Structures Under Shock And Impact IX (Wit Transactions on the Built Environment) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The shock and impact behaviour of structures is a difficult area, not only because of its obvious time-dependent aspects, but also because of the difficulties in specifying the external dynamic loading characteristics and in obtaining the full dynamic properties of materials. This book examines the interaction between blast pressure and surface or underground structures, whether the blast is from civilian, military, dust and natural explosions, or any other source. Including papers from the Ninth International Conference on Structures Under Shock and Impact, the book will be of significant interest to engineers from civil, military, nuclear, offshore, aeronautical, transportation and other backgrounds. Featured topics include: Impact and Blast Loading Characteristics; Protection of Structures from Blast Loads; Missile Penetration and Explosion; Air Craft and Missile Crash Against High-rise Buildings; Seismic Engineering Applications; Energy Absorbing Issues; Fluid Structure Interaction; Behaviour of Structural Concrete; Behaviour of Steel Structures; Structural Behaviour of Composites; Material Response to High Rate Loading; Structural Crashworthiness; Impact Biomechanics; Structural Serviceability under Impact Loading; Microdynamics; Interaction between Computational and Experimental Results; Software for Shock and Impact.
