For a brief period during the latter part of World War II, Nevill
F. Mott led a theoretical group at Fort Halstead in the United
Kingdom that tackled scientific issues related to pressing war-time
concerns. Among later awards and honors, Mott was knighted and a
recipient of the Nobel Prize. While at Fort Halstead, he undertook
an effort to theoretically describe the statistical fragmentation
of munitions subjected to intense explosive loading. Mott`s
original internal reports contain seminal theoretical concepts on
the physics and statistics of dynamic fracture and fragmentation,
which have provided the inspiration for numerous later modeling
efforts and engineering formulae. Some of his most forward-looking
thoughts on the micromechanical and molecular aspects of fracture
are included in these publications. The present book surveys the
theoretical analysis put forth by Mott with particular focus on his
efforts to characterize the size and distribution of fragments
resulting from a dynamic fragmentation event. Copies of the
original internal reports of Mott and his co-workers are included.
The book also pursues additional theoretical analysis with the
intent of delving further into the physical ideas and unfinished
analysis implicit in Mott`s original studies. This book will be of
interest to all scientists and engineers concerned with the dynamic
fracture and fragmentation of solid bodies subject to intense
transient loads imparted by explosive detonation and high-velocity
impact from both the historical and modern perspective.
