Conference topics

The conference will focus on the behaviour and modelling of components and structures subjected to impact loadings and the following topics are defined:

Material modelling including failure of
  • Aluminium and Titanium alloys (or more generally lightweight alloys)
  • Cast aluminium and magnesium
  • Polymers 
  • High-strength steels
  • Foams
  • Composites
  • Biological materials
     
Behaviour and modelling of joints
  • Welded
  • Riveted
  • Bolted
  • Bonded
     
Process based structural response simulations
  • Robust design of structures
  • Penetration and blast loading of structures
  • Experimental techniques
