Dear Colleagues,

The 20th European Conference on Fracture (ECF20) will be held at Trondheim, in 
Norway on 30 June – 4 July 2014. We are inviting abstracts in the areas of 
fracture and fatigue at all scales! The deadline for abstract submission is 4 
October, 2013.

 

- ECF20 2nd announcement

 

- Abstract submission is now open

 

An ECF summer school on Fracture Modeling and Assessment will be arranged two 
days before the conference. The summer school is mainly aimed at PhD students, 
young scientists and engineers, but is naturally open to everybody. 
Participants will become acquainted with general aspects, emerging fields and 
recent practical applications of fracture mechanics.

 

ECF20 will feature a Young Scientist Session and a panel discussion about how 
to teach fracture mechanics in the future. The newly established ESIS-Elsevier 
Young Scientist Award is dedicated to best contributions at ECFs as an 
encouragement to younger researchers and in support of their careers. The 
award will include a certificate and 1000 € for first place and 500 € for second 
place.

 

Reviewed and accepted conference papers will be published as one dedicated 
issue in Elsevier's Procedia Materials Sciences and made available in open-
access on www.ScienceDirect.com. Authors of selected papers will be invited to 
submit extended versions for publication in peer reviewed special issues of 
“Engineering Fracture Mechanics”, “Engineering Failure Analysis” or 
“International Journal of Fatigue”.

 

ESIS Awards including The Griffith Medal, The Wöhler Medal, The Award of Merit 
and Honorary Membership welcome nominations for candidates. Deadline for 
nominations is 30th of December 2013.
