Symposium E: Processing/Properties Structural Composite Materials The motivation of his Symposium is establishing a forum for researchers and engineers from structural composite area, material suppliers, manufacturers to: 1) bring together well-known experts and promising innovators from institution, industry, and academia, to facilitate knowledge sharing and to help identify opportunities for further partnerships, 2) report and review state-of- the-art developments on composites area. Composite materials have unique advantages over monolithic materials, such as high strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, and adaptability to the intended function of the structure. Significant achievements have been made in the design/development and application of composites in different areas, can be cited the aerospace, offshore, automotive applications. Considerable innovative research is continuing for the development of continuous fiber composites and particulate composites for the use of critical applications. The increased globalization and widespread use of information technology in the world today presents new opportunities for the growth and development of composite material research and application. Without this cooperation, not all of the benefits and potential that exist for composite materials may be fully recognized. The tentative program will involve technical sessions and poster sessions in most areas of composite materials. Technical sessions on all aspects of composite materials including, but not limited to, the following topics are expected to take place: - Developments in composite materials, processing and manufacturing. - Durability and aging (effects of temperature, moisture and chemical corrosion) - Fracture and Failure Mechanics - Industrial applications (aerospace, infrastructure, offshore, transportation and others) - Integrated design and manufacturing - Homo phase and hetero phase interfaces - Mathematical modeling - Matrices (polymeric, metallic, ceramic, hybrid)/Reinforcements - Mechanical and physical properties (fatigue, fracture, damage resistance, numerical methods, creep and viscoelastic behavior, delamination, buckling and failure in composition) - Non-destructive testing and evaluation of damage - Structural dynamics, vibration, buckling - Testing (experimental
characterization and mechanical properties) Keyword: Composites
