IConAMMA Abstract

Abstract

International Conference on Adva.nces in Materia.ls and Ma.nufa.ctu.ring Applications - 2016 (IConAMMA - 2016) emphasized on the recent advances and developments in the field of design and manufacturing process using experiments with high precision equipments and computational techniques. In this regard, IConAMMA - 2016 was organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, Bengaluru campus during 14th - 16th July, 2016.The conference focused on the recent advances in the field of Mechanical Sciences applied to Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. In addition to contributory papers, the conference has invited renowned experts for delivering keynote addresses/special lectures in the field of Mechanical Sciences. There is an increasing awareness of the benefits of the development and utilization of advanced materials and structures in applications ranging from hydrospace to aerospace. With the ability to respond autonomously to changes in their environment, smart systems can offer a simplified approach to the control of various material and system characteristics. Mechanistic understanding from any discipline is the route to the development of materials with capabilities beyond those currently available. The conference is aimed at creating a cross disciplinary summit that transcends departmental, institutional, industrial, public and private research organizational and global barriers and lends itself to the integration of research and education in the vital field of advanced materials. This conference is dedicated to bring up substantial discussions on major sectors of advanced processing, material characterization, modeling and simulation, properties, performance and device fabrication.Scope of the ConferenceThe role of manufacturing in the country's economy and societal development has long been established through their wealth generating capabilities. To enhance and widen our knowledge of materials and to increase innovation and responsiveness to ever-increasing international needs, more in-depth studies of functionally graded materials/ tailor-made materials are needed at present. The objective of this conference is to bring together experts from academic institutions, industries and research organizations and professional engineers for sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience in the emerging trends related to advanced materials processing, and characterization.The conference is structured as follows: plenary lectures followed by parallel sessions. The plenary lectures introducing the theme of the conference will be delivered by eminent personalities of international repute to introduce the theme of the conference. Each parallel session starts with an invited talk on specific topic followed by contributed papers. Papers are invited from the prospective authors from industries, academic institutions and R&D organizations and from professional engineers.AcknowledgementsIConAMMA - 2016 thank the Management of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, our Director of Bengaluru Campus Br.
