With
an appropriate size of the participants, emphases will be placed
on covering the essentials steps in the design and manufacture
of engineering structure and/or structural components that operate
under high temperature. Contributions are welcome in the following
areas:
- Testing of metallic
and non-metallic materials ranging from room to high temperature,
say 500oC or higher.
- Determination of thermal-mechanical and/or chemo-mechanical
coupling effects qualified in terms of the constitutive constants.
- Methods for transferring uniaxial data to multiaxial stress
states needed in design.
- Dilatational and distortional effects in regions away and near
defects.
- Numerical and/or analytical methods for determining stress and
strain states.
- Failure criteria identified with physical damage of the material
and/or structure: local and global view points.
- Change of material in homogeneity for ductile-brittle transient
temperature.
- Interaction of system homogeneity with temperature and/or temperature
gradient.
- Trade off between mechanical and thermal instability for high
temperature resistance materials.
- Design of materials for high temperature applications
- Failure assessment methodology
Topics not covered
above but fall within the general scope of this meeting are also
welcome. Abstracts and full papers should be written in English.
Early submission of full papers is advisable in order to get the
full benefit of editorial assistance.
