Role of Impact Engineering Expected in Natural Disasters

Abstract

In recent years, the natural disasters such as tornadoes, typhoons and volcanoes occur at a high level. As a result, there are incidents involving human life. Therefore, urgent countermeasure are necessary. In common with these natural disasters, the damage is caused by high-speed collision due to objects flying. Therefore, the knowledge of the impact engineering will be a field to be tested. However, it is impossible for the engineers alone to copel with the sudden natural disasters.In this research, we introduce the case of prevention engineering for volcanic disaster where the impact engineering and volcanology are fused, mainly focusing on volcanic disaster countermeasures.
