Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Geometry

Werner Goldsmith mostly deals with Composite material, Projectile, Structural engineering, Deflection and Mechanics. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Quasistatic process and Composite material. His Projectile research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Occiput, Spherical shell and Optics.

His Structural engineering research integrates issues from Simulation and Split-Hopkinson pressure bar. The study incorporates disciplines such as Wave propagation, Kinematics, Plate theory and Dissipative system in addition to Deflection. His Mechanics research focuses on Classical mechanics and how it relates to SPHERES and Ricochet.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanical Impact Dynamics: Rigid Body Collisions (218 citations)
  • Non-ideal projectile impact on targets (190 citations)
  • An experimental study of energy absorption in impact on sandwich plates. (172 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Werner Goldsmith mainly focuses on Projectile, Composite material, Mechanics, Structural engineering and Optics. His study in Projectile is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Penetration and Deflection. His study in Aluminium, Strain gauge, Split-Hopkinson pressure bar, Dynamic loading and Solid mechanics is done as part of Composite material.

His work deals with themes such as Viscoelasticity, Classical mechanics, Plane, SPHERES and Longitudinal wave, which intersect with Mechanics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Boundary value problem and Diffraction. As part of the same scientific family, Werner Goldsmith usually focuses on Structural engineering, concentrating on Head and intersecting with Biomechanics, Torso and Cadaver.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Projectile (34.33%)
  • Composite material (33.58%)
  • Mechanics (27.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2005)?

  • Projectile (34.33%)
  • Composite material (33.58%)
  • Perforation (10.45%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Projectile, Composite material, Perforation, Mechanics and Impact crater. His research in Projectile is mostly focused on Ballistic limit. His studies in Composite material integrate themes in fields like Wave propagation and Dissipation.

His Mechanics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Structural engineering. His study on Bending is often connected to Momentum as part of broader study in Structural engineering. His studies deal with areas such as Composite number and Computer simulation as well as Aluminium.

Between 1993 and 2005, his most popular works were:

  • Non-ideal projectile impact on targets (190 citations)
  • Axial Mechanical Properties of Fresh Human Cerebral Blood Vessels (137 citations)
  • A biomechanical analysis of the causes of traumatic brain injury in infants and children. (101 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Geometry

Werner Goldsmith mostly deals with Anatomy, Crash, Forensic engineering, Human factors and ergonomics and Injury prevention. His Bridging veins and Cadaver study in the realm of Anatomy connects with subjects such as Cerebral arteries. Crash combines with fields such as Association, Honor, Research findings, Applied psychology and Advisory committee in his investigation.

His Forensic engineering study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Head. His Human factors and ergonomics study combines topics in areas such as Biomechanical Phenomena, Physical therapy, Occupational safety and health and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Injury prevention and Context.
