International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials IX 16-21 September 2012, Hyannis, MA, USA

Call for Papers - deadline 9 December 2011

Submit your abstract here: www.fatiguedamageconference.com 

We welcome poster and abstract submissions on the following topics:

• Structural metals and alloys pertinent to the aerospace, marine, off-shore, power generation and land based transportation industries
• Novel experimental methods to characterise fatigue damage and crack growth
• Overload/underload, arbitrary loading sequences, service spectrum loads, combined HCF/LCF
• Residual stress effects on fatigue damage and crack growth, measurement of internal stresses
• Extreme environments, including the effects of corrosion, oxidation, abrasion, elevated or cryogenic temperatures
• Innovative theroretical approaches, computational and analytical methods
• Life prediction methodologies for structural metals and alloys
• Fatigue mechanisms in advanced alloys and metallic systems
• Micro-structurally short cracks

Contributions relating to ceramics, nano-materials, construction materials (concrete), polymers (including rubber) and composites will not be considered for FDSM IX.
