Invitation
The Asian-Australasian Association for Composite Materials
(AACM) was founded in 1997 to encourage the free exchange
of information on composite materials which are of interest
to the scientific and engineering communities.
The association has been instrumental in the advance- ment
of composite science and technologies. It has made a great
stride toward the provision of an Asian-Australasian-wide
discussion forum as evidenced by the number of successful
meetings held so far.
The 1st Asian-Australasian Conference on Composite
Materials (ACCM-1) held in October 1998 at Osaka was
sponsored by the Committee on Composite Materials of the
Society of Materials Science, Japan (JSMS), and School of
Engineering of Osaka University. Thereafter, ACCM
conferences were held with unprecedented successes
in Kyongju-Korea (August 2000), Auckland-New Zealand
(July 2002), Sydney- Australia (July 2004) and Hong Kong
(November 2006). This time, the Committee on Composite
Materials of JSMS is happy to host again the 6th Asian-
Australasian Conference on Composite Materials (ACCM-6)
at Kumamoto, Kyushu, in September 2008.
The ACCM-6 is aimed at providing a forum for profound
discussions as well as sharing ideas on various technologies
concerning every aspect of composite materials and
structures.
Finally, ACCM-6 will also serve as an international liaison
between engineers and scientists working in the field of
composite materials.
