15th International Conference on Structures under Shock and Impact (SUSI) 2018

Organizer(s) Wessex Institute of Technology
Venue
Hotel Meliá Sevilla
Date
-

The increasing need to protect civilian infrastructure and industrial facilities against unintentional loads arising from accidental impact and explosion events as well as a 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.

Topics include:

  • Impact and blast loading
  • Seismic behaviour
  • Protection of existing structures
  • Hazard mitigation and assessment
  • Security issues
  • Dynamic analysis of composite structures
  • Dynamic material behaviour
  • Structural design against multipole based activities
  • Fluid structure interaction
