General

The Institute of Materials Research SAS Košice in cooperation with the Faculty of Metallurgy TU Košice and Department of Materials FNSPE CTU Prague, organise International Conference "Fraktografia - Fractography 2015" in the Congress Center Academia in Stará Lesná, High Tatras, Slovakia on October 18-21, 2015.

Aims and Scope

Information and notes will be presented at the Conference in the area of theory and practical applications of fractographic and methodic approaches during the analysis of failure within a wide spectrum of materials.

Topics

  • the theory of material failure
  • mathematical modeling and failure simulation
  • stereological and statistical methods in the area of evaluating the process of failure
  • the theory of durability and reliability of material
  • microstructure of material and failure
  • degrading processes and failure
  • fatigue, creep and the dynamics of failure
  • failure of sintered materials
  • transient phenomena during failure
  • the utilization of fractography in engineering practice

The Photography Competition

During the Conference a photography contest will take place.
"The best fractography photograph" and "The most curious fractography photograph" will be selected. All registered participants can enter the competition with their photographs. The photographs have to be delivered during the registration to the Organizing committee in high quality printed form (photographs, digital prints).
