ASME IMECE 2018”Multif的变形和破坏unctional Materials" – Last call for abstracts

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to cordially invite you to attend the symposium entitled "Deformation and Failure of Multifunctional Materials" organized under track "Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids" in theInternational Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) ASME 2018conference. The conference will be held inPittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 11–14, 2018(https://www.asme.org/events/imece).

The broad topic of this symposium is the structural and functional effectiveness and reliability of multifunctional materials in engineering applications. The aim is to offer a platform for scientists and engineers to present and discuss experimental, modeling, and simulation research on the deformation response and failure of such materials. Piezoelectric ceramics, thermomechanical and ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, magnetorheological elastomers, and any other type of monolithic or composite material exhibiting multi-field coupling in bulk or thin-film are considered. Research presentations from both academia and industry are welcome.

We look forward to having you join us!

The deadline for abstracts isFebruary 26, 2018.
