Impact Dynamics

  • Chapter
Impact Engineering of Composite Structures

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 526))

Abstract

This chapter presents an introduction to the impact dynamics problem based on simple analytical models that are used by many investigators and that allow to investigate the effects of various factors. The insight gained through this exercise is helpful in the development of numerical models for more complicated geometries and support conditions.
