The Shock and High Strain Rate Properties of Matter
September 7th-10th 2010, Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University
The Institute of Shock Physics in association with the Cavendish Laboratory
ISWI 2010 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
The conference dealt with areas relevant to shock both in the gas and condensed phases, covering theoretical, experimental & numerical approaches. Subjects focused on new areas which are becoming increasingly relevant to the Shock Community including; new material types, medical physics, reaction pathways, granular materials and novel diagnostics. Invited speakers provided keynote addresses in each of these areas. There were focus sessions on 'Shock and Detonation Waves - the Formation of MACH and von Neuman Reflection' and 'Biological Materials and Effects'. Contributed papers formed the major part of the conference and these will be published in the journal Shock Waves in a special edition. View a photo of the large group of international attendees.
