“This multiauthored book describes the physics, materials response, engineering principles, and clinical impact of blast injury. … Basic scientists, materials specialists, clinical investigators, and clinicians treating victims of blast injury are an appropriate audience for this book from medical, engineering, military, and law enforcement agencies all based in the U. K. … Engineers will appreciate the mathematics of explosion force, while clinicians will find helpful reviews of physics and incident modeling.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
Blast Injury Science and Engineering
A Guide for Clinicians and Researchers
herausgegeben von Anthony M. J. Bull, Jon Clasper und Peter F. MahoneyThis book aims to help clinicians who seek to conduct science and engineering based research on blast injuries as well as engineers and scientists who seek to apply their expertise to address blast injuries.
Blast injuries are prevalent. While the current conflict in Afghanistan is reaching its final stages, the legacy of landmines will sadly ensure that injuries and fatalities will continue to occur. The understanding of these injuries and the science behind their mitigation and treatment is a multi-disciplinary effort. Current knowledge has rapidly grown due to recent conflicts, yet the learning has not yet been captured in any formal way.
