Strength and Fracture Standards at Micro and Nano Scales Workshop
 Home » All ACerS Meetings » Daytona 2008 » Needs and Opportunities for Strength and Fracture Standards at Micro and Nano Scales
Sunday, January 27, 2008
Organized by ASTM Committee C 28, Advanced Ceramics, and The American Ceramic Society
The explosion of interest in micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) and nano-scaled structural devices and components has generated a demand for well-defined procedures and methods to evaluate their mechanical properties, particularly strength and fracture resistance. Without detailed, reliable, consensus-based test standards, the global nanomaterials community cannot effectively exchange the technical information required for rapid progress and commercialization of MEMS and NEMS.
This workshop discusses the current state-of-the-art of strength and fracture resistance measurement methodologies for miniature test specimens and devices. The structure of the workshop features short oral presentations about current activities and test methods under development, followed by a round-table discussion. Needs and opportunities for future work will be identified as well as topics suitable for pre-standardization and standardization activities.
This workshop is open to conference attendees of the 32nd International Conference and Exhibition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites and ASTM meeting attendees at no additional charge.
