Blast and ballistic loading of structures
by Smith, P. D.
Describes the response of structures to blast and ballistic loading. This text brings together the key elements of the loads produced from explosive sources, how they interact with structures and the way structures respond to them. It presents information accessibly, avoiding overuse of maths.
