The present book Impact Mechanics provides an excellent theoretical foundation for engineering students and industrialists dealing with impact problems. This is the second edition of the book, which mainly focuses on non-penetrating collisions. In the first chapter, collisions are categorised into four groups based on the method of analysis, including particle impact, rigid-body impact and transverse and axial impacts on flexible bodies. The assumptions behind each method of analysis and the applicability of each method in...
