CSP - 11th International Symposium on Plasticity and Impact Mechanics
Abstract
ABSTRACTThe technical and scientific objectives of the program:The acronym IMPLAST implies a convergence of the words Impact and Plasticity. This conference will present research topics related to large deformation and failure of materials (including metals, composites, cellular, geomaterials or concrete) and structures resulting from quasi-static, earthquake, fire, impact or blast loading.The program of IMPLAST 2016 will include keynote/invited/contributed presentations from about 20 different countries.IMPLAST series, initiated in 1973, has been providing platform to scientists, engineers and researchers from universities, scientific laboratories and industries across the globe for sharing latest developments in plasticity and impact mechanics. In addition, these symposia have proven instrumental in building and strengthening lasting relationships between the participants.Topics covered in the symposium and the focus areas of interest in US Navy:The following topics will be covered during the symposium. The list is indicative and not exhaustive.1. Constitutive Relations2. Theories of Plasticity3. Behavior of Materials at High Strain Rates4. Application of Theories to Structural and Manufacturing Problems5. Structural Crashworthiness and Failure6. Stress Waves in Solids7. Mechanics of Penetration and Perforation8. Fire and Blast Loading9. Earthquake Loading10. High Speed Impact ProblemsThe breadth of topics covered in this conference will have the potential to provide novel ideas for design, material selection, safety and maintenance of naval structures. As highlighted in the keynote/invited/contributed talks, the outcomes of this conference will address several ONR thrust areas/programs like Structural Materials, Solid Mechanics, Airframe Design and Materials and Cellular Materials, to name a few. Specific topics like blast loading, crashworthiness and failure, as well as high speed impact will further provide insights on mitigation of damage due to blast loading on different types of materials and structures.
