Symposium 9.12  Pushing Materials Mechanics for Extreme Thermo-Mechanical-Environmental Conditions

Organizers

Yanfei Gao, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Sam Sham, Idaho National Laboratory
Ankit Srivastava, Texas A&M University
Alan Needleman, Texas A&M University

Description

Materials scientists and engineers have developed grand successes in understanding the processing-microstructure-property relationship that enables superior strengths, adequate ductility and toughness, and excellent thermomechanical integrity. The current research needs as identified by basic research and industrial practices is to direct and design materials for extremes, particularly high temperature, corrosive and oxidation environment, and irradiation conditions. The aging infrastructure in petrochemical and energy conversion industries faces challenges in lifetime predictions, extension, and mitigation studies.   This symposium will serve as a venue for researchers from mechanics and materials science backgrounds to exchange ideas and perspectives on the status, gaps, and future needs.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

• issues in the development of mechanics framework for high temperature alloys; 
• structural integrity in engineering and industrial setting; 
• creep-fatigue-oxidation coupling; engineering codes and standards; 
• welding and additive manufacturing; 
• methods to reach extreme properties.
