As
our Society begins its second twenty-five years, we continue our
journey to expand the knowledge, development and exploitation of
composite materials through national and international symposia and
conferences and through support of graduate education in composites
with student paper awards and student scholarships. As a Society
and as members of the materials community, it is our responsibility to
facilitate the advancement of our understanding of composite
materials. As part of that responsibility, our participation is
needed in supporting national material initiatives such as the
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) initiative that
is focused on the development of the fundamental science of
computational and experimental methods that will serve as a bridge
between the materials engineer and the component designer. The
key to ICME is the development of
process-structures-properties-performance relationships for materials
that will enable accelerated materials development and unify design and
manufacturing. The underpinnings of ICME are reflected in
ASC’s mission statement to expedite the growth of knowledge
gained from inter-disciplinary engineering and scientific research in
composite materials. The contributions of ASC members to the
advancement of composite materials are a testament to the benefits and
opportunity our society provides to facilitate networking and
collaboration with your professional and intellectual peers.
Please join us as we continue to advance our Society in support of the
needs of the composite materials community.”
