Preface

International Conference on Advances in Materials and Manufacturing Applications – 2018 (IConAMMA - 2018) emphasized on the most recent advances and developments in the field of design and manufacturing process using experiments with high precision equipment's and computational techniques. In this regard, IConAMMA – 2018 was organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Amrita University, Bengaluru campus during 16^th - 18^th August, 2018.

The conference focused on the recent developments in the field of Mechanical Sciences applied to Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. In addition to contributory papers, the conference has invited renowned experts for delivering keynote addresses/special lectures in the field of Mechanical Sciences. There is an increasing awareness of the benefits of the development and utilization of advanced materials and structures in applications ranging from hydrospace to aerospace. With the ability to respond autonomously to changes in their environment, smart systems can offer a simplified approach to the control of various material and system characteristics. Mechanistic understanding from any discipline is the route to the development of materials with capabilities beyond those currently available. The conference is aimed at creating a cross disciplinary summit that transcends departmental, institutional, industrial, public and private research organizational and global barriers and lends itself to the integration of research and education in the vital field of advanced materials. This conference is dedicated to bring up substantial discussions on major sectors of advanced processing, material characterization, modeling and simulation, properties, performance and device fabrication.
