Abstract submission deadline: 7 December 2009

Abstracts are invited for poster presentations on the following symposium topics. Please submit abstracts using the Online Submission Form by7 December 2009 according to the abstract preparation guidelines.

Symposium Topics

• 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

All abstracts will be refereed and a criterion of rejection will be lack of originality. A condition of submission is that, if accepted, the paper will be presented at the International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials by one of the authors.

Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.
