About the Book

The shock and impact behaviour of structures presents challenges to researchers, not only because of its obvious time-dependent aspects, but also because of the difficulties in specifying the external dynamic loading characteristics and in obtaining the full dynamic properties of materials. Thus it is important to recognise and fully utilise the contributions and understanding emerging from the theoretical, numerical and experimental studies, as well as investigations into material properties under dynamic loading conditions. Of interest to engineers from civil, military, nuclear, offshore, aeronautical, transportation and other backgrounds, the topics covered include: Impact and Blast Loading Characteristics; Protection of Structures from Blast Loads; Energy Absorbing Issues; Structural Crashworthiness; Hazard Mitigation and Assessment; Behaviour of Steel Structures; Behaviour of Structural Concrete; Material Response to High Rate Loading; Seismic Engineering Applications; Interaction Between Computational and Experimental Results; Innovative Materials and Material Systems; Fluid Structure Interaction.

Table of Contents:
Contents Section 1: Energy absorbing issues Composite crash absorber for aircraft fuselage applications; An experimental comparison of half-scale rockfall protection sandwich structures; Damage simulation for the disaster merit of light substances Section 2: Hazard mitigation and assessment Comparative analysis of bus rollover protection under existing standards; Damage detection of strengthened RC frame model with FRP sheets under lateral loads Section 3: Impact and blast loading characteristics Impact loading of ductile rectangular plates; Numerical determination of reflected blast pressure distribution on round columns; Simplified evaluation of a building impacted by a terrorist explosion; A comparison of hydrodynamic and analytic predicted blast pressure profiles; Transient response of a laminated sandwich plate with viscoelastic core subjected to air blast: theory and experiment; Laboratory scale tests for internal blast loading; An arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) based numerical method for the computation of gas-particle two phase flow Section 4: Interaction between computational and experimental results Theory and calibration of JWL and JWLB thermodynamic equations of state; A study on the comparison of dynamic behaviour of high speed railway bridges Section 5: Protection of structures from blast loads Modelling the response of UHPFRC panels to explosive loading; Structural retrofit of glazing systems with polymer materials for blast resistance; Comparison of traditional and Herculite(R) XP glazing subject to blast loads; Shock tube experiments and Fe-simulation of the structural and material non-linear transient response of plates subjected to blast loading Section 6: Structural crashworthiness Finite element modelling of cable median barriers under vehicular impacts; Real size experiments of a car crash against a building column Section 7: Seismic behaviour Simulating seismically isolated buildings under earthquake-induced pounding incidences; Dynamic fluid-structure-soil interaction: applications in earthquake engineering; Advanced analysis of a space structure retrofit for an ash-tank; Nonlinear seismic behaviour of experimentally identified stiffness and damping characteristics of cold formed steel infill frames; Comparison of seismic performance of strengthened historical masonry buildings under different structural designs Section 8: Behaviour of structures Scaling of the modal response of a simply-supported rectangular plate; Dynamic behaviour of a steel plate girder railroad bridge with rail joints; Numerical simulations on adiabatic shear behaviour of 921A steel pure shear hat-shaped specimens
