Call for abstracts - USNC/TAM 2022: Mechanics-guided Design of Composites

Dear colleagues, 

We would like to cordially invite you to participate in the Mini-Symposium on " 305 Mechanics-guided Design, Material Processing and Applications of Composites" at the 19th US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM), to be held in Austin, Texas  from June 19 to 24, 2022.

The deadline for abstract submission is December 18th 2021

Please refer to the following URL for additional instructions on abstract submission:

https://www.usnctam2022.org/abstract_instructions

This mini-symposium will cover mechanics-guided experimental, computational modeling, and design-related efforts toward manufacturing or fabricating composites and heterogeneous materials for diverse applications in aerospace, biomedical and robotics, etc. Sessions might include but not limited to materials research, processing techniques, or applications related to the following areas:

• Design and processing of conventional and hard composites

• Fabrication and application of nanocomposites

• Design, fabrication, and application of emerging composites and heterogeneous materials including soft functional composites

• Processing-structure-property relationships for composites

• Interphases and interfaces in composites and heterogeneous materials

• Novel experimental characterization techniques for composites

• Computational modeling and optimization for composites and heterogeneous materials

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning in the design, fabrication, and analysis of composites

Look forward to your submissions!
