Dynamic Behavior of Materials represents one of seven volumes of technical papers to be presented at the 2020 SEM Annual
Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics
scheduled to be held in Orlando, FL, September 14–17, 2020. The complete proceedings also include volumes on: Challenges
in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials; Fracture, Fatigue, Failure and Damage Evolution; Advancement of Optical
Methods & Digital Image Correlation in Experimental Mechanics; Mechanics of Biological Systems and Materials, Microand Nanomechanics & Research Applications; Mechanics of Composite, Hybrid & Multifunctional Materials; and
Thermomechanics & Infrared Imaging, Inverse Problem Methodologies and Mechanics of Additive & Advanced Manufactured
Materials.
Each collection presents early findings from experimental and computational investigations on an important area within
Experimental Mechanics. Dynamic Behavior of Materials is one of these areas.
The Dynamic Behavior of Materials track was initiated in 2005 and reflects our efforts to bring together researchers interested in the dynamic behavior of materials and structures, and to provide a forum to facilitate technical interaction and
exchange. Over the years, this track has been representing the ever-growing interests in dynamic behavior to the SEM community, working toward expanding synergy with other tracks and topics, and improving diversity and inclusivity, as evidenced by the increasing number and diversity of papers and attendance.
The contributed papers span numerous technical divisions within SEM, demonstrating its relevance not only in the
dynamic behavior of materials community but also in the mechanics of materials community as a whole. The track organizers thank the authors, presenters, organizers, and session chairs for their participation, support, and contribution to this track.
The SEM support staff is also acknowledged for their devoted efforts in accommodating the large number of paper submissions this year, making the 2020 Dynamic Behavior of Materials Track a success.
