Abstract due date: 7/15/01

This is the first of a series of annual TMSsymposia focusing on the computationalthermodynamics and kinetics of phasetransformations. Its main objective is tobring together computational materials sci-entists to assess the current status of com-putational thermodynamics and kinetics,and discuss the possibilities of integratingmodels at different time and spatial scalesas applied to phase transformations andthe accompanying microstructure evolu-tion. The computational models that areof interest include, but are not limited to,phase equilibria calculations using first-principles and CALPHAD approaches,and dyncamic simulations using one or moreof the following: Monte-Carlo, microscopicmaster equations, phase-field models, aswell as models based on traditional sharp-interface descriptions. Of particular inter-est are computational models that integratetwo or more different approaches andanalyses that compare two or more differ-ent approaches, involve simulations withexperimental verifications, and discuss theapplications and limitations of a particularcomputational model. Six sessions are an-ticipated with a number of invited speak-ers for each session.

David L. Davidson Symposium on High-Cycle Fatigue

Sponsored by: Structural Materials Divi-sion, ASM International: Materials ScienceCritical Technology Sector, Jt. Mechani-cal Behavior of Materials

Abstract due date: 7/1/01

High-cycle fatigue has become a major con-cern in the design and lifing of engineeringcomponents and structures. This concernhas led to increased research activities inhigh-cycle fatigue, including basic under-standing of failure mechanisms, develop-ment of new experimental techniques,analysis methods, and life-prediction meth-ods. The proposed symposium is intendedto capture the current research activitiesand to assess the state-of-the-art in thehigh-cycle fatigue arena. We propose toorganize a four-session symposium onhigh-cycle fatigue. Some examples of whatmight be included in the proposed sessionsare (1) basic understanding of failure mecha-nisms, (2) experimental methods and stud-ies, (3) modeling and simulation, and (4)life-prediction methodology. This sympo-sium is organized in honor of Dr. David LDavidson who made very significant con-tributions in fatigue, and retired from South-west Research Institute in February 1999,after thirty years of service. Authors ofaccepted papers will be notified by July15, 2001. The due date for submitting thepapers to one of the organizers is August31, 2001.

Sponsored by: Structural Materials Divi-sion, Structural Materials Committee, Ti-tanium Committee

Abstract due date: 7/1/01

High performance structural materials areused in an ever-increasing array of prod-ucts that are highly cost-sensitive. Thesecost-sensitive applications span several in-dustries, including automobile, aerospace,energy production, and consumer productsindustries. In order to maintain competi-tiveness, improved materials and process-ing technologies are critical to maintaininghigh performance while reducing acquisi-tion and life-cycle costs. For example, ti-tanium has continued to be one of the mostcostly, but widely-utilized, high perfor-mance metallic materials for which cost re-duction is of critical importance. Alumi-num alloys have made significant inroadsinto automobile manufacturing thanks inlarge part to acquisition cost reductionsand greater efficiency in processing andforming technologies. This symposiumwill examine recent advances and best prac-tices in structural materials selection, de-sign, and manufacturing for producing af-fordable components, emphasizing tita-nium, aluminum, and other advanced me-tallic materials. Focal areas include melt-ing, casting, powder metallurgy, forging,forming, extrusion, and machining. Topicsof particular interest include processing ad-vances, innovative processing techniques,

process modeling and materials by design,new alloys as well as related processing-microstructure-properties-performance-cost studies. Written papers are solicitedto be published as proceedings.

Shear Banding in Materials

Sponsored by: ASM International: Mate-rials Science Critical Technology Sector,

Abstract due date: 7/15/01

Shear banding is a dominant failure modein many advanced materials, such as me-tallic glasses, nanostructured metals, amor-phous polymers, and structural metals (in-cluding high strength aluminum alloys). Afundamental understanding of shear bandmechanisms is necessary to control thephenomena, and to continue the techno-logical development of these materials. Thissymposium seeks to explore the similari-ties and differences in shear banding be-havior within these different materialclasses. Experimental, theoretical, andmodeling studies are all welcome.

Water Vapor Effects on Oxidation ofHigh-Temperature Materials

Sponsored by: ASM International: Mate-rials Science Critical Technology Sector,Structural Materials Division, Corrosion andEnvironmental Effects Committee

Abstract due date: 7/15/01

Water vapor is a constituent in combustionand other high-temperature environments.Its influence on high-temperature corrosionand environmental effects has long been rec-ognized, but, over the past few years, vari-ous effects of water vapor on the degrada-tion of metallic and ceramic materials havedrawn increasing intense scientific and tech-nological interest. Accordingly, this sym-posium will serve as a forum for investiga-tors studying effects of water vapor on high-temperature oxidation in order to understandunderlying mechanisms and predict mate-rial performance under a variety of envi-ronmental conditions (low to high watervapor concentrations/pressures, tempera-ture cycling, influence of other reactive spe-cies, etc.). Papers describing work with met-als/alloys as well as ceramics will be in-cluded. A post-symposium proceedingsvolume is planned. Submit abstracts elec-tronically at http://cms.tms.org or to: PeterF.
