Division Chair's Address

93rd Chair: Dr. Satoshi Kishimoto (NIMS)

Welcome to the homepage of Materials and Processing (M&P) Division of JSME. M&P division was launched in 1991 as one of 18 divisions in JSME. Since then, we have been committed to the exchange of scientific and technological knowledge in the field of materials and processing, which covers not only mechanical materials and materials processing, but also characteristics & evaluation as well as utilization technology. We will continue unremittingly with our effort to contribute to the development of this research field.

In this fiducial year, we will have four events. These are three conferences and a lecture meeting and a party commemorating the 25th anniversary of this division. For the conference, one is the 5th Asian Symposium on Materials and Processing (ASMP2015) at Lombok Raya Hotel, Indonesia in this August. Another is the JSME Annual Meeting 2015, including a technical forum by a new research group on 3D printing, which began in our division two year ago. This meeting will be held at Hokkaido University in this September. We will be organizing several sessions and some special programs at this meeting. The other is the conference of Materials and Processing (M&P2015) at Hiroshima University in this September. Finally, it is very glad for me to inform you that we will have a lecture meeting and a party commemorating the 25th anniversary of this division at Meiji Kinenkan in Tokyo on March 28, 2016. I would like to ask you to join these conference, meeting and party.

The Lecture Meeting "M&P Salon" and the Short Course "Let's learn once again about the Engineering Materials -Basic Lecture for Young Mechanical Engineers-" will be held regularly. Please join us!
