Call For Papers - 2003 Metal Powder Conferences

摘要

The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) requests technical papers for the 2003 International Conference on Nanotechnology and PM~2: Scientific Challenges and Commercial Opportunities; and the 2003 International Conference on Automotive Fatigue Design and Applications. Co-chaired by Russell A. Chernenkoff, Ford Motor Company, and William F. Jandeska Jnr, GM Global Powertrain Group, the Automotive Fatigue Design and Applications Conference will be held on 28-29 October 2003 in Novi, Michigan. The conference will provide an opportunity for exchanging new technical information on fatigue principles, design, and applications. Presentations will cover new design methods, materials, and process techniques and recent advances in fatigue testing and approaches to life prediction that improve the fatigue performance of PM materials. Suggested topics include design guidelines and philosophies, fatigue modelling, life prediction, safety factors, quality assurance, crack initiation/propagation, test methods, failure analysis, surface treatments, material design for fatigue performance/enhancements, fatigue strength, material properties, processing techniques, and applications/ case histories. The deadline for submitting abstracts of proposed technical papers is 1 April 2003.
