Materials At High Strain Rates
The general importance attached to the response of metallic and nonmetallic materials to the effects of dynamic and shock loading is reflected in the number of international conferences and the growing volume of published papers.
This volume, written by specialists in the area of high energy rate applications, summaries the present state of knowledge. The contents have been selected with a view to providing information about the general properties of materials and the conditions created in solid and particulate matter by specific loading conditions. Metallurgical effects of shock loading, with an emphasis on the adiabatic shear phenomenon, are reviewed together with the physical, chemical and mechanical transformation occurring in ceramic and polymeric substances. The incidence and mode of fracture, associated with dynamic loading and the consequent passage of stress waves, are discussed in detail, as is the surface response to impact.
The book, as a compendium of practical and theoretical knowledge, is indispensable to engineers and materials scientists already concerned with the high energy-rate phenomena. It will also be of interest to the newcomer seeking authoritative, searching but simply presented information.
