Over 250 technical papers are included in their full length within these Proceedings. A number of technical areas included papers from multiple sessions which were expanded within the actual conference program: composites processing, thermoplastics, nanotechnology development, out-of-autoclave/aerospace, composites analysis, inflatable structures, applications in automotive/ground transportation, out-of-autoclave composites/space exploration, testing/test methods, supportability, structural health monitoring, metal matrix composites and armor/ballistic materials. A large number of other traditional materials and process engineering technology areas are also covered in extensive detail with full technical papers. The technical content of these proceedings provides a summary of the current state-of-the-art of materials and their processing from an aerospace, commercial and theoretical prospective. SAMPE Publishing, 2012, Edited by Edited by M. Maher, G.M. Newaz, G. Reyes and S.W. Beckwith, ISBN 978-1-934551-12-7. SAMPE Tech 2011 Proceedings The Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) SAMPE Chapter sponsored a technical program designed for M&P professionals that showcased a compilation of about 140 presentations in six tracks that capture the theme of the conference within these Proceedings. These tracks were: nanotechnology, materials, applications, processing, testing and simulation. In the traditional M&P area, papers include topics such as: high temperature materials, adhesives, resins, bonding, joining, NDI, reinforcements, testing, sandwich construction, automated fabrication, out-ofautoclave processing and matrix science. Further, particular emphasis has been placed on material applications with papers on transportation, wind energy and aircraft applications. In the Nanotechnology area, papers include topics such as: flammability resistance, electrical and thermal properties, fabrication methods, graphene and high-performance resins. Finally, the Proceedings contain extensive information on the topics of adaptive & multifunctional structures, composite design, engineering simulation and damage tolerance. These papers present many very interesting emerging methods and technologies. The DFW area is centrally located, a fact that resulted in significant contributions to these Proceedings from many regions throughout the society. This is in addition to the contributions made by the strong base of local expertise. The combined result is a solid technical set of Proceedings worthy of addition to the knowledge base of the society. SAMPE Publishing, 2011, Edited by W. Chan, J. Koo, P. Oldroyd, P. Sears and S.W. Beckwith, ISBN 978-1-934551-10-3. SAMPE 2011 Proceedings Specific areas of technology included in these proceedings, but are not limited to: materials properties and processing, nanomaterials, tooling, thermoplastics, sandwich and foam core, adhesives, coatings, sealants and surface treatments, vacuum infusion processing, resin and liquid infusion processing, design and analysis, green and renewable materials, elevated temperature, preforms, smart materials, multifunctional materials, out-of-autoclave, repair, fire and flammability, risk management, civil infrastructure, space, recycling and reuse, ceramics, and non-destructive testing. The technical content of these proceedings truly provides a summary of the current state-of-the-art of materials and their processing from the aerospace, commercial and theoretical prospective. Leading edge technology areas are covered completely within the proceedings across a number of well-developed industries and markets, as well as industries and markets currently envisioned to be in a growth mode supporting advanced materials and process engineering.

Beckwith, ISBN 978-1-934551-11-0. 24 2010 Fall Technical Conference Proceedings An extensive collection of technical papers appropriately reflecting a variety of advanced materials and processes ranging across all levels and market applications. The primary track technology areas that these Proceedings cover, capturing the focus of the theme, were: applications, manufacturing, materials, M&P support technologies and nanotechnology. However, there are a number of obviously associated technology areas that these Proceedings cover as well. Those technical papers fall into the following supported areas: adhesion and adhesives, sandwich/ foam/core structures, carbon fiber materials, out-of-autoclave M&P, nanocomposites technology and applications, thermoplastic composites, modeling and FEA, ballistic and armor applications, aerospace/propulsion/space, green materials and processes, composite matrix chemistry, M&P advances, FST technology, joints/ joining composite structures, multifunctional materials, fatigue and fracture, high temperature resins, NDT/monitoring/repair, alternative energy/wind energy, fiber placement and filament winding, resin infusion/liquid molding, testing materials and structures, and, aligned/discontinuous fiber materials. Within the full range of topics, these SAMPE Proceedings has something for everyone involved with the composites industry. SAMPE Publishing 2010, Edited by J. Berg, D. Buckmiller, D. Fullwood, M. Miles and S.W. Beckwith, ISBN 978-1-934551-08-0. SAMPE 2010 Proceedings An extensive collection of technical papers appropriately reflecting a variety of new materials ranging from nanotechnology level through the macro level in conjunction with today’s expanding process technologies. The primary track technology areas that these Proceedings cover were: nanocomposites, adhesion and adhesive bonding, design and analysis, materials, and, manufacturing processes. However, there are a number of obviously associated technology areas that these Proceedings cover as well. Those technical papers fall into the following supported areas: repair, M&P, aircraft applications, NDE/NDI, process modeling, out-of-autoclave, thermoplastic composites, tooling, novel architecture and hybrid materials, rotorcraft, space applications, liquid molding processes, wind energy, testing, recycling, unmanned systems, textiles, ceramics and automated fiber placement. These Proceedings also reflect an excellent focus on M&P technology existing in Canada as a result of the organizing committee focus on Canadian research and advanced M&P technology. Within the full range of topics, these SAMPE Proceedings has something for everyone involved with the composites industry. These Proceedings contain over 350 technical papers. SAMPE Publishing, 2010, R. Albers, P. Hubert, and S.W. Beckwith, Editors, ISBN 978-1-934551-07-3. 2009 Fall Technical Conference Proceedings The theme of the conference reflects nicely on the papers contained within these Proceedings from the four major technology tracks: Building Blocks for Advanced Materials, General Aviation, Manufacturing and Nanotechnology. In the classic advanced composites area, papers include topics such as design and analysis of composite structures, resins technology, tooling advancements, core and sandwich materials, infusion technology, advances in manufacturing and out-of-autoclave, testing and qualification of materials, high temperature resins and composites, filament winding, filament winding/pultrusion and automated tape placement/ automated fiber placement. In the nanotechnology area, an area that has seen more interest in each succeeding year, the paper subjects include: nanofiber technology, nano-enhanced resins, nanocomposites/multifunctional materials, and 3-D nanostructured advanced composites. Because the conference was held in Wichita, the city that produces more aircraft than any other city in the world, the committee tried to solicit a very strong contribution of technical papers dealing with composite aircraft fabrication and maintenance/repair, and those are reflected heavily within these Proceedings. Within the full range of topics, these SAMPE Proceedings has something for everyone involved with the composites industry. SAMPE Journal, Volume 48, No. 5, September/October 2012
