Symposium on Microstructure - Property Relationship in 3D Printed Metals

The highly non-equilibrium and complex (thermal, mechanical, fluidics) processes in additive manufacturing lead to different microstructure and defect mechanics that is a major barrier for adaptation of this attractive manufacturing technique.

Please consider submitting an abstract to the mini-symposium on the theme "Additive Manufactured Metallic Structures" at the International Symposium on Plasticity, Damage & Fracture 2018 to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, January 3-9, 2018. The mini-symposium will focus on recent experimental, theoretical and modeling efforts to understand and identify fundamentals of deformation and damage mechanisms  for additive manufactured metals.

Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions.
