Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, offers unique opportunities to explore novel properties and mechanics of materials and structures, with its ability to spatially control material constituents. This symposium calls for abstracts from research efforts related to materials and structures with novel mechanical properties/behaviors realized via 3D printing techniques. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel 3D printing methods for stimuli-responsive materials
- 3D printed metamaterials with novel properties and functionalities, such as unique acoustic properties, negative Poisson’s ratio, negative stiffness etc.
- 3D printed active materials with programmable deformation and/or active modulation of physical properties
- 3D printed bio-inspired and bio-compatible materials
- Design theory or methodology for 3D printed materials and structures
- Constitutive modeling and computational simulation of 3D printed materials and structures
- Applications of 3D printed materials and structures
- Instabilities and failure in 3D printed materials
You can submit your abstract through abstract-submission-portal (link).
Abstract submission deadline for SES 2017 will be SATURDAY, April 15, 2017.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to receiving your contributions and seeing you in Boston.

Symposium Description:
Mechanics has emerged as one of the key factors affecting the performance of energy materials in thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, and batteries. The importance of mechanical properties in materials for renewable energy sources, such as wind, wave, solar, geomethermal, and tidal energies, is also widely recognized. This symposium will bring together experts from materials sciences, mechanics, chemistry, and other engineering communities interested in energy conversion, storage, and harvesting to review the current state of the art technologies and discuss the outstanding research needs and grand challenges in mechanics of advanced energy materials. Interdisciplinary topics will be addressed through invited talks in order to accelerate the fundamental understanding of these materials toward applications. Topics addressed in this symposium will include (but not be limited to):

Dear Colleagues,
We hope this message finds you well. We are organizing a symposium entitled "Mechanics of Biological and Bioinspired Materials" at The Society of Engineering Science (SES) 53rd Annual Technical Meeting at University of Maryland, College Park, from October 2–5, 2016. The deadline abstract submission is June 15, 2016.
This symposium will focus on multiscale mechanics in biomolecular materials as found in natural and living systems as well as bioinspired engineered materials. The subject materials can be materials with biological origin (bacterial and plant based materials, extracellular matrix, nucleic acids, cell and subcellular components), as well as synthetic macromolecules that aim to mimic biological structure and functionality.
Topics range from experimental approaches, theoretical and computational modeling, as well as new tools for characterization and design of biomolecular materials. The symposium aims to bring together researchers investigating various aspects of multiscale mechanics of materials for application in science and engineering. Relevant topics include and are not limited to:
- Multiscale experiments, simulation and theory with a particular focus on predictive and materials-by-design approaches for the mechanics of biomolecular materials.
- Synthesis, characterization and modeling of hybrid materials that incorporate biological building blocks into engineered materials with mechanical functions.
- Fundamental investigations relevant to self-assembly, folding, micro- and nano-structure prediction in biological applications.
- Nanoscale physics of interfaces in biology and engineered systems.
- Development of experimental tools and computational methods for modeling, imaging, and mechanical characterization of biomolecular materials.
- Bioinspiration approaches with mechanics-based design principles.
We look forward to your submission!

We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to Symposium D-14: Non-linear Response of Highly Deformable Structures within the “Mechanics of Solids and Structures” track at the 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2016), hosted by the University of Maryland, October 2-5, 2016.
The deadline for abstract submission is June 15, 2016.
Symposium Technical Description
Since the seminal work of Koiter in 1945, there has been significant attention devoted to the study of structural failures from mechanical buckling. Beyond the usually studied wrinkles and buckles, a number of mechanical instability modes have been discovered, such as creases, period-doubles, ridges, crumples and others. Besides, instead of being viewed as a failure mechanism, mechanical instabilities has been utilized in both natural systems and novel engineering applications as diverse as wearable electronic devices, smart surfaces with controllable adhesion and wetting properties, smart window and antifouling. Combined novel strategies in materials, mechanics and manufacturing open up new possibilities for bio-integration, with appealing examples ranging from sensors to human-machine interfaces.
The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers from academia, industry and national labs to present, discuss and exchange the latest development in theoretical, computational, and experimental studies on mechanical instabilities across a wide range of length-scales. Both fundamental research and practical applications of mechanical instabilities are welcome. Topics invited for this symposium include but are not limited to:
(a) Mechanical instability modes beyond wrinkles and buckles,
(b) Structural design for mechanical instabilities,
(c) Controlled interface and surface properties with mechanical instabilities,
(d) Adhesion, friction, deformation and failure mechanisms,
(e) Mechanical properties and stability of thin films and multilayered structures,
(f) Thin film patterning, in-situ experimental testing and numerical modeling,
and (g) Mechanical instabilities in biological and bio-inspired systems.
