Student Fee: ¥10,000 (before September 22, 2017),¥15,000 (after September 23, 2017)
The regular fee covers Symposium attendance, a volume of programand abstracts, a piece of CD-ROM proceedings, reception, banquet,excursion and refreshments during coffee breaks. Note that the student
fee does not cover either banquet or excursion, but registeredaccompany persons will be invited to Symposium events.

Abstracts of 300-500 words in English should be submitted online at
the Symposium website. The abstracts should contain the following:(1) Title of paper.
(2) Five keywords to describe and categorize the work.

should be directed.
(4) Names and affiliations of co-authors, if any.
(5) Background, objective, method, main findings and results.
The abstracts will be used for preliminary screening and planning forthe sessions. Accepted abstracts should be submitted in the form offull-length manuscripts for review. Final acceptance will be based onreview of the manuscripts. A bound volume of the abstracts and apiece of CD-ROM proceedings of the full-length papers will beavailable at the Symposium. Authors are invited to submit their papers
to Advanced Experimental Mechanics published by the JapaneseSociety for Experimental Mechanics. For more detailed information,please visit the JSEM Website (http://www.jsem.jp/journal/aem).

Chairperson
The Japanese Society for Experimental Mechanics (JSEM) was founded in 2001
by reorganizing the former Japan Society for Photoelasticity to extend its

covering area of Experimental Mechanics not only to Solid Mechanics but also tovarious areas of Applied Mechanics such as Fluid Mechanics, ThermalEngineering, Medical Engineering, Biomechanics, Construction and Civil
Engineering and so on. The first Symposium was successfully held in Sapporo,Japan (2006) to attain its main purpose of the new establishment. TheSymposium was subsequently held in Osaka, Japan (2007), Tainan, Taiwan(2008), Niigata, Japan (2009), Kyoto, Japan (2010), Sendai/Kansai, Japan(2011), Taipei, Taiwan (2012), Sendai, Japan (2013), New Delhi, India (2014),Matsue, Japan (2015) and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam (2016).
The present Symposium aims to promote an exchange of recent and advanced
information among scientists and engineers in the wide field of Experimental
Mechanics with special focus on Environmental, Medical and Welfare
Engineering. The Symposium is also aimed particularly at promoting
communication and collaboration between fundamental researchers and thoseengaged in the development of practical technology in respective areas ofExperimental Mechanics. This Symposium title was updated to The International
Symposium on Advanced Science and Technology in Experimental Mechanics
since the 5th ISEM'10-Kyoto, because the areas covered in the Symposium havebeen expanded as mentioned above.

We welcome papers in the following areas:(I) Fundamentals(1) Fluid Dynamics(2) Multiphase Flow
(3) Thermodynamics(4) Heat and Mass Transfer(5) Solid Mechanics / Strength of Materials(6) Material Engineering(7) Bioengineering(8) Civil Engineering(9) Sound and Vibration(10) Instrumentation and Testing(11) Visualization and Image Processing, and others(II) Applications(1) Fluid Machinery(2) Fluid Flow in Micro- and Nano-scales(3) Environmental Science and Engineering(4) Advanced Energy and Power Systems(5) Combustion Technology(6) Medical and Welfare Engineering(7) Biomechanics and Biomaterials(8) Material Processing(9) Materials Testing and Fracture Mechanics Evaluation(10) Non-destructive Testing and Inspection(11) Optical Methods, Thermal Methods and X-ray Techniques(12) Transducer and Sensor Design(13) Safety Engineering, Risk Analysis and Reliability Methods(14) Smart Materials and Structural Health Monitoring(15) MEMS and NEMS
(16) Recycling(17) Electronic Packaging(18) Prosthetics, and others

The special session on poster presentations by students of High Schools andColleges of Technology will be organized on November 3rd at 12th
ISEM'17-Kanazawa, Japan.
