Following the great success of the 24th ASC Annual Technical Conference (
the First Joint US-Canada Conference on Composites) held at the University of
Delaware in September 2009, the 26th ASC Annual Technical Conference (the Second Joint US-Canada
Conference on Composites) will be held in Montreal September 26-
28, 2011. This marks the continuing effort in collaborative
research between the two countries. This
is jointly sponsored by the American Society for Composites
(ASC) and the Canadian Association for Composite
Structures and Materials (CACSMA).
The organizing committee has chosen the theme of the
joint conference to be: “Composite Materials and Structures:
The Way Forward” to show the importance of
composites in the construction of innovative engineering
structures such as aircraft structures, space structures,
automobiles, wind turbines, sports equipment,
bridges, etc. In particular it will reflect the state of the
art in computational, analytical, and experimental
methods and advanced engineering applications in
emerging technology such as bioproducts, nanoscience
and nanotechnology. The organizing committee is preparing
for an exciting and informative conference program,
including plenary lectures, symposia on a variety
of topics, and poster presentations. A social program
will also be organized so that participants will have opportunities
to experience the unique aspects of French
culture within the North American context. |
