Summary
"Do you want to understand how projectiles are stopped by, or go through, armours and other materials? Master the fundamentals of impact mechanics through the use of analytical modelling, large scale numerical simulations, and experiments with this practical text. Spans topics including continuum mechanics, waves and shocks, and the high-strain-rate and large deformation constitutive and failure modelling of solids, and addresses the mechanics of materials in extreme dynamic environments. Covers the stress and strain tensors, and provides understanding of how they are used in modelling large, high-rate deformations. Providing both a qualitative and a quantitative understanding, with an emphasis on solid mechanics, this is an essential text for graduates. In addition, it is perfect as a reference for academic researchers and professionals interested in wave motion, impact and penetration"
