Scope and aims
The eighth ESHP symposium in Kumamoto, Japan (2026) follows Maribor, Slovenia (2023) successfully finished as the seventh symposium. The symposium series have been organized in Kumamoto, Japan (2004, 2007), Seoul, Korea (2010), Okinawa, Japan (2013), Beijing, P.R. China (2016) and Pondicherry, India (2019) and return to Kumamoto again.
The aim of the triennial international ESHP symposium is to promote the dissemination of significant developments in theoretical, computational, and experimental research of explosion, shock wave and high-energy reaction phenomena and related research areas.
Typical topics of interest
Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Chemistry of energetic and reactive materials.
Shock waves in condensed and gaseous matter.
Explosive cladding and other high-rate material processing technologies.
Dynamic behavior of materials at high strain rates.
Computational modelling and analysis of high velocity impact.
Experimental measurement and observation of high-rate phenomena.
Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis.
Other fundamentals and applications of high-energy reaction phenomena.
