Jones, N; Wierzbicki, T

Behind the quest for safety in all forms of transport lies a complex technology of which structural crashworthiness forms an important part. This volume contains the work of over twenty experts whose interests range from the fundamental principles of structural collapse to the application of those principles to the design of ships, aircraft, road vehicles, and rail vehicles. The text focuses on the application of analytical and experimental techniques to predict energy dissipation characteristics of thin-walled structures and structural members under quasi-static and dynamic loadings.
