Szuladzinski G. Formulas for Mechanical and Structural Shock and Impact

CRC Press LLC, 2010. — 790 p.This book is essentially a collection of formulas describing dynamic responses to shock loads. The presentation is inspired by Roark’s classic Formulas for Stress and Strain, which presents equations and explanatory sketches in a compact manner. The theoretical basis is presented in a concise, although somewhat superficial manner, as appropriate for a reference work rather than a text intended to teach the subject. Still, this book is a reasonably self-contained tool. Although it is written for engineers in general, experienced dynamicists may also find some new ideas and approaches.
