Welcome
dear smasIs attendee:
We welcome you to the eighth annual meeting of the asme smart materials, adaptive structures, and
Intelligent systems conference (smasIs). as in the years past, our goal is to provide a friendly, casual
forum for the exchange of ideas and latest results. our sincere appreciation goes to all the presenters for
choosing to share their very best work at this conference.
smasIs is divided into seven symposia, which span basic research, applied technological design and
development, and industrial and governmental integrated system and application demonstrations:
symposium 1: development and characterization of multifunctional materials
symposium 2: mechanics and behavior of active materials
symposium 3: modeling, simulation and control of adaptive systems
symposium 4: Integrated system design and Implementation
symposium 5: structural Health monitoring
symposium 6: bioinspired smart materials and systems
symposium 7: energy Harvesting
as in the past, we will continue our tradition of honoring the asme adaptive structures prize winner,
seung-bok choi of Inha university, who will deliver a keynote presentation.
We have exhibits on monday with participating companies followed by dinner, networking lunches on
tuesday and Wednesday, and a special banquet at the royal Gorge route railway tuesday evening. We
hope that these social events provide you the opportunity to expand your own personal community and
broaden your horizons.
smasIs is dedicated to developing future leaders in science, technology and engineering. this is an sincerely,
emphasis of our student and young professional development group. Highlights of their symposium are
the two student competitions on monday with the best paper competition in the morning and Hardware
competition in the afternoon. additionally, several student events are planned to provide networking. We
are very proud that our students and young professionals are always seeking ways to give back to the
community. this year they are reaching out to students from local high schools, who will be introduced to
the ield of smart materials and inspired by the hardware Competition exhibits. please take advantage of
these opportunities to see our rising stars, and to meet your future colleagues and our future leaders!

the planning for this conference has been a signiicant team efort including members of the ASMe General chair
aerospace division adaptive structures and material systems branch. our executive committee provided north carolina state university
tremendous support and guidance and we could not have proceeded without all the contributions of the
symposium chairs, co-chairs, and organizing committees. our thanks go to them for assembling such
outstanding technical programs. We also recognize all the authors, keynote and invited speakers, and
panel participants who are the major contributors to the success of smasIs. finally, we have received
generous support from our sponsors: dynalloy, Inc., eto Gruppe, General motors, Iop publishing, parker
hanniin, Sage publishing, and teledyne, all of which is sincerely appreciated.
We want to thank each of you for participating in this event and coming back each year with your best Michael Philen
work. to those of you we know personally, we look forward to seeing you again. and to those of you we technical chair 3
have yet to meet, we look forward to making your acquaintance and to insightful technical discussions. virginia tech
