Abstract

The eleventh biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 19-23 September 2016. This prestigious and long running conference will bring together delegates from around the world to discuss how to characterize, predict, and analyze the fatigue damage of structural materials. Topic List The conference will be covering the following themes: 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 theoretical 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.
