Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) we have the pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all researchers planning to attend the 23rd European Conference on Fracture – ECF23, scheduled from June 27 – July 1, 2022, on the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal.
A Summer School on 25 – 26 June 2022, will take place as part of the conference. The two days event is mainly aimed at PhD students, young researchers and engineers, but it is open to everybody.
The conference will be held on one of the most emblematic hotels in Funchal, authored by the genius of Oscar Niemeyer, the Casino Park Hotel. The huge offer of hotels in Funchal provides the necessary conditions for every sort of visitors, constituting an invaluable argument for the organization of a large conference such as ECF.
ECF23 focus will be twofold, on dynamical aspects of Structural Integrity and the largely unobserved realm of Integrity loss under dynamical loads as well as the developments of the monitoring technical aspects and their pitfalls as dynamics particularities take precedence over the phenomena we have come to know so well.
Aim and Topics The conference topics include but are not limited to:
Additive Manufacturing Adhesives Analytical, computational and physical models Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Digitalization in Fracture and Fatigue Biomechanics Ceramics; Composites Computational Mechanics Concrete & Rocks Corrosion Creep Damage Mechanics Durability Environmentally Assisted Fracture; Experimental Mechanics Failure Analysis and Case Studies Fatigue Fatigue Crack Growth Fractography and Advanced metallography Fracture and fatigue testing systems Fracture and fatigue of additively manufactured materials or structures | Fracture and fatigue problems in regenerative energy systems (wind turbines, solar cells, fuel cells,…) Fracture under Mixed-Mode and Multiaxial Loading Functional Graded Materials Hydrogen embrittlement Image analysis techniques Impact & Dynamics Innovative Alloys Joints and Coatings Linear and Nonlinear Fracture Mechanics Mesomechanics of Fracture Micromechanisms of Fracture and Fatigue Multi-physics and multi-scale modelling of cracking in heterogeneous materials Nanomaterials Non-destructive inspection Polymers Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Reliability and Life Extension of Components Repair and retrofitting: modelling and practical applications; Smart Materials; Structural Integrity Temperature Effects Thin Films |
