We are pleased to announce that the Asian Conference on Experimental Mechanics (ACEM) 2018 , will be held in Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), Xi’an, China from October 11-15, 2018. The ACEM 2018 organizing committee cordially invites you to share your recent research and experience in the development of experimental mechanics and its practical use specialties. The ACEM is a prestigious international conference held by the Asian Society of Experimental Mechanics (ACEM). The 1st ACEM was held on December 28th, 2002 at Taipei in Taiwan, China. Since that time, many scientists, engineers, scholars and industries from many regions in Asian countries have involved in the ACEM. The ACEM 2018 is the 17th conference. This conference is open to international experts from academic institutions and industrial companies. It is strongly encouraged to all participants giving contribution in research and development, interdisciplinary application and active promotion of experimental methods. In this conference, events regarding social gathering and art-techno-science entertainment are also being planned for all participants to promote Asian cultures. Experimental Mechanics is a gateway to understanding the behavior of materials, structures, and systems. Further, Experimental Mechanics provides the physics understanding and verification of analytical, computational and experimental approaches to the development of engineering and technology solutions. The ACEM 2018 conference welcomes research-based articles in all areas of Experimental Mechanics. Articles discussing emerging technologies in nano-particle, imaging, drugs mechanism, functional materials and biotechnology are also welcomed. The ACEM 2018 organizing committee enthusiastically greeting you to the ACEM 2018 in Xi’an, China from October 11-15, 2018.We hope all of you will enjoy the conference and have valuable discussions in Experimental Mechanics.
