Call for abstract for SPIE 2018 Behavior and Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials and Composites XII conference

SPIE 2018 Behavior and Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials and Composites XII (SSN04) conference will be held in Denver, Colorado, United States on March 4 to 8 2018, as a part of SPIE Smart Structures + Nondestructive Evaluation. 

Topics of interest are broadly grouped into the following categories:

• functional soft materials and structures

• mechanics of smart and multifunctional materials

• modeling and simulation of smart and multifunctional materials

• constitutive behavior: composition/structure/property relations, coupled field behaviors, micromechanics models, multiscale models, molecular dynamics

• multifunctional materials development and characterization

• multifunctional composite materials, nano-structured composite materials

• bio-functional materials and structures

• shape memory alloys (SMAs), porous SMAs

• shape memory polymers, and ionic gels

• ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs)

• single crystal and polycrystalline ferroelectrics and magnetostrictives

• ferroelectrics and electrostrictives

• magnetostrictives; galfenol

• mechanics of metamaterials

• additive manufacturing

• thin-film active materials for structural applications (e.g. flow control)

• reliability models: fracture toughness, fatigue of multifunctional and active materials.

We sincerely invite you to attend this conference. The deadline for abstract submission is Aug 21, 2017.
