CSP - XIII International Symposium on Explosive Production of New Materials: Science, Technology, Business, and Innovations (EPNM-2016)
Abstract
XIII International Symposium on Explosive Production of New Materials: Science, Technology, Business, and Innovations (EPNM-2016):The International Symposium on Explosive Production of New Materials (EPNM) is the premier international conference in the area of the science and technology that underlies synthesis and processing of materials under high rate, high temperature, and ultra high dynamic loading conditions to efficiently yield materials with unique properties with in some cases cannot be achieved using other means. This field encompasses shock or detonation-assisted synthesis, self propagating high temperature synthesis, shock-assisted modification of materials, shock/explosion-mediated consolidation/sintering of metallic, ceramic and composite materials; and explosive strengthening and welding of metals. This is an area with has been pioneered by eastern European scientists and has grown in interest over the past decade or so, and has matured to the extent that these processes are being adopted by industry, primarily in eastern Europe, but increasingly elsewhere across the globe.This symposium is currently held every two years and hosted by a different European university. The last symposium was held in Cracow in 2014, and had 130 participants from primarily eastern Europe, but also from the US, France, Germany, Portugal, Algeria, Japan, South Korea, and China. The symposium provides a forum for the presentation of high quality, original research covering various aspects of this novel discipline. The field relies on a range of science and technologies including both theoretical and experimental developments. This symposium will bring together experts in solid mechanics, engineering, materials science, and shock physics to explore recent breakthoughs and emerging opportunities to efficiently develop and produce novel metallic, ceramic, and composite systems with superior properties. The technical program for this year~s symposium includes the following topics: synthesis and processing of new materials by shock waves; high dynamic rate consolidation and sintering of metals, ceramics, and composite materials; self-propagating, high temperature synthesis methods, experimental methods in detonation processes and characterization, numerical modeling of these processes; explosive welding of metals; implementation of shock/explosion based methods for materials production and processing; and mechanical properties and service parameters of explosion hardened, welded, clad materials. The goal of the meeting is to provide a forum for the sharing of ideas, and to enhance communication among this diverse group of technical experts, thereby contributing to future advances in the field. This meeting provides a single venue to review technical progress of this international research community and provide guidance to the NRE, particularly ONR 30, 33 and 35, of the development in the area of structural material and mechanics systems and its use for designing and implementing advanced platforms and weapon systems with superior performance to current systems using materials that are much stronger, lighter, and with greater endurance in harsh environment than those currently available.
