Dynamics of Materials:Experiments, Models and Applications

寧波大學機械工程與力學學院王禮立、楊黎明、董新龍、姜錫權的著作《Dynamics of Materials: Experiments, Models and Applications》，2019 年由Elsevier 的Academic Press 出版社出版。

Dynamics of Materials explains the process of dynamic flow and final failure of materials, from the foundational theory through to experimental methods, models, and applications.

?Covers models for applications as well as the fundamentals of the mechanisms behind the models

?Tackles the difficult interdisciplinary nature of the subject, combining macroscopic continuum mechanics with thermodynamics, and macro-mechanics expression with micro-physical mechanisms

?Provides a review of the latest experimental methods for solids under high pressure, and the distortional law of materials

Material Dynamics is an interdisciplinary branch of research addressing the basic laws of high velocity flow/deformation and dynamic failure of materials under dynamic loading.

This book comprehensively addresses its topic in three sections. The first discusses different perspectives on the volumetric law, including its macro-thermodynamic basis, solid physics basis and the related dynamic experimental study. The second covers the distortional law, including the rate-dependent macro-distortional law reflecting strain-rate effect, its micro-mechanism based on dislocation dynamics, and the dynamic experimental research based on the stress wave theory. In the final part, dynamic failure in relation to dynamic damage evolution is discussed, including the unloading failure of a crack-free body, dynamic fragmentation due to dynamic growth of multi-cracks, and the dynamic evolution of meso-damage.

Dynamics of Materials provides a theoretical basis of material dynamics for researchers and postgraduate students in engineering and materials science, while also offering models and examples of applications of these theories which are of great value to R&D departments in industry.
