About this book
Dynamic Failure of Materials and Structures discusses the topic of dynamic loadings and their effect on material and structural failure. Since dynamic loading problems are very difficult as compared to their static counterpart, very little information is currently available about dynamic behavior of materials and structures. Topics covered include the response of both metallic as well as polymeric composite materials to blast loading and shock loadings, impact loadings and failure of novel materials under more controlled dynamic loads. These include response of soft materials that are important in practical use but have very limited information available on their dynamic response. Dynamic fragmentation, which has re-emerged in recent years has also been included. Both experimental as well as numerical aspects of material and structural response to dynamic loads are discussed.
Written by several key experts in the field, Dynamic Failure of Materials and Structures will appeal to graduate students and researchers studying dynamic loadings within mechanical and civil engineering, as well as in physics and materials science.
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book is written for graduate students and researchers who are studying dynamic loading with applications in civil and defence structures. … This book provides a detailed view of experimental techniques and results of composite structures under dynamic loadings. Overall, it is a good book on structural damage behaviour under dynamic loadings.” (Ran Zhou, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 19 (1), 2014)
