| About This Special Plenary |
New materials development is at a crucial stage of evolution, with integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and new data sharing
breakthroughs paving the way to remarkable time and cost reductions in product deployment. The aerospace industry, in particular, is a demonstrated
leader in accelerating materials innovation.
Through a series of cutting edge case studies, “Reaching New Heights: Materials Innovation in the Aerospace Industry” offered insights that can be applied
to many aspects of product manufacturing, with significant impact on economic security and the race to heightened competitiveness. This special plenary
session of the TMS 2012 Annual Meeting and Exhibition was moderated by Charles Ward, chief of the Metals, Ceramics, & Nondestructive Evaluation Division,
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, and editor, Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation (IMMI). The program was presented in cooperation with
Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation (IMMI), TMS’s new Open Access journal.
