AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE ECSSMMT

The 11^th European Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Mechanical Testing Conference (SSMMT) will give the opportunity for members of the relevant mechanical engineering disciplines to exchange experience and information, specifically related to spacecraft vehicle development, materials applications and mechanical testing.

The major themes addressed during this conference will be:

• Mechanical Architecture, Design and Engineering
• Structural Dynamics and Microvibrations
• Mechanical Testing
• Random & Acoustics
• Structural Materials applications
• Thermo-elastically Stable structures
• Active Structures
• Inflatable/Deployable Structures
• Stochastic Analysis
• Shock
• Composite Structures

In addition, a poster session, round tables, and workshops sessions may be arranged for open discussion on specific topics.

CNES is thus organising this 11^th ECSSMMT along with ESA and DLR in order to improve our knowledge and optimise Space missions.
