CHAPTER NEWS
ASM Handbook
Volume 17 is being significantly
updated with expanded coverage on signal processing,
general material-state awareness (not just cracks), in-line
process control, automation, and all levels of modeling
and reliability analysis. New coverage, examples, and case
studies are sought for all types of NDE methods, metallic
and nonmetallic materials, and product-form applications.
Major topics areas include visual and optical techniques;
thermography; acoustic techniques; ultrasound; radiog-
raphy; neutron inspection; nondestructive evaluation of
manufactured products and components; and quantitative
nondestructive evaluation and life assessment.

Tribology is a multidisciplinary field that includes
diverse fields such as mechanical design, lubrication, con-
tact mechanics, fluid dynamics, surface chemistry, sol-
id-state physics, and materials science and engineering.
ASM Handbook,
Volume 18 is being updated as a basic
resource on the physical fundamentals, testing and anal-
ysis, materials selection, and field diagnosis of tribology
problems. Editors are seeking contributors for updated new
and expanded coverage on solid friction; lubricants and
lubrication; wear mechanics; wear testing and character-
ization; wear monitoring and diagnosis; friction and wear
of components; friction and wear of materials; and surface
treatments and coatings for friction and wear control.
Second Issue of Shape Memory
Journal Now Online
The second issue of
Shape Memory and Superelasticity:
Advances in Science and Technology
is now available online.
Shape Memory and Superelasticity
is the official journal of The Interna-
tional Organization on Shape Memory
and Superelastic Technologies, an
affiliate society of ASM International.
This new online quarterly journal is
available free of charge for the first
two years of publication and presents
original papers on shape memory
materials in physics, crystallography, materials science,
thermomechanical testing, and more. It also covers uses in
micromechanics, constitutive modelling, mathematics and
microstructures, smart materials, and multiferroics. The
first two issues are available at
http://link.springer.com/ journal/volumesAndIssues/40830.
Shape Memory and Superelasticity
invites original
peer-reviewedpapers that focusonshapememorymaterials
research with contributions from materials science, mate-
rials engineering, experimental and theoretical mechan-
ics, mathematics, and physics. For more information, visit

Leadership Days Celebrates
ASM’s Chapter Network
Leadership Days 2015 took place July 16-19 in Cleve-
land, attended by 79 volunteer delegates representing 57
ASM Chapters from three countries. Volunteers attended
various training sessions related to strengthening Chapter
involvement in ASM’s Strategic Plan. After a networking
event on Thursday, attendees were welcomed on Friday
morning by Chapter council chair Tom Ackerson and direc-
tor of sales and marketing Skip Wolfe. Several sessions were
presented with regard to operations and membership. Fol-
lowing a festive tour of Cleveland Whiskey, an awards pre-
sentation was held and 13 Chapters were recognized for
achievements in membership retention and recruitment,
student outreach, innovative programming, communica-
tions, and young professional engagement.
Leadership Days hosted 79 volunteer delegates from 57 ASM Chapters.
