Davies, G A.O.

This volume contains the keynote addresses of those speakers invited to the International Confernece on Structural Impact and Crashworthiness held at Imperial College, London, in 1984. The speakers represent authoritative views on topics covering the spectrum of impact and crashworthiness involving several materials. The theme of this book may be summarized as 'understanding/modelling/prediction.' Ultimately a crashworthy design depends on many conceptual decisions being correct in the initial design phase. The overall configuration of a structure may be paramount; the detail design of joints and so on has to enable the structure to exploit energy absorption; the fail-safe features must not be prohibitively expensive.
