The Soft Materials Mechanics Technical Committee would like to remind you that JULY 19^th is the deadline for presentation only abstract submission. The ASME will not extend this deadline!

webpage: https://www.asme.org/events/imece

Please consider submitting abstract to “Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids” Track (12), Topic 12-22, “Mechanics of Soft Materials”

We are excited to host sessions related to the following topics:

• Active Materials
• Mechano-Chemistry
• Mechano-Biology
• Gels
• Mechanical Characterization
• Degradation and Failure
• Adhesion
• Computational Methods
• Instabilities (specific instructions are below)
• 3D Printing of Soft Materials

We ask that all abstracts include a sentence at the end that indicates which session the abstract is intended for. For example, if you would like to present in the “3D Printing in Soft Materials” session please include the following direction at the end of your abstract, “This abstract is intended for the 3D Printed Soft Materials session.”

Abstracts focusing on Instabilities of Soft Materials should be submitted to topic 12-11: “Instabilities in Soft Matter Solids and Structures” (co-sponsored with the Instabilities TC).

The soft materials mechanics committee will participate in the “Congress-wide Symposium on Additive Manufacturing” by hosting sessions on the “3D printing of soft materials”.

Please email us with any questions or specific requests that you have.

Have a nice summer, and we will see you in Tampa!
