The purpose of this symposium is to bring together experts in computational mechanics, composite sciences and technology to exchange results in modeling and simulation of manufacturing and its influence on the behavior of composite structures. Researchers from academia and industry alike are welcome to present their work, engage and share ideas with other researchers who will take part in this exciting congress. Particular areas of interest for the session include (but not limited to):

1) Modeling of the process of composite structures: autoclave, resin transfer molding, injection molding, etc.
2) Modeling the influence of the processing conditions and the service performances of the processed composite products.
3) Multiscale damage mechanics in machining of composite: cutting, drilling, milling, waterjet, laser, etc.
4) Computational mechanics in joining of composite structure: bolting, riveting, adhesion, interference joining, cure joining, etc.
5) Corrosion behavior of composite structure in extreme environments.
