 PREFACE

This book is a much improved version of a set of notes developed for

a one-week course taught at the International Center for Mechanical
Sciences (CISM) in Udine, Italy, July 21-25, 2005. The support and
encouragement of the CISM staff and its Rector, Professor Giulio
Maier are gratefully acknowledged for providing the opportunity to
bring together different aspects of the problem of impact on composite
structures. The opportunity to work with experts in different areas
from different countries and to teach a very diverse group of students
was also very much appreciated.
As the course coordinator, I want to express my thanks to the
colleagues who participated in this long term venture: Professor Gio-
vanni Belingardi from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy; Professor
Wesley Cantwell from the University of Liverpool, England; Professor
Uday Vaidya, University of Alabama-Birmingham, USA, and Profes-
sor Ramon Zaera from the University Carlos III, Madrid, Spain. It
is also a pleasure to acknowledge the contributions of Professor Jorge
Ambrosio from the University of Lisbon, Portugal who taught a por-
tion of the course in Udine.
The book is intended for beginning graduate students and practi-
tioners in industry who need an introduction with a strong technical
background to this subject, one that enables them to pursue their own
research or design activities and to pursue further studies on their
own. We have attempted to present a broad range of topics. The two
common threads throughout the book are that it deals with structures
made of composite materials and that those structures are subjected
to impacts. The structures can be part of aircrafts, motor vehicles,
or armored military vehicles, for example. The impacts can be tool
drops, ballistic projectiles or vehicle crashes. The book examines ways
to model the impact event, to determine the size and severity of the
damage and discusses general trends observed during experiments.
