Aims and scope: The scope and aims of ICILSM are closely aligned with those of the International Journal of Impact Engineering. The conference provides an international forum for presenting and discussing original research on the response of structures, components, and materials subjected to impact, blast, and other forms of high-rate loading. Topics of interest include the behaviour and failure of structures and materials under impact and blast loading; protective systems and energy-absorbing concepts; terminal ballistics; the dynamic deformation and failure of materials, including plasticity and fracture; stress-wave propagation; structural crashworthiness; high-rate mechanical and forming processes; and experimental, numerical, and measurement techniques for impact, blast, and high-rate loading. Contributions addressing related scientific and engineering challenges are also warmly welcomed.

Export control and sanctions compliance: All abstracts, presentations, posters, demonstrations, and related discussions at ICILSM must be limited to information that has already been lawfully made publicly available. Contributions must not disclose confidential or proprietary information, controlled technology or software, restricted technical data, or other information whose disclosure would violate applicable export-control laws, sanctions, contractual obligations, or third-party rights.
