EMMC15 - Functional and Architectured Materials [deadline: March 30th, 2016]

Dear Colleagues,

15th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC15) will be held in Brussel, Belgium, during 7 – 9 Sentember, 2016. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a session (S7) to bring together experts in modelling, simulation, manufacturing and experimental investigation in the field of functional and architectured materials to present and discuss recent advances. Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)

• Electro- and magneto-active elastomers
• Shape-memory and light-sensitive materials
• Acoustic metamaterials
• Responsive gels and Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMC)
• Ferroic materials
• Microstructural and material instabilities
• Soft biological tissues and bio-inspired materials
• 3D printing of architecture materials and composites
• Selective Laser Melting (SLM) processes

Abstract submission deadline is March 30th, 2016

We look forward to meeting you in Brussel next September
