Structural Impact (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Structural Impact is concerned with the behaviour of structures and components subjected to large dynamic, impact and explosive loads which produce inelastic deformations. It is of interest for safety calculations, hazard assessments and energy absorbing systems throughout industry. The first five chapters introduce the rigid plastic methods of analysis for the static behaviour and the dynamic response of beams, plates and shells. The influence of transverse shear, rotatory inertia, finite displacements and dynamic material properties are introduced and studied in some detail. Dynamic progressive buckling, which develops in several energy absorbing systems, and the phenomenon of dynamic plastic buckling are introduced. Scaling laws are discussed which are important for relating the response of small-scale experimental tests to the dynamic behaviour of full-scale prototypes. This text is invaluable to undergraduates, graduates and professionals learning about the behaviour of structures subjected to large impact, dynamic and blast loadings producing an inelastic response.

Autorenporträt

Dr Norman Jones is an Emeritus Professor of Engineering at the University of Liverpool. He was previously the A. A. Griffith Professor of Engineering, headed the University's Department of Mechanical Engineering (1982¿1990) and served as Director of the Impact Research Centre (1985¿2005). Prior to that, he was a Professor of Ocean Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has published more than 300 papers, principally on many aspects of the response of structures subjected to dynamic, impact and blast loadings which produce large inelastic strains. He is the honorary editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Impact Engineering and was editor (1983¿87) and editor-in-chief (1988¿2008) and is the author of the first edition of Structural Impact (1989, 1997). Professor Jones is honorary professor at Huazhong and Taiyuan Universities of Science and Technology in China, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (London) and a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
