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. First book to examine the protective applications of STF; Covers low-velocity to high-velocity conditions; Includes case studies UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-42951-4 ER -
