DESCRIPTION:
"Recent investigations into
blast-resistant properties of polyureas and other multi-phase polymeric
elastomers indicate that they can dissipate broad bands of frequencies such as
those encountered in blast events. In this unique book, Elastomeric Polymers
with High Rate Sensitivity, Dr. Roshdy Barsoum and expert contributors bring
together the cutting-edge testing methodologies, material properties, and
critical design data for engineers seeking to deploy this technology.
Where conventional methods of
resisting blast, shockwave, and penetration are expensive, time-consuming and
impractical, high-strain rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) can be cheaper,
quicker, and more easily applied to new and old materials alike. This book aids
both military and civilian engineers in a range of applications, from buildings
and tunnels to lightweight armor, ships, and aircraft.
The book features constitutive models for software developers designing
with these advanced polymers, as well as a discussion of the mechanisms of
interaction between high-strain rate polymers and other materials. It also
thoroughly covers HSREP engineering methods to achieve other unique properties,
such as fireproofing."
