Download or read book Engineering Plasticity And Impact Dynamics, Proceedings Of The Intl Symp On Plasticity And Impact (Ispi 2001) written by Liangchi Zhang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001-12-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasticity and impact dynamics are two important areas in engineering practice, which includes structural engineering, crashworthiness, metal formation and new structural materials. The application of engineering plasticity and impact dynamics has resulted in significant achievements both technically and economically.This book presents the state-of-the-art developments in the above fields. It contains over 15 chapters written by experts in engineering plasticity and impact dynamics. It covers a wide range of theoretical developments and engineering applications, including fundamentals of energy absorption, applications of new materials, crashworthiness, bifurcation in plasticity, microdynamics, penetration, wave propagation, fracture, laser impact and particle-impact-induced erosion.
