[Initialement prévu 28 juin-01 juillet 2020]

Scope

The Fatigue 2020 conference will bring the international fatigue and durability community together to share knowledge and understand the challenges in using sophisticated engineering simulation and modelling tools to complement sound test programmes and develop reliable and cost effective products for modern usage.

The 3 day conference builds on the long established philosophy of the Engineering Integrity Society to provide a forum for practising engineers and researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in all aspects of structural integrity. Contributions will be welcome from all disciplines, industries and research organisations. As well as giving practitioners an opportunity to keep up-to-date in the latest developments in durability of materials and structural analysis techniques, the conference will provide an excellent forum for researchers to promote their work and enhance its transfer to, and impact on, industrial applications.

We are particularly interested in papers that address the questions:

• Durability of advanced materials;
• Novel manufacturing techniques for improved component durability;
• Integrity of recycled and reprocessed materials;
• Joining technologies: bolts, welds, adhesives, joining dissimilar materials, correlation of testing and in-service durability;
• Surface engineering and durability;
• Innovations in 3D imaging for structural integrity.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

We are pleased to welcome Professor Youshi Hong (Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Dr Tommaso Ghidini (European Space Agency) who will be keynote speakers at the conference.
