The 54th Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference (SDM) is sponsored by AIAA, ASME, ASCE, AHS, and ASC. This established annual conference is a widely acknowledged event that provides a unique forum dedicated to the latest developments in the collective disciplines of structures, structural dynamics, materials, design engineering, and survivability. This year’s presentations will address integration of fundamentals of materials development to structural design to enable accelerated materials technology transition to efficient and innovative flight-worthy aircraft and spacecraft structures.
