High-speed impact dynamics is of interest in the fundamental
sciences, e.g., astrophysics and space sciences, and has a number
of important applications in military technologies, homeland
security and engineering. When compared with experiments or
numerical simulations, analytical approaches in impact mechanics
only seldom yield useful results. However, when successful,
analytical approaches allow us to determine general laws that are
not only important in themselves but also serve as benchmarks for
subsequent numerical simulations and experiments. The main goal of
this monograph is to demonstrate the potential and effectiveness of
analytical methods in applied high-speed penetration mechanics for
two classes of problem. The first class of problem is shape
optimization of impactors penetrating into ductile, concrete and
some composite media. The second class of problem comprises
investigation of ballistic properties and optimization of
multi-layered shields, including spaced and two-component ceramic
shields. Despite the massive use of mathematical techniques, the
obtained results have a clear engineering meaning and are presented
in an easy-to-use form. One of the chapters is devoted solely to
some common approximate models, and this is the first time that a
comprehensive description of the localized impactor/medium
interaction approach is given. In the monograph the authors present
systematically their theoretical results in the field of high-speed
impact dynamics obtained during the last decade which only
partially appeared in scientific journals and conferences
proceedings.
