The 49th Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference (SDM)
The 49th Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference (SDM): Multifunctional Structures and Materials—Challenges and Opportunities, is sponsored by AIAA, ASME, ASCE, AHS, and ASC. This established conference is a widely acknowledged annual event that provides a unique forum dedicated to the latest development in the collective disciplines of structures, structural dynamics, materials, design engineering, and survivability. SDM will also host the 16th Adaptive Structures Conference, the 10th Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference, the 9th Gossamer Spacecraft Forum, and the 4th Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Specialist Conference. Plenary presentations given by recognized, forward-thinking invited speakers will be a special feature of the conference. This year, these presentations will be organized around the subject of multifunctional structures and materials and their potential applications in future generations of air and space vehicles.

16th AIAA/ASME/AHS Adaptive Structures Conference
The Adaptive Structures Conference, sponsored by AIAA, ASME, and AHS, is the chief conference focused on the advancement of adaptive structures technology and its application to aerospace systems. This conference brings together basic and applied researchers from diverse disciplines.

10th AIAA Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference (NDA)
The need for Non-Deterministic Approaches to address uncertainty is becoming increasingly recognized within the aerospace industry. These approaches, which include both probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods, address high consequence of failure events associated with the development and operation of aerospace systems. For nearly a decade, this topic has been explored through a series of forums and conferences dedicated to the development of NDA methods and associated applications.

9th AIAA Gossamer Spacecraft Forum
An emerging class of large-scale, lightweight structures is enabling a paradigm shift in design, launch, and operation of spaceflight systems. Spacecraft with structural characteristics optimized for operation in space and for the ability to collapse into small packages for launch yield order-of magnitude reductions in mass, launch volume, and life-cycle cost of large spaceflight systems. The Gossamer Spacecraft Forum provides an opportunity to discuss recent research findings and newly proposed concepts emerging from this technology.

46th AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Conference(MDO)
MDO focuses on optimizing the performance and reducing the costs of complex systems that involve multiple interacting disciplines, such as those found in aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles, industrial manufacturing equipment, and various consumer products, as well as on the development of related methodologies. MDO encompasses design synthesis, sensitivity analysis, approximation concepts, optimization methods and strategies, artificial intelligence, and rule-based design—all in the context of integrated design dealing with multiple disciplines, and interacting subsystems or systems of systems.
