SPIE 2018 Behavior and Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials and Composites XII (SSN04) conference will be held in Denver, Colorado, United States on March 4 to 8 2018, as a part of SPIE Smart Structures + Nondestructive Evaluation.
Topics of interest are broadly grouped into the following categories:
• functional soft materials and structures
• mechanics of smart and multifunctional materials
• modeling and simulation of smart and multifunctional materials
• constitutive behavior: composition/structure/property relations, coupled field behaviors, micromechanics models, multiscale models, molecular dynamics
• multifunctional materials development and characterization
• multifunctional composite materials, nano-structured composite materials
• bio-functional materials and structures
• shape memory alloys (SMAs), porous SMAs
• shape memory polymers, and ionic gels
• ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs)
• single crystal and polycrystalline ferroelectrics and magnetostrictives
• ferroelectrics and electrostrictives
• magnetostrictives; galfenol
• mechanics of metamaterials
• additive manufacturing
• thin-film active materials for structural applications (e.g. flow control)
• reliability models: fracture toughness, fatigue of multifunctional and active materials.
We sincerely invite you to attend this conference. The deadline for abstract submission is Aug 21, 2017.
