The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids, the ECCOMAS Regional Conference

The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids aims to bring together scientists and engineers with interest in advanced modelling of wave propagation in solids. The Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids will concentrate on topics related to analytical, numerical and experimental studies of linear and non-linear waves in conventional, advanced and modern materials like metamaterials and auxetic materials, to strongly dispersive wave propagation in inhomogeneous solids and to waves in materials with microstructure, etc. Attention will also be devoted to up-to-date formulations of non-linear constitutive equations in the description of material response under thermomechanical loading, dynamic fracture and damage, phase transformations, shock waves, and to dissipative effects.

The recent advances and properties of analytical and numerical approaches and strategies should also be discussed. The main purpose of the Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids is to discuss novel and recent methods of wave propagation modelling and to consider expected credibility of results especially in cases when comparison with those of experiment is not available. Theoretical, computational as well as experimental contributions on the wave propagation are welcome.

The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids intends to concentrate on topics such as:

• Linear and non-linear waves in solids and advanced materials
• Shock waves, solitary waves
• Waves in strongly dispersive, anisotropic and heterogeneous media
• Wave propagation in materials with microstructure, in metamaterials and auxetic materials
• Wave propagation in periodic materials and structures
• Wave propagation modelling with non-linear constitutive equations
• Dynamic response of materials under complex thermomechanical loading
• Characterization of material properties in extremal loading applications
• Recent advances in experimental techniques in wave propagation and shock waves in solids (e.g. design improvements of split-Hopkinson pressure bars)
• Recent developments of analytical and numerical methods for wave propagation and transient problems in solids
• Verification and validation of modern analytical and numerical methods, analysis of their accuracy and stability
• Industrial applications of wave propagation problems in solids
