SES 2023:Symposium 10-11:Recent Advances in Modeling Materials across Nano- and Micro-scales
We cordially invite you to present your work at our symposium titled "Recent Advances in Modeling and Simulation at Nano- and Micro-scales", as part of the 2023 Society of Engineering Science Annual Meeting (SES 2023). The meeting will be held on October 8-11, 2023 in Minneapolis, MN.
SES 2023 Symposium 9-3 - Morphing Matter: Bioinspiration, Computational Design, Fabrication, Mechanics, and Sustainability
Morphing matter includes biological and engineering materials and structures with dynamic and tunable properties such as shape, color, stiffness, texture, and density. Examples include pinecones that open when dried and close when wet, octopus that camouflages by changing body shapes, textures and colors, food that changes shapes during cooking, and smart windows that dynamically tune color and surface roughness.
