About this title

Synopsis

This two-volume, 1100 pages, 38 chapters book is a significantly expanded, revised and updated version of the monograph by the authors published in 2013 (Ben-Dor, G, Dubinsky, A, Elperin, T, "High Speed Penetration Dynamics: Engineering Models and Methods," Singapore: World Scientific Publishing Company). The contents increased by 60%, the number of titles in bibliography doubled and reached 1600 and the scope broadened to cover a range of new topics related to hypervelocity penetration, along with high-speed impact.

Presented material is structured into two parts. The first part includes description and analysis of practically all known engineering models for calculating high-speed penetration of projectiles into concrete, metals, geological shields, adobe and gelatine.

The second part focuses on the use of approximate models for solving conventional and non-standard problems of penetration mechanics, including prediction and optimization of protective properties of monolithic and multi-layered shields against high-speed projectiles and space debris; shape optimization of high-speed projectiles penetrating into various media; modelling of penetration and optimal control of penetrators equipped with jet thrusters; and investigation of the efficiency and optimization of segmented projectiles. The book includes comprehensive overviews on basic classes of problems in high-speed penetration mechanics.

This monograph is a reliable and indispensable reference guide for scientists, engineers, and students specializing in the field of high-speed and hypervelocity penetration mechanics.

Readership: This monograph is a reliable and indispensable reference guide for scientists, engineers, and students specializing in the field of high-speed and hypervelocity penetration mechanics. It will also be useful to experts including theoreticians, design engineers and experimentalists.
