Behavior of Materials Under Impact, Explosion, High Pressures and Dynamic Strain Rates

This book offers a comprehensive examination of the fundamental principles governing the destruction of solids under dynamic loads, including impact, explosion, high pressures, and high strain rates. It presents both experimental and theoretical studies, with numerical analyses validated against experimental data and established analytical solutions. The materials explored encompass metal multilayer plates, functionally graded materials, advanced composites, smart materials, and natural substances.

Dr. Maxim Yu. Orlov is a Senior Researcher at Laboratory of high-energy and special materials, National research Tomsk State University, Russia. His research focuses on protective structures, impact resistance, numerical modeling, and experimental testing of advanced materials under dynamic loads.
