Preface for Previous Title: Impact

and Explosion – Analysis and Design

The dynamics of impact and explosion are an important consideration in

the design of conventional structures in general, and sensitive and unconventional

structures in particular. Accidents causing damage and explosion are

a matter of growing concern in many areas such as nuclear, chemical, civil,

mechanical, electrical, offshore, gas, aeronautical and naval engineering. This

book provides, in Chap. 1, a comprehensive, illustrated survey of accidents

and explosions, including those caused by aircraft, missiles, bombs, detonators,

sea-going vessels, cars, lorries, trains, etc. Gas and nuclear explosions are

also covered.
