Deformation and Destruction of Materials and Structures Under Quasi-static and Impulse Loading (en Inglés) - Holm Altenbach;Victor A. Eremeyev;Leonid A. Igumnov

This book presents the theoretical and experimental foundations of quasi-static deformation of elastoplastic and viscoplastic materials and structural elements made of them. Experimental studies of deformation and fracture of materials under complex loading under impulse influences are described and discussed. A short introduction of theoretical and numerical methods for studying the stress-strain state of elastoplastic structural elements under dynamic, impulse loading and their interaction with other media is given.
