FINAL- ANNOUNCEMENT

I as Founder, President and Chairman of International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials

(ICRACM) series wish to put on record my grateful thanks to the entire participant who have shown their keen interest in

the theme of the conference. Since, advanced composites are enabling materials for a number of demanding energy

efficient and eco-friendly applications in aerospace, power generation, and ground transportation, nuclear and chemical

industries. These materials have unique properties such as high strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, and

adaptability to the intended functions. Significant achievements have been made worldwide in the design, development,

manufacturing, and application of these materials in recent years and considerable innovative research is still continuing

to address technical and economic challenges.

The worldwide participation and recognition led to grand success of the each series of International Conference on Recent

Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM), which were held at various places; ICRACM-2004 held at BHU, Varanasi,

India in December 2004. ICRACM-2007 held at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India in February 2007. ICRACM-

2010 held at Limoges University, Limoges, France in December 2010. ICRACM-2013 held at International Centre, Goa,

India in February 2013. Due to some mis-understanding, ICRACM-2016 was not organized at Bruno, Czech Republic in

June, 2016 under the Chairmanship of Prof. Josef Jancar. Therefor, ICRACM-2016 has been rescheduled to organize at

KL University, Vijayawada, Guntur, AP, India from 6-8th February 2017 under the Chairmanship of Prof. B. Nageswara

Rao. The major goal of ICRACM series are to bring academician and researchers together in various disciplines from all

over the world to share knowledge and exchange their views leading to industrial applications of composite materials.

Most of the ICRACM series have been supported by AOARD-AFOSR, Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan and GONR, Singapore

due to unique dimension and significance demands in composite community. These supports are predicted on the belief

that scientific and technical advances are strongly promoted by direct interactions among a diverse set of researchers and

technologists. Finally, I am very gratefull to all of my friends, who have joined the ICRACM-2004, ICRACM-2007,

ICRACM-2013 and ICRACM-2016 meeting and presented their composite experiences for the benefits of young

composite researchers after travelling long distances from abroad. I shall be highly oblised their kind supports for the

grand success of ICRACM series. Also, organising committee is gratefully acknowledging financial support of Director/

Manager, AOARD-AFOSR, Tokyo, Japan and Officer Incharge, ONR, Singapore to organize ICRACM Series for the

academic benefits and interaction of Asian countries young composite researchers with the renouned world level

scientists.

Also, I would like to bring to your kind notice that Department of Mechanical Engineering / BENCO / Indian

Institute of Technology (BHU) is going to complete 100 years in 2019. Therefore, I am planning to organize Sixth

International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM-2019) from 25-28th February

2019 at Swatantrata Bhavan, BHU, IIT (BHU), Varanasi in lieu of CENTENARY YEAR (2019) of BENCO /

Department / Institute.

It is now our turn as organiser of this prestigious conference to reciprocate and propogate encourgement and

dream of our founder Pt. Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya ji under the umbrella of Serbvidya ki rajdhani

(Capital of Learning). I am quite sure that deliberations made during four days will open new horigons of frontier

research for the need of recent requirements of low cost houses, energy storages, fuel cell and other applications.

How to get good hotel in Varanasi:

Varanasi is one of India’s most important transportation hubs, and so is well served by air, road

and rail. If you’re flying to India, head to Delhi Airport - which serves British locations, such as

London and Manchester - and catch a short connecting flight to Lal Bahadar Shastri Airport, a

mere 11 miles from Varanasi centre. A pre-booked taxi is the most efficient and inexpensive

way to travel from the airport. If you’re travelling from another Indian city, Varanasi’s train

station serves many locations, including Mumbai and New Delhi. Once in the city, get around

via inexpensive taxis or unforgettable rickshaw rides.

Following hotels are one of the high quality first class hotels. These hotels are located near to

the major shopping areas within 7 to 10 kms vicinity. Also, Swatantrata Bhavan, BHU-

IIT,BHU and Airport are within the surrounding of 15 KM. Foreign delegates are advise to

Select hotels according totheir budget and book accommodation in advance to get discount.

least for two hours for the intertainment and relaxation of ICRACM delegates.

The Dance and Songs are an ancient and tradition culture in India. Folk dances

abound all across the country, and most of the people are impressed with folk

dancing and weddings all over the worlds. Dance and song features heavily in

Indian culture & cinema (so-called “Bollywood” films), too. But where does Indian

dance draw its roots from? Here are six of the most important classical dance forms

of India.

i. Odissi is indigenous to Orissa in eastern India

ii. Kuchipudi is dance, from the state of Andhra Pradesh

iii. Manipuri comes from Manipur in northeastern India

iv. Kathak dance of northern India, Kathak is often a dance of love.

v. Bharatanatyam is a dance of Tamil Nadu in southern India

About the Institute:

Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi has formerly been known as the Banaras Engineering College

(BENCO), the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET), the College of Technology (TECHNO) and the

Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU). Its establishment is intimately linked with that of

the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The first convocation ceremony at BHU was held on 19 January 1919.

The Chancellor of the University, Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar of Mysore who had come to preside over and

address the convocation, performed the opening ceremony of the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO)

Workshop buildings. An Artisan Course was started on 11 February 1919. BHU has the credit of first starting

degree classes in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, metallurgy and Pharmaceutics, thanks to the

foresight of its founder, Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya. The Lok Sabha passed The Institutes of Technology

(Amendment) Act, 2011 on 24 March 2011 and the Rajya Sabha on 30 April 2012, thereby formalizing the IIT

status of the Institute. The Bill was signed by the President of India on 20 June 2012 and notified in the gazette

About the Banaras City:

Varanasi, the holy city of India, is also known by the name of Kashi and Benaras. Kashi, the city of Moksha for

Hindus since centuries, is known for its fine-quality silks, 'paan' and Benares Hindu University and Avimukta of

the ancient days; Varanasi is the most popular pilgrimage point for the Hindus. One of the seven holiest cities,

Varanasi is the oldest city of the world. Varanasi is more than 3000 years old and is famous as the city of

temples. In Varanasi, there are temples at every few paces. Looking at the number of temples in Varanasi, it is

hard to believe that a large number of them were demolished during the medieval times. Jyotirlinga Visvanatha

Temple or Golden Temple, rebuilt in 1776, is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Jnana Vapi well (meaning 'Well of

Wisdom) is believed to have been dug by Lord Shiva himself. It is believed that the majestic Alamgir mosque

has replaced one of the most ancient shrines known as the temple of Bindu Madhava. The thirty-three hundred

million shrines fill one with awe and wonder with sheer numbers.

Varanasi is well connected and accessible to major Indian cities and tourist spots. There are daily domestic

flights to and from Varanasi to several cities in India likes New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai,

Hyderabad etc. Apart from the state owned Indian Airlines, there are many private air taxi operators that offer

their services from Varanasi to other Indian cities. In fact, the daily flights on Delhi-Agra-Khajuraho-Varanasi

route are quite popular among the tourists.

Since Varanasi lies in the heartland of the North Indian plains, it is well connected to Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai

and other parts of India by train. There are two railway stations in Varanasi, the Kashi Junction and the

Varanasi Junction (also known as Varanasi Cantonment). Rajdhani Express from Delhi or from Calcutta passes

through Varanasi too. One can also catch trains from Mughalsarai, just 10 km south of Varanasi.

HISTORY of the ICRACM Conference:

Composite materials have unique advantages over monolithic materials, such as high

strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, and adaptability to the intended

function of the structure. Significant achievement has been made in the

design/development and applications. Considerable innovative research is still continuing

for the development of continuous fibre composites and particulate composites for critical

applications. Structural requirements demand ultimate and reliable composite material

performance to react to global static and dynamic external and component loads.

Therefore, ICRACM-series aims at bringing together academicians and researchers

in various disciplines to share knowledge and exchange views, for useful industrial

applications of composite materials. The conference will facilitate discussion on the latest

trends in the entire gamut of composite materials. The deliberations will certainly be

helping researchers for embarking upon newer aspect design and development of various

types of composites.

Publication:

The conference proceeding will be published as a fully peer reviewed volume of

advances in composite materials. The papers without presentation / discussion in

conference and registration fees will not be included in the conference proceedings. The

details of publishing houses that have brought out the proceedings of ICRACM-2004 and
