Dear Colleague

RE: Computational Ballistics 2007: Paper Deadline 4 February 2007

I trust that you have received the Call for Papers for the international 
conference on Computational Ballistics 2007, organised by Wessex Institute 
of Technology, UK and sponsored by WIT Transactions on Modelling & 
Simulation.

The organisation of the conference is progressing well and we have received 
many interesting abstracts and several outstanding invited contributions.

If you would like to participate in this conference please submit your 
abstract as soon as possible and note that the paper deadline is 4 February 
2007. Abstract submissions can be made via the conference website at: 
http://www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2007/ballistics2007/1.html

Alternatively please email or fax your submission to me at:
Email: rgreen at wessex.ac.uk or Fax: + 44 (0) 238 029 2853

I have included a brief summary below of the objectives and topic areas of 
the conference for your information; for further details about the 
conference please visit our website.

We look forward to receiving your abstract and welcoming your contribution 
in what promises to be a most successful conference.

Kind regards

Rachel Green
Conference Manager

**If you have already submitted your Abstract - thank you. You do not need 
to re-submit it.**

OBJECTIVES
=============================================================

Computational Ballistics 2007 is the third international conference in this 
successful series, which provides a forum for the presentation of new ideas 
and advanced developments in this field of study. Computational Ballistics, 
in spite of its specific objectives, has a wide range of applications and, 
as a science, relates to a great variety of phenomena which occur from the 
moment an object or projectile is fired until its effects are observed in a 
target.

Ballistic studies include applications as varied as the study of the 
structural and control behaviour of rockets and communication satellites; 
bird strike effects on commercial aircraft, terrorist attacks and automobile 
crackworthiness modelling. Many of the basic problems of ballistics are 
similar to those in other fields of applications, such as combustion, heat 
conduction, in-flight structural behaviour, trajectory related issues, 
contact, impact, penetration, structural response to shock waves and ma
The developments in Ballistics in the last few decades are closely related 
to the advances in Computational Mechanics but in spite of this, there are 
currently no open conferences on Computational Ballistics other than this 
meeting.
