Editorial Reviews:
Product Description In his exploration of the mathematical equations and logic behind antiballistic missiles (ATBMs), Richard Lloyd takes an in-depth look at theater missile defense and warhead design and concepts for ATBMs. Hailed as the perfect companion to Tactical Missile Warheads, the book demonstrates the system aspects you'll need as a systems warhead engineer designing complex tactical and defense warheads under tight budgetary constraints. Conventional Warhead Systems Physics and Engineering Design features a previously unpublished investigation of energy, momentum, and methods for estimating damage on very complex ballistic missile payloads, such as submunitions of chemical and biological nature. Direct hit, missile debris, and fragmentation are comprehensively discussed for the first time in print. High strain rate, explosives, thermodynamics, heat transfer, chemistry, penetration mechanics, statistics, dynamics and finite element equations are also covered extensively in this single, compact volume.
