Shear Thickening Fluids in Protective Applications

This book is a complete reference to the use of shear thickening fluid (STF) in protective applications. It discusses the adaptive behavior of STF in various systems and how it is used effectively in a wide range of protective applications from low-velocity to high-velocity conditions. Covered applications include STF-based energy absorbing systems, anti-impact structures, deceleration devices, shock attenuation composites, and body armor applications. Shear Thickening Fluid in Protective Applications will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, researchers, and scientists working in advanced materials, protective applications, and smart structures.
