With
an appropriate size of the participants, emphases will be placed
on Structural integrity in extreme conditions and the transferability
and applicability of the current mechanics approaches. Contributions
are welcome in the following areas:
•
Failure mechanisms at extreme working conditions (high temperature,
high pressure, deep cryogenics, high speed, irradiation, corrosive
conditions etc);
• Structural integrity assessment to include multiscale
damage and multiple damage mechanisms;
• Determination of thermal-mechanical and/or chemo-mechanical
coupling effects;
• Mesoscopic approach to mechanical properties of materials;
• Transferability of fracture and damage parameters;
• Testing technique development for metallic and non-metallic
materials at extreme conditions;
• Online monitoring of structured integrity or structural
health monitoring in extreme conditions;
• Long term performance and reliability of sensor systems
in extreme conditions;
• Standard and codes for engineering structural integrity
assessment.
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.
