Call for Papers - deadline 9 December 2011
Submit your abstract here: www.fatiguedamageconference.com
We welcome poster and abstract submissions on the following topics:
- Structural metals and alloys pertinent to the aerospace, marine, off-shore, power generation and land based transportation industries
- Novel experimental methods to characterise fatigue damage and crack growth
- Overload/underload, arbitrary loading sequences, service spectrum loads, combined HCF/LCF
- Residual stress effects on fatigue damage and crack growth, measurement of internal stresses
- Extreme environments, including the effects of corrosion, oxidation, abrasion, elevated or cryogenic temperatures
- Innovative theroretical approaches, computational and analytical methods
- Life prediction methodologies for structural metals and alloys
- Fatigue mechanisms in advanced alloys and metallic systems
- Micro-structurally short cracks
Contributions relating to ceramics, nano-materials, construction materials (concrete), polymers (including rubber) and composites will not be considered for FDSM IX.
