Nonlinear Elastic and Inelastic Models for Shock Compression of Crystalline Solids

Dr. John D. Clayton has over fifteen years of experience with advanced constitutive modeling and numerical simulation of crystalline solids subjected to dynamic and high-pressure loading.  He has worked as a research scientist and team leader in the Impact Physics Branch of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen, Maryland since 2003.  He has served on the teaching faculty at the University of Maryland, College Park since 2015.  Dr. Clayton earned a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2002 and was a visiting scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and at Columbia University in 2016.  He is an elected fellow of both the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

“The book is a document of tremendous scientific work for the shock-loading issue. … While this book targets shock phenomena, the reader will benefit from the description of the deformation processes taking place in the single crystal, as well as the continuum mechanics framework exposed in the large strain regime in elasticity and inelasticity, the analysis of case studies and the appraisal of different approaches.” (Ioannis Doltsinis, Mathematical Reviews, March 2, 2020)
