ICILSM 2018: International Conference on Impact Loading of Structures and Materials

Dear colleagues

We sincerely invite you to attend the coming International Conference on Impact Loading of Structures and Materials to be held in Xi'an, China during May 7th-11th, 2018.

The list of topics includes but is not limited to:

• Material behavior at high strain rates (lightweight alloys, composites, polymers, metals, foams, ceramics, biological materials)

• Structural failure under impact, energy absorbing systems and crashworthiness

• New dynamic experimental techniques

• Modeling and numerical analysis under impact loading

• Vehicle safety (automotive, railways, aerospace, motorcycles and bicycles, naval)

• Impact biomechanics

There is no limitation for the studied structures/materials, provided that the high strain rate effect is involved. The conference welcome also original investigations related to road vehicles, aircraft, trains, spacecraft, ships, offshore structures, strategic buildings and infrastructure under impact loading.

More details can be found at: http://www.icilsm2018.org

The deadline for abstract submissions is 30 Nov 2017.

Looking forward to your contributions!

Best regards,

Yulong Li, Northwestern Polytechnical University
