About SUSI 2020

It is the objective of these meetings to bring together scientists and engineers from a wide range of academic disciplines and industrial backgrounds who have an interest in the structural impact and blast response of structures and materials. In this way, the major developments in different areas can be brought to the attention of the entire community.

Topics

Civil and environment engineering, Structures under extreme loading, Infrastructure

Call for Papers

The increasing need to protect civilian infrastructure and industrial facilities against unintentional loads arising from accidental impact and explosion events as well as terrorist attack is reflected in the sustained interest in the SUSI meetings over three decades. While advances have been made over this period, nevertheless many challenges remain, such as to develop more effective and efficient blast and impact mitigation approaches than currently exist. The primary focus remains the survivability of physical facilities and the protection of people, as well as reducing economic losses and impact on the environment, with emphasis on innovative protective technologies to support the needs of an economically growing, modern society. The application of this technology ranges from the safe transportation of people in several modes and the transportation of dangerous or combustible materials to defences against natural hazard threats such as flood, wind, storm, tsunami and earthquake.

The following list covers some of the topics to be presented at the Conference. Papers on other subjects related to the objectives of the meeting are also welcome

  • Impact and blast loading
  • Energy absorbing issues
  • Computational and experimental results
  • Response of reinforced concrete under impact
  • Response of buildings to blast
  • Seismic behaviour
  • Protection of existing structures
  • Industrial accidents and explosions
  • Hazard mitigation and assessment
  • Security issues
  • Response of composite structures to blast and impact Vehicle impact
  • Ballistics analysis
  • Dynamic material behaviour
  • Structural design against multiple based activities
  • Fluid structure interaction (add in blast loads)
  • Multiphysics coupled problems
  • Case studies
