The use of novel materials and new structural concepts nowadays is
not restricted to highly technical areas like aerospace,
aeronautical applications or the automotive industry, but affects
all engineering fields including those such as civil engineering
and architecture. The included contributions highlight the latest
developments in design and manufacturing. Most high-performance
structures require the development of a generation of new
materials, which can more easily resist a range of external stimuli
or react in a non-conventional manner. Particular emphasis is
placed on intelligent structures and materials as well as the
application of computational methods for their modelling, control
and management. The book also addresses the topic of design
optimisation. Contributions cover numerical methods, different
optimisation techniques and new software. Optimisation problems
include those related to the size, shape and topology of structures
and materials. Optimisation techniques have much to offer to those
involved in the design of new industrial products, as the
appearance of powerful commercial computer codes has created a
fertile field for the incorporation of optimisation in the design
process of all engineering disciplines. The performance of
structures under shock and impact loads is another area covered.
The increasing need to protect civilian infrastructure and
industrial facilities against unintentional loads arising from
accidental impact and explosion events as well as terrorist attacks
is reflected in the sustained interest worldwide. While advances
have been made in recent decades, many challenges remain, such as
developing more effective and efficient blast and impact mitigation
approaches or assessing the uncertainties associated with large and
small scale testing and validation of numerical and analytical
models. The overall aim is to move towards a better understanding
of the critical issues relating to the testing behaviour, modelling
and analyses of protective structures against blast and impact
loading. The studies contained in this volume were presented at the
International Conference on High Performance and Optimum Structures
and Materials Encompassing Shock and Impact Loading and address
issues involving advanced types of structures, particularly those
based on new concepts, and shock and impact resistance.
