Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session on 3D Printed Soft Materials at the ASME 2016 IMECE to be held from November 11 to November 17, 2016 in Phoenix, AZ.
Deadline for abstract submission is July 15th.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, offers unique opportunities to explore novel properties and mechanics of soft materials. This session calls papers from research efforts related to soft materials with novel properties realized or created using 3D printing techniques. Specific topics of interest include, but not limited to
- Soft metametarials with novel properties, such as acoustic properties, negative Poisson’s ratio, etc.
- Printed active composites that achieve its actuation through spatially controlling the allocation of soft active materials
- Novel printing technologies with improved accuracy or with new printable materials
- Design theory or methodology for soft materials that will be realized through 3D printing
- Mechanics of 3D printed materials, such as their constitutive behaviors and fracture behaviors
- Applications of printed soft materials
- Use the same email address for abstract submission and registration.
- You can submit your abstract online here: http://www.asmeconferences.org/IMECE2016/Author/NewAbstract.cfm
Please feel free to contact [ howon.lee at rutgers.edu ] if you have any question. Thank you for your consideration.
