Honorary Symposium for Prof. K.K. Chawla: Fibers, Foams and Composites Science and Engineering

由K.K. Chawla教授主持的荣誉研讨会：纤维、泡沫和复合材料——科学与工程，将于2011年10月16日至20日在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行的2011年材料科学与技术会议与展览会（MS&T 11）上举行。该研讨会被MS&amp；T规划委员会选为MS&amp；T 2011年唯一一个被指定为“荣誉”研讨会。这是对Krishan Chawla教授长期以来对所有类型复合材料的杰出贡献的致敬。MS&amp；T会议预计将有大约3500人出席，其中包括来自美洲、欧洲和亚洲的与会者。所有类型的研究机构（学术界、政府和工业研究实验室）都将有代表参加。研讨会将把研究人员聚集在一个非正式的环境中，有充足的时间进行讨论和互动。一年一度的MS&amp；T会议由四大主要材料学会合作组织，包括矿物金属材料学会（TMS），钢铁技术协会（AIST），美国金属学会（ASM）国际和美国陶瓷学会（ACerS），汇集了材料界的专业成员进行互动。本次国际研讨会将涉及专家，他们将介绍复合材料和泡沫的加工，界面，力学行为和性能的最新发展。鼓励学生参与，以帮助培养未来几代复合材料科学家和工程师。

The Honorary Symposium for Prof. K.K. Chawla: Fibers, Foams, and Composites - Science and Engineering, to be held at the Materials Science & Technology 2011 Conference and Exhibition (MS&T 11) October 16-20, 2011 in Columbus, OH, was selected by the MS&T programming committee as the only symposium at MS&T 2011 to be designated as an "honorary" symposium. It is a tribute to Prof. Krishan Chawla's longstanding and distinguished contributions to all types of composite materials. The MS&T conference is expected to have an attendance of approximately 3,500, including participants from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. All types of research institutions (academia, government, and industrial research laboratories) will be represented. The symposium will bring together researchers in an informal setting with ample time for discussion and interaction. The annual MS&T conference is organized cooperatively by four leading materials societies, including The Minerals Metals & Materials Society (TMS), Association for Iron and Steel Technologies (AIST), American Society for Metals (ASM) International, and The American Ceramic Society (ACerS), bringing together professional members of the materials community to interact. This international symposium will involve experts who will present the latest developments in processing, interfaces, mechanical behavior, and properties of composites and foams. Participation by students will be encouraged, in order to help foster future generations of composites scientists and engineers.
