Shock and Impact on Structures

by C.A. Brebbia (Editor)

Nine perspectives from computational mechanics on the behavior of structures under shock and impact in the nuclear industry, transport flasks, concrete structures, aircraft engines, low-impact velocity applications, high-loading rates, and other areas. The topics include the numerical simulation of high-rate behavior, blast of surface structures, the dynamic response of ceramics to shock wave loading, and mixed finite elements for contact-impact of solids undergoing large strains.
