Call for Presentations

Symposium #342

“Mechanics of Flexible/Stretchable Electronics”

on

18th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 

(USNC/TAM 2018)

June 4-9, 2018, Chicago, Illinois, USA

As an organized symposium on the 18th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics to be held from June 4 to June 9, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago,  “Mechanics of Flexible/Stretchable Electronics” (#342) aims to provide a platform for gathering researchers to exchange and discuss the latest advances in the multidisciplinary field of flexible and stretchable electronic/photonic devices based on low dimensional materials, bio-integrated or bio-inspired electronics, origami/kirigami inspired electronics that have wide applications involving soft materials and structures. The symposium is now calling for participants who are interested in the following topics related to flexible/stretchable electronics (but not limited to):

• Methods of manufacturing, assembly and characterizations

• Fundamental mechanisms of deformation and design strategies

• Impact behavior and dynamics

• Multiphysics behavior

• Thermal managements

• Fatigue and reliabilities

• Fluid-structure interactions

• Mechanics related to healthcare applications

• Biocompatibility of implanted/biointegrated devices

Important dates include:

• November 10, 2017     Deadline of abstract submission

• December 10, 2017      Notification of acceptance

• June 4-9, 2018       Conference dates

The conference website http://sites.northwestern.edu/usnctam2018/ is now open for abstract submission. Detailed instructions for abstract submission is posted on this website. Once successfully submitted, you will receive an email notification that the abstract has been received. If you do not receive an email notification within 24 hours, contact us at usnctam2018@northwestern.edu.
