Book recommendation? Impact dynamics

Book recommendation? Impact dynamics

Book recommendation? Impact dynamics

(OP)
Looking for a good textbook on impact mechanics - ideally covering both ductile and brittle metals as well as polymer impact failure theories.  Bonus points if it covers a bit of impact failure with composite materials (carbon composite, fiberglass, etc.) as well!

Anybody have any good recommendations?

Cheers,
JB

RE: Book recommendation? Impact dynamics

Here is a previous thread of a similar topic.  Hopefully someone else can give more input.

Should mention - I'm not dealing with extremely high velocity ballistics or anything - I'm dealing with lower velocity impacts that, while slower, are certainly past the quasi-static range.

For example, baseball/bat impact, a hockey slapshot, a golf drive, a helmet-to-helmet football impact, etc.  More human-scale speeds.

RE: Book recommendation? Impact dynamics

Check out my recommendation of the Juvinall book in the other thread.  I also posted a couple of links that have similar formulae.

Here is another one.  Looks like most of it can be previewed on google books:
