Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design de Paul J. Hazell

Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design

Autor Paul J. Hazell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iul 2015

Highlights Recent Advances in Materials/Armour Technology

As long as conflict exists in the world, protection technologies will always be in demand. Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design describes the existing and emerging protection technologies that are currently driving the latest advances in armour systems. This book explains the theory, applications, and material science aspects of modern armour design as they are used in relation to vehicles, ships, personnel, and buildings, and explores the science and technology used to provide protection against blasts and ballistic attacks. It covers materials technologies used in protection; addresses the system effects of adding blast-wave shaping to vehicles, as well as the effect on the human body; and outlines ballistic testing techniques.

"

Takes a Look at How Armour Works"

The book discusses ceramics for armour applications; transparent armour; and metals for armour applications (including aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys and steels); as well as composite armour systems; explosive reactive armour systems with reference to defensive aid suites for vehicles; and wound ballistics. In addition, the author lists more than 100 references for advanced study and further reading."

Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design introduces a variety of armour technologies, outlines modern threats and dangers applicable to protection technology, and aids readers in implementing protective structures that can be used in battle, conflict, military zones, and other related environments.

Notă biografică

Paul J. Hazell is a professor of impact dynamics at UNSW Canberra. His main research interests are in the subjects of shock loading, penetration mechanics and lightweight armour optimization. He also teaches several courses related to terminal ballistics and armour design to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.
Paul graduated from the University of Leeds in 1992 with a BEng (Hons) degree in mechanical engineering, and after a couple of years in the automotive industry, he pursued his doctoral studies at the Shrivenham campus of Cranfield University (at the Royal Military College of Science). He was subsequently taken onto the faculty to teach terminal ballistics – to a student cohort that mostly consisted of British Army Officers. He has been in the business of teaching the uniformed services ever since.

Recenzii

  The first edition of this book is always within easy reach in my office, as it is a trusted and reliable reference text for my teaching and research. As a world leading expert, Paul Hazell delivers a second edition that expands on the key concepts which adds to its readability which I am sure students will appreciate, and the new chapter on computational modelling is a welcome addition which rounds off what is a superb book. This book should be a standard reference text for anyone interested in impact dynamics, terminal ballistics, armour systems design, and protection technologies.
Professor Mark Stewart, University of Technology Sydney

This work is a one-stop, up-to-date resource for everything one needs to know to design, select, utilize and test an armour, and it is truly a treasure trove of details and data that greatly enrich[es]… understanding of these extremely challenging, advanced engineered systems. I am not familiar with any competing book that provides the same level of detailed and comprehensive information on the subject, and it is therefore very highly recommended.
Professor Paolo Colombo, Universita di Padova
Paul Hazell’s second journey into the complex world of armour is a well-received addition to his already comprehensive first edition, a must for all engineers at any stage of their career, myself included! The welcome addition of the computational methods chapter ensures this book stays at the forefront of armour design resources. His expertise, passion, and wealth of knowledge is reflected in these pages, with an ease of reading only a teacher who understands both the topic and the students studying it could achieve. I have recommended the first edition to my own students and will enthusiastically continue to do so with the release of the second edition.
Professor Tuan Ngo, University of Melbourne
