This critical collection examines a range of the dynamic behavior of materials, from low-impedance materials to geo-materials to fracture and failure, as presented in early findings and case studies from the Proceedings of the 2013 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics. The collection includes papers in the following general technical research areas:
• General Dynamic Material Properties
• Novel Dynamic Testing Techniques
• Dynamic Fracture and Failure
• Novel Testing Techniques
• Dynamic Behavior of Geo-materials
• Dynamic Behavior of Biological and Biomimetic Materials
• Dynamic Behavior of Composites and Multifunctional Materials
• Dynamic Behavior of Low-Impedance materials
• Multi-scale Modeling of Dynamic Behavior of Materials
• Quantitative Visualization of Dynamic Behavior of Materials
• Shock/Blast Loading of Materials
Dynamic Behavior of Materials: Proceedings of the 2013 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics is the first volume of eight from the Conference.
