Dynamic Failure of Materials and Structures
Dynamic Failure of Materials and Structures discusses the topic of dynamic loadings and its effect on material and structural failure. Since dynamic loading problems are very difficult as compared to their static counterpart, relatively little is known ab

Preface
Dynamic behavior of materials and structures is the study of materials and structures subjected to impact or impulse loading with wide-ranging applications in marine, automotive, aircraft, and space structures. The scientific understanding of the deformation and failure of materials under dynamic loading is essential in the design of structures and mitigating the effects of impact and impulse loading for protection of civil and defense structures. This book is a collection of papers by leading authorities of the field who provide detailed and comprehensive view of the subject related to theory, computational simulation, and experiment. Recent advances in the study of materials and structures under dynamic loading are highlighted and presented in the context of the developments which have led to these advances. The book contains 12 chapters dealing with a broad range of topics in the dynamic response of materials and structures including metals, ceramics, polymers, soft matter, composites, and sandwich structures. The dynamic loading regimes considered include impact and impulse loading due to blast and shocks. The material response is evaluated over a range of stress and deformation states including shear, pressure, uniaxial strain/compression/tension, and 3D stress states. The aspects of damage evolution under dynamic loading conditions have been addressed in great detail in several of the chapters both experimentally and through numerical simulations. The firs
