Dynamic Behavior of Materials

Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Oct 28, 1994 - Science - 688 pages
Addresses fundamentals and advanced topics relevant to the behavior of materials under in-service conditions such as impact, shock, stress and high-strain rate deformations. Deals extensively with materials from a microstructure perspective which is the future direction of research today.
