ICNAAM 2014; Symposium on "Analysis and Design of Multi Functional Composite Structures"

Call for Papers

On behalf of organizing committee, it gives us immense pleasure to invite you, your co-workers and students to the Symposium on Analysis and Design of Multi-Functional Composite Structures as part of the 12th International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Methematics (ICNAAM 2014) to be held at Rodos Palace, Rhodes, Greece, between 22--28 September 2014.

Symposium Synopsis

This symposium will span the broad field of multi-functional composite structures. Multi-functional composite structures are meant for performing a variety of functions apart from the primary structural function of providing strength, stiffness and stability.  Analysis and design of these materials and their structures pose additional non-trivial challenges as compared to those of conventional or traditional materials. This symposium aims at bringing together the researchers, experts and engineers in the field of multifunctional materials from designing to manufacturing to applications. It will become a platform for mutual knowledge sharing on the latest research findings across the world. As a part of the well-established ICNAAM series supported by the American Institute of Physics, this symposium invites research papers from the following fields (but not limited).

•    Linear and nonlinear mechanics of multi-functional composites
•    Constitutive modelling of multi-functional composites
•    Smart structures, adaptive structures, piezo-fiber composites
•    Coupled field analysis (mechanical – electrical – thermal – magnetic interactions)
•    Nonlinear material models
•    Optimization of multi-functional composites
•    Biomechanical applications
•    Manufacturing of multifunctional materials, etc. …
