Required reading for those in the relevant areas of work, this book
examines the testing and modeling of materials and structures under
dynamic loading conditions.
Readers get an in-depth analysis of the current mathematical modeling
and simulation tools available for a variety of materials, alongside
discussions of the benefits and limitations these tools pose in
industrial design.
The models discussed are also available in commercial codes such as
LS-DYNA and AOTODYN.
Following a logical and well organized structure, this volume uniquely
combines experimental procedures with numerical simulation.
What's more, it does so with reference to a number of new materials,
making this volume right up-to-date in its scope.
It features examples based on actual projects and problems in the
automotive, aerospace, and defense industries.
