1st International Conference of the International Journal of Structural Integritywww.fe.up.pt/ijsi-2012
- •
Dates: June 25-28, 2012.
- •
Location: Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Portugal.
Motivation and topics
The International Journal of Structural Integrity (IJSI) was launched in 2010 and is published in partnership with the European aeronautics science network (EASN). IJSI aims at a broad coverage of structural integrity issues, including material characterizations from the fracture and fatigue points to view, numerical modelling of those phenomena in materials and real structures, failure analysis methodologies and structural integrity evaluation criteria. The journal provides a forum for the key players in this broad area of science and technology, as universities, research institutes, manufacturing industry, legislative bodies and government agencies, SMEs, consultancy and maintenance companies.
The conference aims at being a forum for discussion of current trends of research in structural integrity, in aeronautics and space, but also in other sectors of engineering where structural integrity is a key concern.
The conference topics are aligned with the IJSI coverage, and include but are not limited to:
- •
Advances in fracture analysis.
- •
Coating technology and structural performance.
- •
Design and structural assessment of metallic and composite structures.
- •
Durability of electronic materials.
- •
Durability of metallic and composite structures.
- •
Environmental effects and structural performance.
- •
Evaluation of joining technologies.
- •
Examination of computational codes for stress analysis and damage tolerance.
- •
Nanomechanics and nanomaterials.
- •
Non-destructive testing.
- •
Probabilistic approach to damage tolerance.
- •
Repair technologies.
