Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to participate in a symposium on “Modeling and experimental characterization for the behavior of the micro/nanostructured thin films” in ASME 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition in Montreal, Canada ( http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2014/).
The symposium main focus is on experimental, theoretical and computational studies of mechanical and thermal properties and responses of small structured thin films and coatings. These studies will include, but are not limited to the following subject areas: microstructural characterization, elasticity, fatigue, fracture, plasticity and creep, thermal stability, micro/nano-mechanical testing techniques, Micro/Nano-fabrication methods, advanced Micro/Nano-manufacturing of various devices and theoretical, computational and analytical modeling of mechanical and thermal properties at small dimensions.
To submit an abstract please go to: http://www.asmeconferences.org/Congress2014/Author/NewAbstract.cfm
· Track 11 Materials: Genetics to Structures
· Symposium: 11-25 Modeling and experimental characterization for the behavior of the micro/nanostructured thin films
We would very much like you to consider contributing a presentation within this symposium. The deadline for abstract submission is February 17, 2014.
