Main Topics of the Conference
Crack growth can take place under both static and fatigue loading. The complete solution of a crack growth problem includes the determination of the path taken by the crack. The crack path in critical components or structures where crack propagation occurs (offshore, bridges, etc.) can determine whether failure is benign or catastrophic. Knowledge of potential crack paths is also needed for the selection of appropriate non-destructive testing procedures. This Conference follows the Conferences in Parma in 2003 and 2006, Vicenza in 2009, and Gaeta in 2012. Special issues of international journals have been devoted to research work presented at those Conferences. Members of different industrial laboratories and scientists from all over the world are invited to contribute with presentations on any of the following topics (in the case of both static and fatigue loading): Experimental Determination of CP |
