Characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of materials under these environments is important in predicting the response of structures and improving designs.\n This book gathers contributions by eminent researchers in academia and government research laboratories on the latest advances in the understanding of the dynamic process of damage, cracking and fragmentation. It allows the reader to .
