Recent Advances in Structural Integrity Analysis – Proceedings of the International Congress (APCF/SIF-2014): (APCFS/SIF 2014) – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

The proceedings of the International Congress (c) include about 120 papers selected out of 160 papers submitted for presentations at APCF/SIF-2014, to be held in Sydney, Australia, December 9-12, 2014, and uniting the Asian-Pacific Conference on Fracture and Strength 2014 (APCFS-2014) with the International Conference on Structural Integrity and Failure (SIF-2014). The congress will be hosted by The University of Sydney and co-organized by Australia Fracture Group (AFG), the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, Materials Institution (CMES-MI), the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers, Materials and Fracture Division (KSME-MFD) and The Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers, Materials and Mechanics Division (JSME-MMD). The congress follows the series of the previous very successful APCF and SIF international forums, in particular, APCFS 2012, Busan and the 8^th SIF, Melbourne, 2013.

• Characterisations of complex mechanisms of damage accumulation and failure
• Application of new multi-scale modelling approaches in problems associated with structural integrity
• Development of more accurate technologies for structural damage assessment
