Dear Colleagues, dear Friends,

From its origins in 1983, DYMAT’s mission has been to bring together engineers and scientists from all nations working in the field of the dynamic mechanical behaviour of materials; encompassing various aspects such as experimental techniques, constitutive modelling, micro-structural effects, numerical simulations, etc.

This mission is more challenging to lead in the current context of difficulties to travel and to meet together. However, our association will keep on looking for new ideas and solutions to adapt to the situation, and to strengthen this so precious link with each member of our community.
Hence, we have the pleasure and honour to announce to you the first DYMAT webinar:

“Mitigation of shock loading on structures using aqueous methylcellulose solution”
Professor Daniel Rittel, Technion Institute of Technology, Israel,
Wednesday, the 9th of December, 5 :00 pm – 6:00 pm (Paris time)

Participants will be allowed to interact with the speaker by sending their questions through a chat box.

Instructions for connection:
