to meetings held in London in 1967 and Brighton in 1975. Unlike the other symposia of the present conference, which deal with the physics and chemistry of materials subjected to high pressures, this meeting will be concerned with the engineering aspects of generating, controlling, containing and using high pressures. For the purposes of this symposium, "high" pressure is considered as pressure exceeding about one kilobar (15,000 psi). Sessions are planned in the general areas of: Design, including closures, seals and the use of residual stresses. Materials, including fatigue, fracture, environmental effects and superhard materials. Applications, including hydrostatic extrusion and compaction and jet cutting. Safety, including protection barricades, pressure release devices and nondestructive inspection. The program, which will include both invited and contributed papers and utilize both lecture and poster
MRS AFFILIATES WITH A I P The Materials Research Society has become an Affiliated Society of the American Institute of Physics. Formal affiliation was unanimously approved by the MRS Council in March. The principal immediate benefit that will accrue to MRS members is that they will qualify to receive the journals of Member and Affiliated Societies of the AIP at member rates. Longer term, the Society intends to improve its internal operations and broaden the range of professional benefits it is able to offer its members through AIP affiliation. The most widely known of A IP's publications is Physics Today. The American Institute of Physics was established as a non-profit organization in 1931 for the purpose of assisting societies with an interest in physics in promoting the advancement and diffusion of the science. In general it sought to leave to constituent societies the responsibility for holding scientific meetings and offered to
assume responsibility for the publication and distribution of their journals. That remains the AIP's principal function, although now it also provides support services. Member Societies of the AIP include the American Physical Society, Optical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America, The Society of Rheology, American Association of Physics Teachers, American Crystallographic Association, American Association of Physicists in Medicine and American Vacuum Society. Affiliated Societies include the American Geophysical Union, American Institute of Aeronautics, American Society for Metals, Electron Microscopy Society of America, Geological Society of America, Instrument Society of America and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
