- smart composites including self-healing or health monitoring capabilities
- multi-functional composites
- Green and environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques
- Design for automated and additive manufacturing
Division Activities:
- Solicit papers in the area of Design and Manufacturing of composite materials and structures.
- Evaluate papers nominated by the session chairs of DM and recommend one or two papers for the ASC Best Paper Award.
- Host the annual division meeting during the ASC Technical Conference.
- Facilitate discussion regarding future session topics.
- Organize new sessions at the ASC technical conference.
- Facilitate collaborations between industry and academia through networking opportunities at special sessions and division meetings.
- Chair the Solvay Award committee
- If called upon, provide support to the organizing committee of ASC technical meetings.
