04: Computational Analysis and Modeling of Experimental Dynamic Loading Tests

• Mohammad Reza Khosravani, Chair of Solid Mechanics, University of Siegen
• Carola Bilgen, Chair of Solid Mechanics, University of Siegen

Computational analysis of experimental results play a central role in the development and understanding of complex material behavior. This mini-symposium is intended for the presentation and discussion of latest scientific developments related to the computational simulation of mechanical tests under high strain rate condition, such as: Split Hopkinson Bar experiments, impact tests, drop weight tests and related experiments in the dynamic loading regime. Typically these tests lead to fracture and failure under high strain rate which has high technological and economic impact in many engineering applications.

This mini-symposium will cover academic and industrial computational mechanics problems including different materials such as metals, polymer, composites, biomaterials, concrete and ceramics. The goal of this mini-symposium is to gather a group of young scientists to discuss methods and approaches to bring together the disparate multidisciplinary aspects of computational mechanic under dynamic loading regime which are necessary for the future developments.
