DEStech Publications, Inc. announces the publication of Ballistics 2011; edited by Ernest Baker and Douglas Templeton.
The 26th International Symposium on Ballistics books contain 231 original research papers on all phases of ballistics, including how a variety of projectiles are launched, their explosive dynamics, and their impact and penetration effects on a wide range of engineered and natural materials. A separate section is devoted to analysis of personnel vulnerability from numerous types of projectiles and explosives.
With its empirical data, physical theory and modeling techniques, the information in these books is critical for development of ballistic-based systems and technologies for resisting their impact and minimizing damage.
The papers in this text were first presented at a September, 2011 conference organized by the National Defense Industrial Association and the International Ballistics Society.
