Modern Impact Mechanics: Perforation, Brittle Materials, Distended Materials, and Uncertainty Quantification
This graduate textbook uses dynamic material motion to convey continuum mechanics and material response. Examples from impact and penetration problems are used to illustrate solid mechanics. Fundamentals of materials characterization, materials failure and elastic and elastic-plastic material response are covered to offer readers easy access. This second volume of two focuses on discussions of penetration and impact topics.
