The primary objective of this work is to give the reader an understanding ofstress wave behaviour while taking into account the dynamic constitutiveequations of elasticplastic solids. The author has combined a materialscharacteristics approach with a singularity surface approach in this workwhich readers will find to be a novel and unique route to solving theirproblems. Helps engineers understand the effects and behavior of stress waves invarious materials Aids in the process of engineering design testing andevaluation «
