Atomistic Effects in Migrating Interphase Interfaces - Recent Progress and Future Study
Atomistic motion of migrating interfaces is one of the most fundamental issues for understanding mechanisms of phase transformations. Recent progress in experimental and theoretical studies on interfacial structure and chemistry is significant particularly because of application of advanced analytical techniques as well as computational materials science. In this symposium, progress in theoretical treatments; such as development of improved models and experimental study on kinetics, structure and chemistry are introduced.

Materials Design Approaches and Experiences III
This symposium is a continuation of two previous symposia on the same subject held at TMS annual meetings in 2001 (Indianapolis) and 2006 (San Antonio). In this regard, it serves as a periodic review of the state-of-the-art development on the subject. Like its predecessors, the symposium will bring together materials scientists and engineers who have developed successful alloys (that have found real applications) with those who are developing new materials design methodologies/tools.

Mechanical Behavior at Nanoscale
This symposium solicits submissions from both the experimental and modeling communities whose research addresses nanoscale microstructure and geometric size, and how they control mechanical properties and deformation behavior. New experimental approaches of interest include in situ experiments, where the evolution of microstructural characteristics may be monitored during mechanical loading, and traditional mechanical testing methods used in conjunction with nanoscale sample geometries or microstructures. Modeling efforts of interest include ab initio calculations of strength, atomistic simulations of deformation mechanisms, dislocation dynamics simulations of finite volumes, and modeling of nanoscale deformation behavior. Investigations coupling experiments and modeling are especially encouraged and the organizers will endeavour to bridge modeling and experimental submissions within single sessions.
