[交流] Call for papers: Nanostructured Materials Symposium 2014 ASME IMECE

CALL FOR PAPERS Track 11 Materials: Genetics to Structures Topic 11-2 Nanostructured Materials 2014 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition Montreal, Canada, November 14-20, 2014 The Multifunctional Materials Committee under the Materials Division is sponsoring a nanostructured materials symposium at the 2014 IMECE, Montreal, Canada. The interest in emerging nanostructured materials is growing exponentially since they are the fundamental building blocks for continuous technology advancement. A broad and deep understanding is needed for characterizing the mechanical properties of materials, structures, processes, as well as investigating the deformation and failure mechanisms at the micro- and nano- length scales. This symposium is for researchers to exchange ideas at the frontier of material mechanics at small length scales. Speakers will present fundamental work that covers experiment, theory and/or computation. Abstracts, presentations and/or manuscripts are solicited in the following topics including but not limited to: •        Nano-functional materials (low-dimensional/core-shell nanoobjects, nanoporous materials and nanocomposites) •        Multi-scale simulation and experiment of material behavior •        Micro/nanostructure evolution during thermal and electrical processes •        Micro/nanoindentation •        Size-effect and strain gradient theories and experiments •        Structure-properties relationship at the micro/nano scale •        Fracture and fatigue at atomistic scale •        Mechanics occurred in micro- and nanofabrication processes •        Nano-actuators, sensor systems, and devices Prospective authors should refer to the following schedule for submissions. Authors are directed to the ASME congress website (http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2014/) for updated deadlines and required online submission guidelines. Publication Schedule Abstract Submission:  February 17, 2014 Submission of Full-Length Draft Paper for Review: April 14, 2014 Submission of Final Paper: July 28, 2014 Organizers: Xinnan Wang (xinnan.wang@ndsu.edu), Department of Mechanical Engineering, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND. Yong Zhu (yong_zhu@ncsu.edu), Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
