Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1

Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1: Proceedings of the 2013 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the first volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers on: General Dynamic Material PropertiesNovel Dynamic Testing TechniquesDynamic Fracture and FailureNovel Testing TechniquesDynamic Behavior of Geo-materialsDynamic Behavior of Biological and Biomimetic MaterialsDynamic Behavior of Composites and Multifunctional MaterialsDynamic Behavior of Low-Impedance materialsMulti-scale Modeling of Dynamic Behavior of MaterialsQuantitative Visualization of Dynamic Behavior of MaterialsShock/Blast Loading of Materials
