International Conference ECCOMAS SMART 2017, Madrid, Spain, on smart materials

Within the frame of the 8th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Smart Structures and Materials (SMART 2017), to be held in Madrid, Spain, on June 5-8, 2017, we are organizing minisymposium MS13 titled “Smart materials capable of recoverable inelastic strain”. 

Relevant contributions are solicited specifically in the following technical areas:

1. Modeling, simulation and experimental characterization of shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials and their composites,

2. Investigation of degradation and failure mechanisms in smart materials,

3. Design and optimization of porous, architecture, woven and knitted smart materials and their composites.

We look forward to receiving your contribution. Please mention MS13 in the title of your contribution, to be submitted online through the conference website:  http://congress.cimne.com/smart2017/frontal/default.asp
