Call for abstract-ASME IMECE 2012 Track 9-35 Symposium on Integrated Structures and Materials in Advanced Technologies

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a Symposium on Mechanics of Integrated Structures and Materials in Advanced Technologies at the ASME 2012 IMECE, to be held Nov 9-15, 2012, at Houston Texas. This symposium will be the seventh in such a symposium series organized by ASME Technical Committee of Integrated Structures since IMECE 2006. We hope you can join us and continue the success of this symposium series.

Deadline of abstract submission is Monday, 27 Feb. 2012.

Topics of interests include, but not limited to the following areas: 

• Mechanics and materials in energy systems, such as Li-ion batteries and fuel cells
• Mechanics of low-dimensional carbon materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon nanoscrolls, diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films
• Mechanics of flexible and stretchable electronics
• Mechanics of materials in microelectronics
• Mechanics of electronic and photonic packaging
• Mechanics and materials in MEMS/NEMS
• Mechanics of biological and bio-inspired materials and structures

The confirmed keynote speakers in this symposium include:

Robert McMeeking (UCSB) on mechanics of energy systems

Jianmin Qu (Northwestern) on mechanics in microelectronics

John A. Rogers (UIUC) on mechanics of stretchable and flexible electronics

Xiaopeng Xu (Synopsys, Inc.) on mechanics in microelectronics

Borris I. Yakobson (Rice University) on mechanics of low dimensional carbon

Your abstracts can be submitted at:

Please select "Track 9" and then "Topic 35".

We look forward to seeing you in Houston at IMECE 2012.
