W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., April 9, 2019 — Papers are invited for the 4th ASTM International Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Materials and Parts, Oct. 8-10, 2019, Washington, D.C., USA.

To ensure the structural integrity of additive manufactured parts, there is a need for establishing process-structure-property- performance relationships. This symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding the structural integrity of materials and components fabricated using additive manufacturing with a focus on the lack of industry standards, design principles, as well as qualification and certification criteria.

The event is designed for professionals within the additive manufacturing community including industrial, academic, government and regulatory.

Topics for this symposium include, but are not limited to:
• Feedstock and materials related effects,
• Effect of influencing factors,
• Process optimization to improve performance,
• Microstructure-property predictive models,
• Multiscale modeling of the mechanical behavior,
• Fatigue, fracture, tensile, wear, corrosion, creep of fabricated materials, and more.

To participate in the symposium, authors must submit a 250-300 word preliminary abstract no later than May 15 on the symposium webpage. The abstract must include a clear definition of the objective and approach of the work discussed, pointing out material that is new, and present sufficient details regarding results.

For abstract questions, please contact Tessa Sulkes (see below). For technical information or questions, contact symposium co-chairs Nima Shamsaei (shamsaei@auburn.edu) or Mohsen Seifi (mseifi@astm.org).

The symposium is sponsored by the ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence and the ASTM International committees on additive manufacturing (F42), fatigue and fracture (E08), nondestructive testing (E07), medical and surgical materials and devices (F04), metal powders and metal powder products (B09), plastics (D20), and composite materials (D30).
