A systematic and complete coverage suitable as an advanced text for graduate students and practicing engineers * Considers both the dynamic behavior of materials and stress waves, and the dynamic structural response and energy absorption, emphasizing the interaction between material behavior and the structural response * Provides a comprehensive description of the phenomenon of impact of structures, containing both fundamental issues of wave propagation and constitutive relation of materials, and the dynamic response of structures under impact loads * Based on the research and teaching experience of both authors covering the most important issues of impact dynamics (stress waves, material properties and energy absorption) and updated developments in the field
