4th International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM - 2013) At Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi
About 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-2013 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.

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.

Venue of the Conference: GOA, INDIA
Goa is very small state in India and is located in western coastal region in India in the region known as Konkan.The state is considered to be the one of the fourth smallest state in terms of Population. Goa is surrounded by maharashtra from the north and Karnataka from the east. The Arabia Sea forms its western coastal part of India. Panaji is the capital city of Goa Vasco is considered to be the largest city in Goa in terms of Population. There is an influence of Portuguese culture in the city of Margao. The state is well appreciated for its beautiful beaches, temples and cultural heritage present in the city. They city looks
very attractive due to the influence of Flora and fauna. There are hundreds of thousands of international as well as domestic tourists, who visit Goa and enjoy the culture Goa is also famous for its standard of living, which is high and it is considered to be one of the most developed states in India. The airport is located 15 km away from Panaji, the capital city of Goa.There are many airlines such as Air Deccan, Kingfisher, Indian Airlines, Air Sahara, which operates their flights to and from Goa at regular intervals and connects the
state with all the major cities and towns in India.There are many international airlines such as Air Arabia, Air India, Malaysian Airlines, Thai Airlines, which operates their flights from Goa to different countries located in the world. There are many chartered flights, which are operated by private company such as Thomascook
Goa is the dream destination for holiday makers in India. It was the birthplace of ‘flower generation’ who came here in the seventies and some of them just opted to stay back. The history of Goa dates back to the 3rd century BC. Later, it became a colony of Portuguese traders.Winter season is the best time to visit Goa and its serene beaches. Panaji is the state’s capital, and Vasco Da Gama is the largest city of the state. Goa itself is the smallest state by area in India. Konkani is the local language. If you want to savor the zestful environment of this place, then grab a cheap air ticket to Goa and reach this wonderful beach town at the earliest.
