Contents History of high strain rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) application -- Phase separated microstructure and structure-property relationships of high strain rate elastomeric polyureas -- Testing, experiments and properties of HSREP -- Constitutive modeling of high strain-rate elastomeric polymers -- Molecular dynamics (MD) and coarse grain simulation of high strain-rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) -- Computational simulation, multi scale computations, and issues related to behavioral aspects of HSREP -- Properties of hard and soft viscoelastic polymers under blast wave loading -- Modeling and simulations, applications in ballistic and blast -- Modification and engineering of HSREP to achieve unique properties -- The interaction of high strain-rate elastomeric polymer coating with the substrate material and mechanisms of failure.
Summary "Recent investigations into blast-resistant properties of polyureas and other multi-phase polymeric elastomers indicate that they can dissipate broad bands of frequencies such as those encountered in blast events. In this unique book, Elastomeric Polymers with High Rate Sensitivity, Dr. Roshdy Barsoum and expert contributors bring together the cutting-edge testing methodologies, material properties, and critical design data for engineers seeking to deploy this technology. Where conventional methods of resisting blast, shockwave, and penetration are expensive, time-consuming and impractical, high-strain rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) can be cheaper, quicker, and more easily applied to new and old materials alike. This book aids both military and civilian engineers in a range of applications, from buildings and tunnels to lightweight armor, ships, and aircraft. The book features constitutive models for software developers designing with these advanced polymers, as well as a discussion of the mechanisms of interaction between high-strain rate polymers and other materials. It also thoroughly covers HSREP engineering methods to achieve other unique properties, such as fireproofing."--Publisher's description.
