Structural Impact

Structural Impact addresses the behavior of structures and components subjected to large dynamic loads that produce inelastic deformations. This field particularly interests those concerned with the crashworthiness design of aircraft, buses, cars, trains, ships and marine structures, and the energy-absorbing characteristics of various components for a wide range of safety calculations. The initial five chapters introduce the rigid plastic methods of analysis of the static behavior and the dynamic response of beams, plates and shells. These chapters develop the key features of the subject from an engineering viewpoint, and are followed by several chapters on various phenomena of importance in structural impact. The influence of transverse shear, rotatory inertia, finite-displacements and material strain rate sensitivity are introduced and studied in detail. Dynamic progressive buckling, which develops in several energy absorbing systems, is introduced in the penultimate chapter. Finally, the scaling laws are examined since they are important for relating the response of small-scale experimental tests to the behavior of full-scale prototypes. The author, who has gained extensive experience in the impact field and has published over 120 publications in the past twenty years, presents the material in an appealingly simple, yet rigorous manner. This book is for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in engineering, and design engineers.

Structural Impact is concerned with the behaviour of structures and components subjected to large dynamic, impact and explosive loads which produce inelastic deformations and is of interest for safety calculations, hazard assessments and energy absorbing systems throughout industry. The first five chapters of this book introduce the rigid plastic methods of analysis for the static behaviour and the dynamic response of beams, plates and shells. These chapters develop the key features of the subject from an engineering viewpoint, and are followed by several chapters on various phenomena of importance to structural impact. The influence of transverse shear, rotatory inertia, finite displacements and dynamic material properties are introduced and studied in some detail. Dynamic progressive buckling, which develops in several energy absorbing systems, is then examined, while the phenomenon of dynamic plastic buckling is introduced in the penultimate chapter. The last chapter on the scaling laws is important for relating the response of small-scale experimental tests to the dynamic behaviour of full-scale prototypes. This text is invaluable to undergraduates, graduates, and professionals who want to learn more about the behaviour of structures subjected to large impact, dynamic and blast loadings producing an inelastic response.

Being Elizabethan: Understanding Shakespeare's Neighbors

Captures the worldviews, concerns, joys, and experiences of people living through the cultural changes in the second half of the sixteenth century and the early seventeenth century, Shakespeare’s age. Elizabethans lived through a time of cultural collapse and rejuvenation as the impacts of globalization, the religious Reformation, economic and scientific revolutions, wars, and religious dissent forced them to reformulate their ideas of God, nation, society and self. This well-written, accessible book depicting how Elizabethans perceived reality and acted on their perceptions illustrates Elizabethan life, offering readers well-told stories about the Elizabethan people and the world around them. It defines the older ideas of pre-Elizabethan culture and shows how they were shattered and replaced by a new culture based on the emergence of individual conscience. The book posits that post-Reformation English culture, emphasizing the internalization of religious certainties, embraced skepticism in ways that valued individualism over older communal values. Being Elizabethan portrays how people’s lives were shaped and changed by the tension between a received belief in divine stability and new, destabilizing, ideas about physical and metaphysical truth. It begins with a chapter that examines how idealized virtues in a divinely governed universe were encapsulated in funeral sermons and epitaphs, exploring how they perceived the Divine Order. Other chapters discuss Elizabethan social stations, community, economics, self-expression, and more. <ul>
<li>Illustrates how early modern culture was born by exposing readers to events, artistic expressions, and personal experiences</li> <li>Provides an understanding of Elizabethan people by summarizing momentous events with which they grew up</li> <li>Appeals to students, scholars, and laymen interested in history and literature of the Elizabethan era</li> <li>Shows how a new cultural era, the age of Shakespeare, grew from collapsing late Medieval worldviews.</li> </ul>
Being Elizabethan is a captivating read for anyone interested in early modern English culture and society. It is an excellent source of information for those studying Tudor and early Stuart history and/or literature.

It has been said, "There are two seasons in Indiana. They are basketball season and...gettin' ready for basketball season." Growing Up in Indiana: The Culture &amp; Hoosier Hysteria Revisited, is about basketball in Indiana in the middle of the 20th century. It is a look back at what the culture was like at that time. The author writes about the trials and tribulations he encountered as a young boy trying to become an accomplished player at Marion (IN) High School. Marion has won seven state basketball championships. Only Muncie Central High School in Muncie, Indiana has won more with eight. Muncie Central helped inspire the movie Hoosiers when it lost to tiny Milan in the 1954 Indiana state final game. The author was a spectator at that fabled game. Growing Up in Indiana is a compelling, heartwarming story about a player trying to earn a college basketball scholarship. Readers will discover how developments in high school, college and professional basketball helped Indiana to become "the basketball state." Discrimination against African-Americans was at its zenith in the volatile era in which the author was growing up Indiana. He presents a vivid description of the bigotry, hatred and prejudice that affected his family, friends, teammates and famous players. The book describes how Hoosier Hysteria evolved and also explains to those who did not witness it, the racial strife
