1st International Workshop on Martensitic
Microstructures
Dates: June 4-5, 2018
Location: University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Organizers:
Richard D. James , Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics, University of Minnesota
Hanuš Seiner, Institute of Thermomechanics, Czech Academy of Sciences
The first International Workshop on Martensitic Microstructures (IWMμ) will be held on June 4-5 at the University of Minnesota. The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars and students from three institutions: the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis), the Czech Academy of Sciences (Prague), and the Christian-Albrechts-Universität (Kiel), and to foster their collaboration on the topics related to active materials, martensitic transitions, and shape memory alloys.
Important deadlines:
Presenting authors are asked to send the title of their talk and possibly also a short abstract to Hanuš Seiner (hseiner@it.cas.cz) by May 30.
The organizers thank the J. William Fulbright Commission (Prague), the Institute on the Environment (UMN) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Kiel) for supporting this workshop.
