Abstract：Response and protection of materials and structures under impact loadings are the hot topics in solid mechanics and explosion mechanics with important application background in national defense and civil protection. The present paper mainly reviews the research status and development trend of the response and protection of materials and structures under impact loadings. The content covers the dynamic characteristic, constitutive relation and the deformation and failure of some common materials and structures in weapons equipment and protection engineering, focusing on the dynamic constitutive behavior of concrete, tungsten alloy, alumina and the protection mechanism of concrete tunnel, ship, etc.
