SYMPOSIUM G - IMPROVING FATIGUE AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

The increasingly demanding design requirements for modern engineering applications have led to the development of new materials with improved physical and mechanical properties and fatigue resistance. A number of research efforts have been undertaken both from Universities and industry to improve and design methods and alloys for many application fields. The symposium on Improving Fatigue and Mechanical Behavior in Structural Components will be an open event aiming at discussing, in an interdisciplinary approach, current subjects related with metallic materials used in mechanical components. In this context the symposium proposes a critical assessment of topics aimed at strengthening mechanisms, phase transformations, plasticity, creep, fatigue, environmental effects and dynamic and static fracture, resulting from experimental studies or based on computational methods.

This symposium will address these developments and will include topics such as:

• Fatigue and fracture of alloys in automotive and aeronautic industries;

• Structural integrity and related topics;

• Quantitative and qualitative fractography;

• Mechanical behavior of biomaterials;

• Mechanical behavior of structural components

• Failure analysis

Keywords: Mechanical behavior.
