ASME Congress IMECE09 Topic on the Mechanical Behavior of Nanocomposite Materials
You are invited to present your research work on the mechanical behavior of nanocomposite materials (Nov. 13-19, 2009 in Florida ). This topic will be focused on systematic mechanics experiments, modeling and simulations to solve new challenging mechanics problems such the effect of nanofiller agglomeration on the stiffness and strength reduction; interfacial stress transferring and interface strength evaluation at the nanoscale.

Abstract submission deadline: March 3, 2008
ASME IMECE08 Minisymposium on Mechanics of Nanoporous Materials
This symposium will provide a forum for researchers to discuss the most recent developments in the synthesis, characterization and applications of various nanoporous materials systems such as nanoporous thin films and coatings, with a special focus on the various mechanics issues of this special class of materials.
When: Oct. 31-Nov. 6, 2008 in Boston, MA
Deadline for abstract submission: March 3, 2008
ASME IMECE'08 Minisymposium on Recent Advances in Computational Materials Science and Multiscale Materials Modeling
The mini-symposium focuses on the link between the traditional materials modeling
and computational description of existing and new classes of materials, advanced and composite
materials and their applications. In particular, the mini-symposium is devoted to computational
characterization of material response and processing of material microstructures in the presence
of multiple temporal and spatial scales as well as multiple physical processes, and computational
Symposium Honoring Professor J. W. Hutchinson at IMECE'08 (Boston)
To coincide with this year’s IMECE in Boston, the Fracture and Failure Mechanics Technical Committee is organizing a series of sessions to honor Professor John W. Hutchinson’s seminal contributions as he moves into semi-retirement. The organizers request abstracts in contemporary research related to fracture and failure mechanics. Topics that relate to Professor Hutchinson's many past and present research activities in other areas are also welcome.
