CALL FOR PAPERS
SOCIETY FOR EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS (SEM)
2007 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental & Applied Mechanics
(http://www.sem.org/CONF-AC-TOP.asp)
Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, June 3-6, 2007
This coming year, the SEM Biological Systems and Materials Technical
Division will be sponsoring one of four primary conference tracks, "Track 1:
Mechanical and Microstructural Analyses of Biological and Bio-inspired
Systems and Materials."
Mechanical and microstructural analyses of biological systems and materials
represent a growing area of broad interest to SEM. This track reflects our
efforts to bring together researchers interested in developing novel tools
and translating established mechanical techniques to address biological and
bio-inspired problems in society, human health, and the natural world.
Papers dealing with investigations or techniques within this area are sought
for the following sessions:
Animal Biomechanics
Bio-inspired Materials and Biomimetic Composites
Bio-MEMS or MEMS for Biological Applications
Dynamic Testing of Biological Tissues and Biomaterials
Experimental Mechanics of the Natural World
Fracture and Fatigue of Biomaterials
Hard Tissue Analysis
High Strain Rate Testing of Biological and Soft Materials
Kinematics of Motion
Nanomechanics in Nature
Optics for Biomechanics
Tracking Motion Displacement of Blood Vessels
Uncertainty in Biological Systems and Materials
It is our hope that this area will be of interest to the traditional
mechanics and materials community as well as the biological and medical
community.
Interested authors should submit a short abstract (200 words or less) by
October 16, 2006 through the SEM website (http://www.sem.org
). Accepted authors will have the opportunity to
submit a full conference paper by March 16, 2007.
