1月9日上午，应重点实验室邀请，美国普渡大学陈为农教授到我实验室进行学术交流，并做学术报告，报告题目为：Recent Developments in Impact Experimental Methods at Purdue。报告在学院208会议室举行，董新龙教授主持，王礼立教授等实验室相关研究方向老师和研究生聆听了本次报告。

   报告中，陈为农教授介绍了其课题组在霍普金森杆的应用和试验方面的最新进展及遇到的问题，主要包括同时动态压缩、扭转载荷下的霍普金森杆；动态三轴压缩实验方法；集成动态载荷下高速X射线成像方法研究。陈教授提出要以追求、严谨、坚持、科学的态度对待学术研究，受到了在场学者的一致认可。

   报告最后，陈教授与在座的老师就霍普金森杆在不同材料中的试验条件、实验结果和处理方法等进行了热烈的讨论。最后，王礼立教授将编写的书籍赠送给陈教授，以作纪念。
