Addresses fundamentals and advanced topics relevant to the behavior of materials under in-service conditions such as impact, shock, stress and high-strain rate deformations. Deals extensively with materials from a microstructure perspective which is the future direction of research today.
Addresses fundamentals and advanced topics relevant to the behavior of materials under in-service conditions such as impact, shock, stress and high-strain rate deformations. Deals extensively with materials from a microstructure perspective which is the future direction of research today. Booknews Provides scientists, engineers, and students with a working knowledge of the dynamic characteristics of materials under conditions of real- world stress and strain--balancing theory, experimentation, and applications. Featuring an extensive examination of materials behavior from a microstructural perspective, the volume progresses topically from the mechanics of high-strain rate deformation (including elastic, plastic, shock, and detonation waves) to the dynamic response of materials, with a look at constitutive models, shear instabilities, and dynamic fracture.
