This book focuses on the impact dynamics and cratering of soft
matter to describe its importance, difficulty, and wide
applicability to planetary-related problems. A comprehensive
introduction to the dimensional analysis and constitutive laws that
are necessary to discuss impact mechanics and cratering is first
provided. Then, particular coverage is given to the impact of
granular matter, which is one of the most crucial constituents for
geophysics. While granular matter shows both solid-like and
fluid-like behaviors, neither solid nor fluid dynamics is
sufficient to fully understand the physics of granular matter. In
order to reveal its fundamental properties, extensive impact tests
have been carried out recently. The author reveals the findings of
these recent studies as well as what remains unsolved in terms of
impact dynamics. Impact crater morphology with various soft matter
impacts also is discussed intensively. Various experimental and
observational results up to the recent Itokawa asteroid's terrain
and nanocrater are reviewed and explained mainly by dimensional
analysis. The author discusses perspectives of the relation between
soft matter physics and planetary science, because it is an
important step towards unifying physics and planetary science, in
both of which fields crater morphology has been studied
independently.
