Formulas for Mechanical and Structural Shock and Impact

> In recent years, interest continues to increase in the engineering community around the concept of explosive action and the associated fragmentation of structural elements. This book addresses these topics in an approachable yet comprehensive way, covering the civilian, military, and infrastructure protection fields. Self-contained and concise, it presents a collection of formulas describing dynamic response to shock loads and explores a range of mechanical and civil engineering applications. The text enables engineers to calculate what happens to structures and objects when pushed, pulled, jerked, or blasted by providing ready access to those formulas needed for advanced problem solving
