Special Session Information
Under extreme conditions such as explosion and impact, materials and structures will experience severe impact loads, which are characterized by high temperature, high strain rate, and high pressure. Impact load includes blast loading, ballistic impact, and damage. In this Special Issue, theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experiments will be used to study the dynamic strength, impact response and protection designs of materials and structures, including metal materials, composite materials, polymer materials, ceramic materials, cellular materials, biomaterials, lightweight cellular sandwich structures, composite structures, soft matter, advanced nanomaterials, layered structures, etc. In these studies, the influences of boundary conditions, load characteristics, size effects, material properties, geometric properties, and other factors on the impact characteristics and dynamic strengths of materials and structures are considered. Through these studies, we can better understand the failure mechanisms, dynamic strength, energy absorption, optimal designs of these materials and structures under impact load, and so on. Understanding potential dynamic strength and failure mechanisms can help to design advanced materials or structures for energy absorption or impact resistance.The main topics of interest for this Special Session include but are not limited to:
• Dynamic strength of structures;
• Residual strength of structures after impact;
• Dynamic behavior of materials;
• Dynamic response of structures;
• Energy absorption of materials and structures;
• Damage mechanism of materials and structures;
• Optimal designs of protective materials and structures;
• Blast loading;
• Low-velocity impact;
• Ballistic impact.
