<p>For this 9th International Conference in the series organised by the European Structural Integrity Society - Technical Committee 4 on Fracture Mechanics related to Polymers, Polymer Composites and Adhesives. Papers relating to fracture mechanics testing methods, theoretical and numerical developments and applications of fracture mechanics to industrial applications are all welcome. Of special interest are novel polymer-based materials and composites, e.g., renewable or biodegradable and polymer-based materials made with new technologies, e.g., additive manufacturing. Please note that submissions on fracture of other materials and composites, e.g., metal-matrix, ceramic-matrix, or concrete are outside the scope and will not be considered.</p>
<p>Conference themes
</p><p>Abstracts are now invited on the following themes. They should be submitted using the <a href="https://www.elsevier.com/events/conferences/esistc4conference/submit-abstract">online abstract submission system.</a></p>

Fatigue fracture, damage mechanisms, thermal properties, experimental characterization and simulation. Toughness of short fibre, particulate, or nano- and micro-scale reinforced composites. Pure and mixed-mode fracture. Peeling of flexible laminates.</li>
<li>Adhesives: Structural adhesives toughness evaluation also for hybrid joints, experimental characterization and simulation. Geometry and thickness effects on Gc. Measuring toughness in highly toughened adhesive joints, including Jc testing. Toughening mechanisms, including nano-scale additives. Impact and high rate behaviour. Environmental effects. Peeling of flexible laminates.</li>

<p>The thirteenth biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Hyannis, USA from to 3-8 September 2023.</p>
<p>This prestigious and long running conference will bring together delegates from around the world to discuss how to characterize, predict, and analyze the fatigue damage of structural materials.</p>
<p>The conference will maintain its unique and traditional format of single-session 30 min oral presentations that facilitates sufficient time for a thorough technical presentation, follow-up discussions, and collegial debate of the cutting-edge issues in the field of fatigue.</p>
<p>The entire conference program is deliberately scheduled with equal significance to our poster sessions, themed in relation to the oral presentations, and assessed for awards via a peer review process. Furthermore, all delegates are strongly encouraged to submit a paper to be published in a conference specific Special Issue of <a class="external-link" href="https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-fatigue" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">International Journal of Fatigue</a>.</p>
<p>We welcome our colleagues to join us once again in the charming and historic city of Hyannis, MA on Cape Cod; our returning delegates will be delighted to find that we are returning to the more modern and updated conference venue used in 2018. We are excited to invite members of the domestic and international fatigue community to join us (again or for the first time) as we continue to advance the knowledge and understanding of the mechanics, materials, environmental, and computational aspects of fatigue damage in structural materials.</p>
<p>Conference topics:
</p><p>Oral and paper abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using the <a class="external-link" href="https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/3228/submitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">online abstract submission system</a>.

<p>The conference will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progression in recent decades. Special sessions will concentrate on wear of tools and tooling materials, hot and cold erosion (droplet, solid and cavity-based erosion), wear of brake/frictional materials, marine wear systems, role of third bodies during wear, and surface texturing for wear reduction.</p>
<p>The <span class="bold">21st International Conference on Wear of Materials</span> will provide a unique international forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest understandings.</p>

<p>The conference will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progression in recent decades. Special sessions will concentrate on wear of tools and tooling materials, hot and cold erosion (droplet, solid and cavity-based erosion), wear of brake/frictional materials, marine wear systems, role of third bodies during wear, and surface texturing for wear reduction.</p>
<p>The <span class="bold">21st International Conference on Wear of Materials</span> will provide a unique international forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest understandings.</p>
<p>Conference Topics:
</p><p><span class="bold">Abstract Submission Deadline: 27 May 2016</span><br />Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system on our website <a href="http://www.wearofmaterialsconference.com">http://www.wearofmaterialsconference.com</a></p>
