Impact Dynamics: A Numerical Approach enables safer aerospace and mechanical designs by providing state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies for impact simulation and crashworthiness analysis of critical structural components. It investigates the shock type of dynamic loading situations as a part of mechanical design discussions.

Classical approaches to impact problems rely on purely empirical methods that correlate large amounts of experimental data; this approach, while useful for specific problems, often fails when extrapolating to design conditions outside the tested velocity ranges. In contrast, this book focuses on numerical simulations using current models to explain the underlying physics and demonstrate how this physics-based approach provides better insight into impact events and enables successful extrapolation of test data into new design spaces for handling complex industrial problems.

This book will be useful to aviation safety professionals, researchers, and practicing aerospace and mechanical design engineers.
