Esaform 2015 & Integrated design

We organize at the next Esaform conference, that will take place in April 2015 in Austria (http://www.esaform2015.at), a symposium on « Integrated design, modeling and reliability assessment in forming » or I-DMR (MS19).  The idea of this symposium is to optimize plastically formed parts obtained from a multi-step strategy, focusing on the technological processes' efficiency as well as the structural performance of the final components. You will find attached a full description of the goals of I-DMR. If some of your research activities are relevant to these topics, it would be terrific to have your contribution.  Beware of the deadline for abstract submission, 15 September 2014. Best regardsP.
