear explosion can be obtained in the laboratory, which offers a practical and feasible
method for the design of nuclear weapons and the researches on weapon physics.

Key words: flier-plate material with graded wave impedance, quasi-isentropic compression, hypervelocity launching
