Meyers M.A. Dynamic Behavior of Materials

John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1994, 668 Pages
Addresses fundamentals and advanced topics relevant to the behavior of materials under in-service conditions such as impact, shock, stress and high-strain rate deformations. Deals extensively with materials from a microstructure perspective which is the future direction of research today.
