Koji Uenishi
English

Dynamics of Waves and Fracture in Brittle Solid Materials provides readers with a thorough understanding of the fundamental analytical, experimental, and numerical aspects of waves and dynamic fracture while also exploring the crucial relationship between dynamic fracture and wave motion. Beginning with the basic elastodynamics of waves and mechanics of fracture, the book later advances to discussion of fracture-induced waves and wave-induced fracture including practical case studies of previous seismic disasters and instances of unexpected fracture due to dynamic impact. Clear descriptions of complex dynamic phenomena involving the interaction of elastic waves and fracture in brittle solids is included throughout, as are mathematical equations needed for evaluating the effects of wave motion on fracture development and catastrophic structural and material failures.
