Review of the ICILSM 2024

The Fraunhofer EMI hosted the International Conference on Impact Loading of Structures and Materials (ICILSM) on 13-17 May 2024 in Freiburg, Germany. The conference was the fourth in a series of international conferences organized by the International Society of Impact Engineering.

The list of topic included but were not limited to:

  • Failure of structures under impact and blast loadings
  • Systems for protection against impact and blast loadings
  • Terminal ballistics and impact physics
  • Hypervelocity impact research
  • Dynamic behavior of materials, including failure and fracture
  • Structural crashworthiness
  • High-rate mechanical and forming processes
  • Measurement techniques for impact, blast and high-rate loading
  • Simulation methods for impact, blast and high-rate loading
