Predictive Modeling of Dynamic Processes A Tribute to Professor Klaus Thoma [Hardcover]

Predictive Modeling of Dynamic Processes provides an overview of hydrocode technology, applicable to a variety of industries and areas of engineering design. Covering automotive crash, blast impact, and hypervelocity impact phenomena, this volume offers readers an in-depth explanation of the fundamental code components. Chapters include informative introductions to each topic, and explain the specific requirements pertaining to each predictive hydrocode.

Successfully blending crash simulation, hydrocode technology and impact engineering, this volume fills a gap in the current competing literature available.
