The Shock and Vibration Digest. Volume 12, Number 8,
Abstract
Digital computers are used almost exclusively for structural dynamics analysis and computational fluid dynamics. In fact, an entirely new field called computational physics has grown up which owes its existence to the high speed digital computer. The aerospace industry and the U.S. space program can be blamed for much of this rapid development. This article summarizes work on locally impacted composite material problems. The following topics are included: localized impact damage experiments of filament reinforced composite materials, the solution of wave propagation problems based on continuum mechanics models, and Hertzian contact approaches to impact problems. The monthly Literature Review, a subjective critique and summary of the literature, consists of two to four review articles each month, 3,000 to 4,000 words in length. The purpose of this section is to present a 'digest' of literature over a period of three years. Planned by the Technical Editor, this section provides the DIGEST reader with up-to-date insights into current technology in more than 150 topics areas. Review articles include technical information from articles, reports, and unpublished proceedings. Each article also contains a minor tutorial of the technical area under discussion, a survey and evaluation of the new literature, and recommendations. Review articles are written by experts in the shock and vibration field. This issue of the DIGEST contains an article equivalence techniques for vibration testing. Dr. H. S. Blanks of the School of Electrical Engineering, University of New South Wales, Australia, has written a paper on techniques relevant to the equivalence between vibration tests and service vibration experience.
