This book is a complete reference to the use of shear thickening fluid (STF) in protective applications. It discusses the adaptive behavior of STF in various systems and how it is used effectively in a wide range of protective applications from low-velocity to high-velocity conditions. Covered applications include STF-based energy absorbing systems, anti-impact structures, deceleration devices, shock attenuation composites, and body armor applications. Shear Thickening Fluid in Protective Applications will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, researchers, and scientists working in advanced materials, protective applications, and smart structures.
Introduction.- STF impregnated textile composites under stab conditions.- Shock absorbing STF systems.- Energy absorbing pads with STF integration.- Deceleration performance in STF embedded sandwich structures.- Design of STF structures for crashworthiness applications.- STF-based flexible body armor applications.- Spall liners with STF for vehicle protection.
