Call For Abstracts: 2016 SES symposium D-4 on " Mechanics in Manufacturing, Synthesis and Processing of Materials, Structures and Devices "

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting abstract (s) to the Symposium D-4"Mechanics in Manufacturing, Synthesis and Processing of Materials, Structures and Devices" at the 2016 SES meeting, to be held in the University of Maryland-College Park During October 2-5, 2016.

Abstract due: June 15, 2016.

---

Topics of interest include:

(1) Mechanics in manufacturing under extreme conditions (e.g. liquid environment, laser/nuclear radiation, high temperature/pressure, rapid phase transformation, constrained exploration)

(2) Mechanics-guided unusual techniques of manufacturing, synthesis, processing and fabrication (e.g. self-assembly, rapid evaporation and sublimation, transfer printing, crack/buckling/delamination-driven templating, collapse of soft materials)

(3) Mechanical properties and functionalities of materials, structures and devices manufactured via advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g. Additive manufacturing, self-assembly, Electrospinning,   Nano-rolling/joining technologies)

(4) Modeling and simulation of mechanics and materials deformation in manufacturing,  synthesis and processing of advanced materials and structures

We look forward to your submission!

Best regards

Organizers: Baoxing Xu (University of Virginia); Weiyi Lu (Michigan State University); Xianqiao Wang (University of Georgia); Horacio Espinosa (Northwestern University); Xiaodong (Chris) Li (University of Virginia)
