In conjunction with the symposium: The Mike Meshii
Symposium on Electron Microscopy: Its Role in Materials Research
Date: Monday, March 3, 2003
Location: San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina, Del Mar Room
Time: 6:00 PM–9:30 PM
Sponsored by:
TMS Structural Materials Division and ASM International: Materials Science
Critical Technology Sector, Jt. Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Electron microscopy has played a critical role in advancing the materials
science paradigm. Direct imaging of structures at the microstructural
and nanostructural levels allows structure-property relations to become
better elucidated. This is particularly true for defects, either induced
by the microscope as radiation damage or pre-existent as initiation sites
for fatigue or phase transformations. The Mike Meshii Symposium is intended
to capture the current research activities and to assess the state-of-the-art
the use of electron microscopy to solve problems in materials science
and engineering. We are organizing a four-session symposium on electron
microscopy, specifically its role in materials research. Some examples
of what might be included in the proposed sessions are: defects and radiation
damage; fatigue; solid solution softening and; phase transformations.
We propose to dedicate this symposium in honor of Dr. Masahiro (Mike)
Meshii who will retire from Northwestern University after more than 40
years of service in September 2003. Professor Meshii has made important
contributions to the field using electron microscopy, particularly, amorphization,
galvanization, solid-solution softening and fatigue. The organizers are
planning to publish the proceedings from this symposium in a volume available
at the 2003 TMS Annual Meeting.
Dinner tickets are $60.00 and may be purchased at the TMS Conference
Registration Desk. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.
