Summarizing the recent advances in high strain rate testing, this book discusses techniques for designing, executing, analyzing, and interpreting the results of experiments involving the dynamic behavior of multifunctional materials such as metals, polymers, fiber-reinforced polymers, hybrid laminates and so forth. The book also discusses analytical and numerical modeling of materials under high-velocity impact loading and other environmental conditions. Recent advances in characterization techniques such as digital image correlation and computed tomography for high strain rate applications are included.
