2nd DYMAT Student Camp

17 - 20 June 2012
Tampere, Finland



Organized by : Tampere University of Technology, Department of Materials Science Tampere, Finland
and  the DYMAT Association

 

Topics

  • - Impact behavior of materials and structures
  • - Digital Image Correlation in Materials Research
  • - Dynamics of structures
  • - Modeling and constitutive equations
  • - Experimental and numerical methods (DEM or FEM) for dynamic applications
  • - Microstructural effects of dynamic loading
  • - Materials: metals,polymers composites, cellular materials, concrete…

 

Objectives

Understanding the dynamic behavior of materials is increasingly important in many applications in the modern world. The most obvious examples are different direct impact events such as car crashes, but also modern production methods are often so fast that the material behavior is no longer quasi-static and the dynamic behavior of the materials needs to be properly accounted for. Also, modeling and simulation of processes and events often requires knowledge of the behavior of the material at high rates. There are various physical phenomena involved in the dynamic material behavior, as well as in the testing and simulation of these effects, and therefore understanding all this is a very challenging task.

The Department of Materials Science at Tampere University of Technology, together with the DYMAT Association, organizes a Summer School DSC 2012  Materials Science in the Wilderness targeted at students and post-docs who work in the field of dynamic material behavior, testing, and simulations. DSC 2012 will be arranged in Tampere, Finland, from June 17th to 20th 2012. The Summer School will be arranged at the Murikka Institute by the Lake Näsijärvi, where the midsummer sun shines nearly 24 hours every day.  This meeting is a great opportunity for students and post-docs to present their research. For each student presentation (25 minutes),  a discussion (20 minutes) will be led by well-known tutors in order to thoroughly discuss and analyze their research work with the audience.

The objective of the summer school is to offer the students a forum for scientific exchange of thoughts and ideas and discussions about their research problems, experiences, and expertise. In addition to the scientific program, an extensive social program will be arranged including Finnish sauna and barbeque by the lake.
