2nd International Conference of Engineering Against Fracture

2nd International Conference of Engineering Against Fracture

November 22nd, 2010

22-24 June 2011
Mykonos, GREECE

The scope of the conference is to attract interdisciplinary work in the areas of design and prevention of fracture. Works are expected to cover a number of different technological areas including aeronautics, land transportation, marine, power, bioengineering etc. The conference topics cover but are not limited to:

  • Engineering alloys and metals for aerospace, land transportation, marine, power and bioengineering applications
  • Novel engineering composites
  • Nanomaterials: technology, properties and modeling fracture behavior
  • Smart materials and structures
  • Multiscale (nano, meso, micro and macroscopic) approaches to understand mechanical behaviour and fracture of engineering materials and structures
  • Damage tolerant microstructures
  • Structural integrity and structural health monitoring
  • Fracture and fatigue of materials and structures
  • Surface Engineering and Coatings
  • Experimental studies on the relation between microstructure and mechanical fracture processes
  • Testing and Control Systems
  • Computational mechanics and analytical methods
  • Characterization of fractures
  • Environmentally assisted fracture
  • Integrated approaches for design, manufacturing and reliability of engineering structures
  • Joining technologies
  • Surface treatment and coatings
  • Non-destructive testing
