IMPACT STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

This book presents a compilation of information and analytical methods on the subject of the impact strength of materials. It contains ten chapters dealing with: 1, elementary one-dimensional elastic stress waves in long uniform bars due to impact; 2, applications of elementary one-dimensional stress wave theory; 3, elastic stress waves: more general considerations; 4, plasticity theory and some quasi-static analyses; 5, one dimensional elastic-plastic stress waves in bars; 6, impulsive loading of beams; 7, dynamic loading of rings and frames; 8, dynamic plastic deformation of plates; 9, plastic deformation in a semi-infinite medium due to impact; and 10, plastic deformation in plates due to impact. Two appendices contain: 1, useful conversion factors; and 2, text tables in SI units. (TRRL)
