This book presents a broad view of the current state of the art
regarding the dynamic response of composite and sandwich structures
subjected to impacts and explosions. Each chapter combines a
thorough assessment of the literature with original contributions
made by the authors. The first section deals with fluid-structure
interactions in marine structures. The first chapter focuses on
hull slamming and particularly cases in which the deformation of
the structure affects the motion of the fluid during the water
entry of flexible hulls. Chapter 2 presents an extensive series of
tests underwater and in the air to determine the effects of
explosions on composite and sandwich structures. Full-scale
structures were subjected to significant explosive charges, and
such results are extremely rare in the open literature. Chapter 3
describes a simple geometrical theory of diffraction for describing
the interaction of an underwater blast wave with submerged
structures. The second section addresses the problem of impact on
laminated composite structures with chapters devoted to ballistic
impacts on pre-stressed composite structures, tests developed to
simulate dynamic failure in marine structures, damage mechanisms
and energy absorption in low velocity impacts, perforation, the
numerical simulation of intra and inter-ply damage during impact,
and hail impact on laminated composites. Sandwich structures with
laminated facings are considered in Section 3 with chapters dealing
with the discrete modeling of honeycomb core during the indentation
of sandwich structures, the behavior of fold core sandwich
structures during impact, and impact on helicopter blades. The
fourth section consists of two chapters presenting experimental
results and numerical simulation of composite structures subjected
to crash. This volume is intended for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students, researchers, and engineers interested and
involved in analysis and design of composite structures.
