High Velocity Impact Dynamics

Download or read book High Velocity Impact Dynamics written by Jonas A. Zukas and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1990-11-08 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium of mathematical techniques for the modeling and simulation of high-velocity impacts presents the various analytical and experimental aspects of impact dynamics and describes the responses of a variety of materials and structures under impact. Coverage is extended beyond that of the author's Impact Dynamics and deals with new topics in impacts involving inert materials, including the dynamic response to energetic and inert materials. Treatment uses classical mechanics along with the conservation laws, combined with failure analysis.
