Turkey Section to host ESDA 2002

The Sixth Biennial Conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis (ESDA 2002) will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn about the latest materials, systems, equipment and methods in the international engineering systems design and analysis arena.

ASME International's Turkey Section organized ESDA 2002, which will take place July 8-11 at Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul. The conference was put together to serve as a forum for researchers and engineers to discuss, exchange and explore ideas, methods and results in conventional and contemporary topics of mechanical engineering.

The meeting was organized in cooperation with the Society's International Region XIII, ASME's Petroleum Division and Istanbul Technical University.

ESDA 2002 will feature more than 400 technical papers from 40 countries covering the areas of petroleum engineering, applied mechanics, bioengineering, applied thermo fluids, design engineering, advanced energy systems and manufacturing engineering.

Speakers will include Panos Papalambros, an ASME Fellow from the University of Michigan, who will speak on the subject of "An Enterprise Context for Design Optimization," and Noshir A. Langrana, P.E., an ASME Fellow and professor from Rutgers University, who will discuss "The Development of Patient-Specific Lumbar Spine Models and Analysis."

David J. Ewins, an ASME member from London's Imperial College, will discuss modal testing.

Sadik Kakac, from the University of Miami, will give a presentation on "The Investigation of Two-Phase Flow Dynamic Instabilities in Vertical and Horizontal In-Tube Boiling Systems."
The meeting will also feature a conference banquet on July 10, which will include the presentation "Turkish Arts Through the Ages."

Registration for ESDA 2002 is $400 for ASME members, $450 for nonmembers. Nonmember students may register for $100. ASME student members may register free.
