ASME 2nd International Conference on Micro- and Nanosystems

2008-08-03 - 2008-08-06
New York Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge

Symposium on Applied Mechanics, Friction and Tribology of MEMS/NEMS.

The symposium organizers and the International Conference on Micro and Nanosystems Committee invite theoretical and experimental papers as well as state-of-the-art reviews and discussions of future research directions in applied mechanics, friction and tribology at the micro- and nano-scales, and their role, influence, or impact on MEMS/NEMS devices. Sample topics of interest include but not limited to the following areas:

Micro- and nano-mechanics;
Fundamentals of Nanotribology (e.g., friction, wear, adhesion, and lubrication at nanoscales);
Interfacial phenomena in MEMS/NEMS
Contact mechanics and tribology of MEMS/NEMS devices;
Micro- and nano-scale metrology;
Characterization of nano-devices and nano-materials (e.g., AFM, nano-indentation);
Tribology of nano- and biomaterials (including polymers);
Tribology of bio-medical MEMS;
Computer-based enabling technologies (e.g. visualization, optimization, imaging, prototyping) for engineering of nanostructure and special surface morphology;
Novel materials and devices with tribological advantages by design and their applications;

Submission of Draft Paper for Review: January 21, 2008; Author Notification of Acceptance: March 24, 2008; Submission of Final Paper: April 28, 2008.
