Impact mechanics is concerned with the reaction forces that develop during a collision and the dynamic response of structures to these reaction forces. The subject has a wide range of engineering applications, from designing sports equipment to improving the crashworthiness of automobiles. This book develops several different methodologies for analysing collisions between structures. These range from rigid body theory for structures that are stiff and compact, to vibration and wave analyses for flexible structures. The emphasis is on low-speed impact where damage is local to the small region of contact between the colliding bodies. The analytical methods presented give results that are more robust or less sensitive to initial conditions than have been achieved hitherto. As a text, Impact Mechanics builds upon foundation courses in dynamics and strength of materials. It includes numerous industrially relevant examples and end-of-chapter homework problems drawn from industry and sports. Practising engineers will also find the methods presented in this book useful in calculating the response of a mechanical system to impact.
Review:
'A delightful book, it is clear and beautifully prepared in a stimulating manner, which will encourage frequent reference and further reading in the several references provided. Practising engineers will also find the methods presented in this book very useful in calculating the response of mechanical systems to impact.' Current Engineering Practice
'... the book is unsurpassed in the masterly cogent treatment of intricate problems. We may paraphrase the words of the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca, when we predict that a considerable period will elapse before a book of comparable excellence will be published on impact theory.' Piero Villaggio, Zentralblatt für Mathematik

This great book has been revised, in line with the latest Australian codes. For more details continue reading below.
If anyone has a copy, please share:
Design of Portal Frame Buildings, 4th Edition S. T. Woolcock, S. Kitipornchai, M. A. Bradford, G. A. Haddad
This book presents limit states design procedures for the design of portal frame buildings based on Australian standards.
Portal framed steel clad structures are the most common type of industrial buildings.
They find extensive use as industrial factory and warehouse structures, and as indoor sporting venues.
The major components of a portal frame building are a series of parallel portal shaped frames as the major framing elements.
Each frame is rigid, and resists horizontal wind forces and gravity loads in the plane of the frame by flexural action.
The new 4th edition has been almost completely rewritten to account for changes in the loading codes particularly the new wind code, the availability of new purlin and girt sections and ASI’s publication of new connection manuals.
New design capacity tables for horizontal SHS struts up to 400x16 Grade 450 SHS are included and design capacity tables for crane runway beams and monorails have been updated and expanded.
The information and design guidance on monorail cranes has been significantly expanded and design examples added.
A method of dealing with elongated local pressure patches is presented including patches with the new local pressure factor of 3.0.
There has also been the opportunity to correct previous errors and to generally refine and update the previous edition.
The book should prove of great assistance to practising engineers as well as students.
Discusses the boundary element method applied to three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity and includes examples to show the versatility of BEM. Beginning with a fundamental theory of elastostatics, this title covers approaches such as the dual reciprocity method and numerical integration.

1.1.About the Product
CALCULUS I WITH PRECALCULUS, developed for one-year courses, is ideal for instructors who wish to successfully bring students up to speed algebraically within precalculus and transition them into calculus. The Larson Calculus program has a long history of innovation in the calculus market. It has been widely praised by a generation of students and professors for its solid and effective pedagogy that addresses the needs of a broad range of teaching and learning styles and environments. Each title is just one component in a comprehensive calculus course program that carefully integrates and coordinates print, media, and technology products for successful teaching and learning. Two primary objectives guided the authors in writing this book: to develop precise, readable materials for students that clearly define and demonstrate concepts and rules of calculus and to design comprehensive teaching resources for instructors that employ proven pedagogical techniques and saves the instructor time.
1.2.Features
The explanations, theorems, and definitions have been thoroughly and critically reviewed. Exercise sets have been carefully and extensively examined to ensure they cover calculus and precalculus topics appropriately.
Questions involving skills, writing, critical thinking, problem-solving, applications, and real-data applications are included throughout the text. Exercises are presented in a variety of question formats, including matching, free response, true/false, modeling, and fill-in the blank.
To address the changing needs of today's instructors and students and recognizing that the calculus course is presented in a variety of teaching and learning environments, the program resources are available in print and online formats.

The combined finite discrete element method is a relatively new computational tool aimed at problems involving static and / or dynamic behaviour of systems involving a large number of solid deformable bodies. Such problems include fragmentation using explosives (e.g rock blasting), impacts, demolition (collapsing buildings), blast loads, digging and loading processes, and powder technology.
The combined finite-discrete element method - a natural extension of both discrete and finite element methods - allows researchers to model problems involving the deformability of either one solid body, a large number of bodies, or a solid body which fragments (e.g. in rock blasting applications a more or less intact rock mass is transformed into a pile of solid rock fragments of different sizes, which interact with each other). The topic is gaining in importance, and is at the forefront of some of the current efforts in computational modeling of the failure of solids.
* Accompanying source codes plus input and output files available on the Internet
* Important applications such as mining engineering, rock blasting and petroleum engineering
* Includes practical examples of applications areas
Essential reading for postgraduates, researchers and software engineers working in civil and mechanical engineering.

Engineers have to predict the behaviour of various materials when they are loaded by mechanical forces. Geotechnical engineers are no different to other engineers in this respect : they have to predict the behaviour of soil whereas other engineers deal with steel, concrete, wood, plastics or fluids. In describing the behaviour of materials, engineers use a number of conceptual 'models' which are simplifications of real behaviour. Examples of these models include linear elastic solids, perfectly plastic solids and viscous fluids. If we compare the behaviour of each engineering material with the appropriate conceptual model, then we will always find some differences in detail. However, the important point is that the conceptual model is often sufficiently accurate for the purposes of engineering analysis and design. Associated with each of the examples listed above there is a collection of standard solutions to commonly occurring problems to which the engineer can refer (i.e. the theories of elasticity, plasticity and fluid mechanics) .
Soil behaviour conforms less to the models of material behaviour that we have mentioned so far than do most engineering materials. This is because soil is a two-phase material consisting of solid particles and wa ter. Its response to being loaded is inheren tly more complex than the response of steel or concrete, for example. Another complicating factor arises because the distribution of soil properties in a typical deposit (such as stiffness and strength) is non-uniform. In particular, soil properties always vary with the depth below the ground surface and this will usually have to be taken into account in engineering design.
