CSP - International Symposium on Dynamic Response and Failure of Composite Materials, Draf2018
Abstract
The third edition of the symposium will address current research topics related to compositematerials and sandwich structures under dynamic loading conditions. It will have a strongemphasis on marine applications with presentations on the design of high speed marinevehicles, underwater explosions, fluid-structure interactions, and extreme cold temperatureeffects, in addition to more general topics.This is an International Conference with researchers from all over the world personally invitedby the organizing committee, to ensure a high quality level. It should be noted that the majorfocus of the ONR Solid Mechanics Program is the dynamic response and failure of marinecomposites in the severe marine environment. Structure/fluid interactions, wave/hullslamming, explosions (in air and underwater), and extreme loading conditions will behighlighted as emerging areas of interest to the research community. Special sessions will bededicated to "Materials behaviour in extreme conditions", "Blast" and "Ageing". Therefore, thetopic of this symposium is directly relevant to ONR/Navy research.Dr L. Douglas from Navy Lab. and Dr C. L. Lloyd, Tech. Advisor to PEO Ships S&T Direct.,DELTA Resources, as well as other excellent members of Navy Mil, will be personally invited.The Italian Navy, in the person of CDR F. Greco, Head of the Auxiliary Ships Section, will givethe endorsement and will be present with technical contributions. A round table will be plannedwith others exponent and ONR, to discuss collaborations.Cetena, Italian Ship Research Centre, FINCANTIERI Group, to research and consultancy in thenaval and maritime field, will give its contribution.As for the first two editions, Dr. Yapa D.S. Rajapakse, Manager of the Solid Mechanics Programat the ONR, will give the opening address at the symposium, opening the sessions with aninteresting Plenary Lecture, the only presentation at the opening session, on his experiences atONR and his views of research needs for future Naval structures with enhanced performancesand reduced life-cycle costs. He is also in the Scientific and Organizing Committees.The positive response of several PI from Solid Mechanics Program (SMP, ONR) allows theorganization of the ONR Special Session. M. Porfiri, PI of SMP, from NYU, will introduce theSession with a Key-note. Prof. A. Shukla, SMP PI, from Univ. of Rhode Island, accepted theinvitation for a Plenary Lecture, as for the last edition. Prof. J. Dear, SMP PI, from ImperialCollege, will give a Key-note too on Blast topic.Applications in Aerospace and Automotive fields will be discussed too in addition to moregeneral topics on impact. Particular attention will be paid to failure modes and criteria,constitutive equations and damage investigations from experimental, theoretical and numericalpoints of view, providing scientific basis for the material and fabrication methods selection andthe design of advanced structures. Prof. C. Bouvet from Universty of Toulouse, was invited togive a Key-note on impact behaviour of composites laminates for aerospace applications. TheItalian Cosmonaut, T.C. W. Villadei accepted the invitation to take a Plenary Lectureintroducing the Aerospace Application session. Alenia Aeronautica is involved too.The primary objective of the Symposium is to gather people from different Universities,Research Centres and Industries, to discuss research directions about new materials and theirresponses to severe loading conditions, and to promote interactions and collaborationsbetween scientists working on the same topic and having the same interests.A Special Issue on Procedia Engineering by Elsevier, or on J. of Reinf. Plastics and Compos., oron Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Modeling, Exp. and Design (MMED)??? by Springer Nature.Progress in Aerospace Science and Composite Structures will dedicate a Special Issue too.A Book edited by Elsevier was already published for the first edition of the conference,Draf2014, and it will be proposed for the n
