Book excerpt: Failure in ductile material using finite element methods; modelling the process of failure in structures; criteria for the inelastic rupture of ductile metal beams subjected to large dynamic loads; strain localisation and fracture in metal sheets and thin walled structures; impact on metal tubes; indentation and perforation; composite strength and energy adsorption as an aspect of structural crash resistance; crash response of composite structures; dynamic compression of cellular structures and materials; elastic effects in the dynamic plastic response of structure; impact performance of aluminium structures, motorway impact attenuation devices: past, present and future; and grounding damage of ships.
