Response of Metals and Metallic Structures to Dynamic Loading

Abstract

Dynamic response of metals and metallic structures is reviewed with respect to current procedures and understanding in order to identify research needs. Emphasis is placed on response in military environments which involve very high loading rates, such as those due to air blasts and underwater explosions. Included in this review is discussion of basic inelastic deformation mechanisms, mechanical properties, fracture analysis and testing, structural analysis (including consideration of buckling response) and scale modeling.
