    Description

    Emphasising non-penetrating collisions, the second edition of Impact Mechanics develops several different methodologies for analysing collisions between structures - from rigid body theory for structures that are stiff and compact, to vibration and wave analyses for flexible structures. A valuable reference for both professionals and advanced undergraduate and graduate students, the book builds upon foundation courses in dynamics and strength of materials. Worked examples and end-of-chapter homework problems are drawn both from industry and sports such as golf, baseball, soccer and billiards. New chapters present a generalised theory of multi-body impact, as well as analyses of visco-elastic and visco-plastic impact. Effects of local compliance on impact dynamics are more generally described, and additional examples illustrating effects of friction during impact between bodies in either collinear or eccentric configurations are included.

    • Provides a clear description of the conditions where different analytical models are required
    • Offers new examples and end-of-chapter problem sets to illustrate analyses
    • Presents analytical methods for calculating response to impact of rigid bodies (with friction), deformable structures, multi-body systems and impact propagation in self-organising systems

    Reviews & endorsements

    '… this is an excellent reference book for graduate-level students and professionals interested in non-colliding impacts. The rich theoretical content of this book alongside recent advances in experimental and numerical methods can provide engineers in particular with necessary knowledge and tools to design more effectively for complex impact problems.' Iman Mohagheghian, The Aeronautical Journal

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics
    Journal of Fluid Mechanics

    : Journal

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics is the leading international journal in the field and is essential reading for all those concerned with developments in fluid mechanics. It publishes authoritative articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.The journal was founded in 1956 by George Batchelor, who was also its Editor until 1996 (with Keith Moffatt as co-Editor from 1966 to 1983). Since then the Editors have been David Crighton, Tim Pedley and Steve Davis. The current Editor is Grae Worster, assisted by Deputy Editors Paul Linden and Charles Meneveau. They are part of a team of Associate Editors who handle submissions autonomously. JFM does not impose page charges for regular publication. Optional inclusion of colour figures in the print edition is charged at a rate of £200 per figure. Accepted papers may be published under an open access license in exchange for an article processing charge of £1695/$2700.

    The ANZIAM Journal considers papers in any field of applied mathematics and related mathematical sciences with the aim of rapid publication in print and electronic formats. Novel applications of mathematics in real situations are especially welcomed. All papers should include some indication of applicability, and an introduction that can be understood by non-specialist readers from the whole applied mathematical community.

    About the authors
      Author
    • W. J. Stronge , University of Cambridge

      W. J. Stronge (Ph.D. Stanford Applied Mechanics) joined Cambridge University in 1981 and currently is Professor Emeritus of Applied Mechanics in the Department of Engineering at thw University of Cambridge and an Adjutant Professor of Engineering at the University of California, Davis. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics. Professor Stronge is the author of two books: Structural Models for Dynamic Plasticity (1993) and Impact Mechanics (Cambridge, 2000). Professor Stronge's specialty is mechanics of solids. He performs and supervises both theoretical and experimental research on impact response of plastically deforming solids directed towards applications in design of light, crashworthy structures and energy absorbing collision barriers. Aspects of this research are the dynamics of solids with cellular microstructure and propagation of phase transformations in reactive media. Some applications are related to mechanics of sports; in particular how design of sports equipment affects performance.
