Description
Energy absorption behaviour of structures and materials is essential for the selection and design of energy absorbers, the evaluation of crashworthiness, and damage assessment when subjected to an accidental collision. While a great deal of research is currently available on the subject, knowledge is widely scattered. Energy Absorption of Structures and Materials studies this energy absorption in terms of materials engineering, structural mechanics, theory of plasticity and impact dynamics. This book offers basic concepts, methodologies, simple analytical techniques and more in a fluid and practical handbook for researchers interested in energy absorption calculations and design of structures and materials against impact.
