Shock Compression and Chemical Reaction of Multifunctional Energetic Structural Materials provides an exhaustive overview of the mechanics, kinetics and physio-chemical behavior caused by shock-induced reaction and shock compression on multifunctional energetic structural materials (MESMs). The book covers foundational knowledge on shock waves and Equation of State (EOS), shock parameters, reaction kinetics, impedance matching, and more. In addition, it looks at more advanced subjects such as experimental analysis methods, numerical modeling techniques (from quasi-static to high-strain rates, including void collapse models), how EOS changes when reaction and detonation are involved, and more.

Final chapters cover how to obtain EOS curves from experiments and various testing methods and numerical models for non-reactive porous solids and particulate composites, including 1-D reactive flow models. Flyer plate impact experiments are also discussed, as are the applications of hydrocodes and Lagrangian-framework-based methods.

Provides an ideal balance of modeling concepts and experimental techniques Looks at mechanical testing processes of MESMs Outlines sample preparation, testing of samples, obtaining EOS from the testing, and using EOS for simulation Covers modeling for pore collapse, constituent material, and at a granular level

Impact Mechanics of Ceramic Armor: Dwell and Interface Defeat provides a thorough overview of the impact dynamics of projectiles and targets, crack propagation, and damage evolution of ceramic armor during interface defeat and penetration. The book provides experimental techniques and results of ceramic armor subjected to projectile damage, covers the mechanics of damage of ceramic armor under impact load, and analyzes the failure processes alongside corresponding theoretical models. Constitutive models and material parameters between projectile and target are explained, techniques for optimum ceramic armor design are outlined, and applications of interface defeat in the field of light armor are provided.
