With
an appropriate size of the participants, emphases will be placed
on the transferability and applicability of the current mechanics
approaches to structural integrity assessment. Contributions are
welcome in the following areas:
•
Transferability of fracture and damage parameters;
• Applicability and micro and miniature specimen testing
techiniques;
• Structural integrity assessment to include multiscale
damage and multiple damage mechanisms (e.g. thermal, corrosion,
irradiation, cyclic loading effects);
• Multiscale modeling of physical system, atomistic simulation
models and applications;
• Mesoscopic Approach of Mechanical Properties of materials;
• Testing technique development for metallic and non-metallic
materials ranging from room to high temperature;
• Determination of thermal-mechanical and/or chemo-mechanical
coupling effects;
• Standard and codes for engineering structural integrity
assessment;
• Online monitoring of structured integrity and long term
performance and reliability of sensor systems.
Topics
not covered above but fall within the general scope of this symposium
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.
