Beschreibung

Updated throughout for the new edition, Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design covers extant and emergent protection technologies driving advances in armour systems. Covering materials, theory and design, the book has applications in vehicle, ship, personnel and building use.

Introducing a wide range of armour technologies, the book is a key guide to the technology used to protect against both blasts and ballistic attacks. Chapters cover bullets, blasts, jets and fragments, as well as penetration mechanics. The new edition builds on the previous one, discussing ceramics and metallic materials as well as woven fabrics and composite laminates. Detailing modern technology advancements, the second edition has also been expanded to include improved explanations on shock mechanisms and includes significantly more figures and diagrams.

An essential guide to armour technology, this book outlines key ways to implement protective strategies applicable for many types of conflict.

Zusammenfassung

Paul J. Hazell is a professor of impact dynamics at UNSW Canberra. His main research interests are in the subjects of shock loading, penetration mechanics and lightweight armour optimization. He also teaches several courses related to terminal ballistics and armour design to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.

Paul graduated from the University of Leeds in 1992 with a BEng (Hons) degree in mechanical engineering, and after a couple of years in the automotive industry, he pursued his doctoral studies at the Shrivenham campus of Cranfield University (at the Royal Military College of Science). He was subsequently taken onto the faculty to teach terminal ballistics - to a student cohort that mostly consisted of British Army Officers. He has been in the business of teaching the uniformed services ever since.
