Total of seven IMPACT scientists participated the technical meeting focusing on the Temperature Effects of High Strain Rate Behavior of Materials. The conference featured a very good overview of the current challenges in the experiments and modeling of the dynamic materialbehavior at different temperatures. The nature of the Technical Meeting is to present both mature work, but also work in progress. The mature work presented in the Meeting was assembled into a Special Issue of the Journal of Dynamic Behavior of Materials. In the conference we presented ongoing work mainly focusing on the full field analysis of the Taylor-Quinney coefficient, effects of the adiabatic heating on the material behavior, and developing methodology to carry out high strain rate tests at different temperatures in the microscale. Overall the conference was very succesfull, and gave many good ideas for future work.
