Structural Crashworthiness and Failure - Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Structural Crashworthiness held at the University of Liverpool, England, 14-16 April 1993 (Hardcover)

This book contains 12 chapters which were presented as invited lectures at the Third International Symposium on Structural Crashworthiness held at the University of Liverpool, England, 14-16 April, 1993. This symposium was a logical continuation and extension of two previous Symposia held in 1983 and 1988, organized in order to examine recent developments in structural crashworthiness and failure. Particular emphasis has been given in this book to the failure predictions for ductile metal structures under large dynamic loads and to the behaviour of composite and cellular structures. Thus, it is likely that the field of structural crashworthiness and failure will continue to grow in importance. It is also evident from this book that much has already been achieved, but areas are highlighted in which further understanding of the basic mechanics is still required as well as the generation of design methods and design data. Chapters one to four focus on the failure of ductile metal structures, and chapter five examines a related topic on the perforation of metal tubes. Chapter six to eight examine the behaviour of non-metal structures subjected to various large dynamic loads. Chapter ni
