After the conference, all presented abstracts will be published on the HISTRATE’s platform, enhancing the impact of your work. Moreover, full papers can be submitted to the special issue devoted to the HISTRATE 3rd Conference of the journal “Mechanics of Composite Materials” hosted by the University of Latvia according to the template. The submitted papers will be peer-reviewed before publication.
Conference Topics:
- Novel composite materials for high strain rate applications
- Novel simulation methods and best practices for composites under high strain rates
- Multi-modal sensing for impact detection and damage characterization
- Advanced testing and instrumentation for composites under high strain rates
- New standards for composites certification with industrial applications under high strain rates
Submission of abstracts for the conference is now closed.
