SCOPE International Conference on Experimental Mechanics 2008 (ICEM 2008) & the Seventh Asian Conference on Experimental Mechanics (ACEM7) will be held in NANJING, China, November 8-11, 2008. As a series of conferences sponsored by Asian Committee for Experimental Mechanics we hope it can attract researchers and engineers to discuss new developments in the board area of experimental mechanics. These cover all aspects of optical methods and techniques, Nano and Micro testing, hybrid concept and methods, biomaterials and bioengineering, smart materials and structures, residual stresses, NDT/NDE, etc.
