International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials VIII
19-24 September 2010, The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Hyannis Resort, Hyannis, MA, USA
The eighth biennial Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials conference will be held in scenic Cape Cod at The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 19 - 24 September 2010. Delegates from across the world will join together to discuss innovative test techniques and novel analytical methods focusing on “conventional” metallic systems, i.e. steels, aluminium, nickel and titanium alloys.
The traditional and well-received single oral presentations will allow sufficient time for follow-up discussions, friendly debate and relaxed participation.
The entire conference program is deliberately scheduled with equal significance to our poster sessions, themed in relation to the oral presentations and assessed for certificated awards via a process of peer review.
The scope and topics for abstract submission for FDSM-VIII includes:
- Structural metals and alloys pertinent to the aerospace, marine, off-shore, power generation and land based transportation industries
- Systematic, comprehensive experimental studies, particularly those in conjunction with novel analysis or modelling approaches
- Overload/underload, arbitrary loading sequences, service spectrum loads
- Residual stress effects and measurement of internal stresses
- Extreme environments, including high temperature, cryogenic temperatures, corrosive and abrasive environments pertinent to service conditions
- Innovative theoretical approaches, related computational work and analytical methods
- Life prediction methodologies for structural metals and alloys
Please note that in the context of the single session format, preference will be given to papers reporting innovative test techniques and novel analytical methods focusing on “conventional”
metallic systems, i.e. STEELS, ALUMINIUM, NICKEL and TITANIUM alloys. |
