Structures Under Extreme Loading Conditions: Presented at the 1996 Asme Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, July 21-26, 1996 (Pvp (Series), V. 325.)

The 26 papers from a symposium of the July 1996 conference reflect continuing interest in high-energy excitations in connection with experimental, analytical, and computational approaches for learning the behavior of materials and structures under extreme loading conditions. Topics include: underwat
