Minisymposia
MINISYMPOSIUM A
Fatigue Failure Analysis and Environmentally Assisted Fatigue
Chair: Prof. H. Nykyforchyn
(Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of NAS of Ukraine, nykyfor@ipm.lviv.ua)
The session is an invitation to Authors with experience in fatigue analysis. Within the framework of the session, all experimental work related to failure assessment as well as numerical analysis is invited. Particularly invited are works devoted to the issue of microstructural degradation of long-term operating metallic materials. Besides, any work devoted to fundamental fatigue testing and modelling of a life-time in initiation and propagation regime fall within the area of interest of the session.
MINISYMPOSIUM B
FATIGUE AND FRACTURE OF WELDED CONNECTIONS AND COMPLEX STRUCTURES
Chair: Prof. D. Rozumek
(Opole University of Technology, Opole, Poland, D.Rozumek@po.edu.pl)
This Symposium is intended to be a forum of discussion on fatigue testing for welded joints, and the predictions of their durability. The International Symposium will provide also an excellent opportunity to present the latest methods on fatigue analysis of welded joints.
MINISYMPOSIUM C
PROBABILISTIC FATIGUE&FRACTURE APPROACHES APPLIED TO MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES
Chair: Prof. Shun-Peng Zhu
(University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China, zspeng2007@uestc.edu.cn)
This Symposium is intended to be a forum of discussion of the recent advances in the domain of the probabilistic approaches or reliability methods for the fatigue and fracture characterization and design of materials (metals, polymers, composites among others) and structures (metallic, composite, joints, etc). It is expected contributions from engineers, metallurgists, material scientists, among others, allowing a very multidisciplinary discussion.
MINISYMPOSIUM D
RECENT ADVANCES ON MIXED-MODE FATIGUE AND FRACTURE
Chair: Prof. Ricardo Branco
(University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal, ricardo.branco@dem.uc.pt)
This symposium aims to stimulate discussion and dialogue on the most recent approaches in the fields of mixed-mode fatigue and fracture, which are pivotal topics in the context of modern structural integrity assessment of engineering parts. Despite the huge progresses achieved over time, the development of more sophisticated products, combined with new manufacturing methodologies and new processing techniques, require additional research and clever solutions to address unsolved questions and to strengthen the existing knowledge.
MINISYMPOSIUM E
FATIGUE AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF METALLIC BRIDGES
Chair: Prof. Stephane Sire
(University of Brest, Brest, France, stephane.sire@univ-brest.fr)
Chair: Prof. Jose A.F.O. Correia
(University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, jacorreia@inegi.up.pt)
This Symposium is intended to be a forum of discussion of the recent advances in the domain of structural integrity, fatigue, and fracture of metallic bridges (materials, assemblies, construction details, and structures), their structural analysis, maintenance, durability, and reinforcement. It is expected contributions from engineers, scientists, consultants among others, allowing a very multidisciplinary discussion.
MINISYMPOSIUM F
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND FATIGUE ASSESSMENT OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED METALS AND BIOMATERIALS
Chair: Prof. Abilio De Jesus
(University of Porto, Porto, Portugal,ajesus@fe.up.pt)
Chair: Prof. Jarosław Filipiak, Dr Patrycja Szymczyk - Ziółkowska
(Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, jaroslaw.filipiak@pwr.edu.pl, patrycja.e.szymczyk@pwr.edu.pl)
The present symposium intends to gather researchers in a scientific/technical discussion aimed at establishing the current understanding of the structural integrity, including the fatigue and fracture behaviors of AM materials and mechanical and structural components, and identifying future trends. This Symposium is also intended to be a forum of discussion of the recent advances in the domain of fatigue strength and fracture mechanics of biomaterials and implants. It is also expected issues regarding the design of implants in accordance with the principles of biomechanical adjustment to the properties of tissue structures. Contributions are expected from biomedical engineers, scientists, consultants as well as from experts in the field of experimental mechanics and fatigue researchers. We also would like to promote research and the discussion of biomechanical issues related to bone and implant fracture and its fixation.
MINISYMPOSIUM G
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND FATIGUE ASSESSMENT OF PRESSURIZED METALLIC COMPONENTS (PRESSURE VESSELS, PIPES, HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS) AND MATERIALS
Chair: Prof. Michał Stosiak
(Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, michal.stosiak@pwr.edu.pl)
The symposium is intended to be a forum for discussing the latest developments in structural integrity, inspection, monitoring, operation, repair, maintenance, fatigue, fracture mechanics, structural design, stability, safety, reliability, and computation and computer simulation in both predetermined and dynamic states. Contributions are expected from design and construction engineers, scientists, consultants, technical advisors in the areas of design and technology for the manufacture of high-pressure loaded components such as vessels, hoses, hydraulic cylinders, which are used in the agricultural, offshore, marine, mining, heavy-mobile, aerospace and many other industries
MINISYMPOSIUM H
CYCLIC DEFORMATION BEHAVIOUR AND FATIGUE OF METASTABLE, HIGH ENTROPY AND SMART MATERIALS
Chair: Dr Marek Smaga
(University of Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany, smaga@mv.uni-kl.de)
Chair: Dr Rafał Mech
(Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, rafal.mech@pwr.edu.pl)
