Final call for papers - deadline 5 November 2010

There are only a few days left to submit your papers, if you haven't already done so. All you have to do is go to http://www.tc4pca.elsevier.com/abstractsubmission.asp

We are inviting authors to submit 300 words abstract for oral and poster presentation at the conference. New developments and innovative applications are especially welcome in the following subject areas:

- Polymers
- Composites
- Adhesives
- Application of fracture mechanics

Papers must be received by by 5th November 2010.

This will be the 6th International Conference in the series organised by the European Structural Integrity Society - Technical Committee 4 on Fracture Mechanics related to Polymers, Polymeric Composites and Adhesives. We are again inviting papers in the areas reflecting the current and future interests of TC4 as listed below.

Both experimental and analytical work is sought in order to give a balanced view of the subject areas:

Polymers: Low rate properties, Kc, Gc and Jc. Essential work of fracture, we. Impact and high rate properties. Ductile energy dissipation. Environmental effects. Fracture in soft materials. Cutting, machining and scratching.
