Co-organizers: Dr Walter J. Ammann Institute for Structural Engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH--H6nggerberg, CH-8093 Ziirich, Switzerland.
Professor Dr W. K. Liu Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, The Technological Institute, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60201, U.S.A. Dr Thomas Zimmermann Institute of Energy Economics and Power Engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, EPF--Ecublens, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland & Zace Services Ltd, Software Engineering, P.O. Box 2, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.
Dr J. Studer GSS Consulting Engineers Ltd, Witikonerstrasse 15, CH-8032 Ziirich, Switzerland.
This seminar considers the effects of fast transient loadings in the context of structural mechanics. The fast transient loadings will be limited to the categories of missile impact, impulsive loadings due to blast waves, jet impingements, wave slam, etc., for nuclear and non-nuclear applications. Topics to be discussed are as follows. ---Numerical aspects. --Constitutive modelling. --Selected experiments and recent case studies which document the above topics will also be considered. The seminar is intended to be an experts-workshop where genuine solutions for common problems are sought and discussed. Presentations will be delivered in the form of keynote state-of-the-art lectures by distinguished experts in the field. Prospective contributors for the poster-session should submit a 300-word summary to Dr W. J. Ammann.
