Recommended Conferences for Fracture Mechanics

Fracture Mechanics

As per available reports about 8 relavant Journals, 4 Conferences, 343 Conferences Proceedings, are presently dedicated exclusively to Fracture Mechanics  and about  67 Open Access articles are being published on Fracture Mechanics.

Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture. In modern materials science, fracture mechanics is an important tool in improving the mechanical performance of mechanical components. It applies the physics of stress and strain, in particular the theories of elasticity and plasticity, to the microscopic crystallographic defects found in real materials in order to predict the macroscopic mechanical failure of bodies. Topics like: Duplex Stainless Steel ,Building information modeling,Cold formed steel are of interest.

OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide. 

Scope & Importance:

Fractography is widely used with fracture mechanics to understand the causes of failures and also verify the theoretical failure predictions with real life failures. The prediction of crack growth is at the heart of the damage tolerance discipline. Fracture Mechanics is one of the sub track under Safety Management in Construction track in OMICS group conference.

There are three ways of applying a force to enable a crack to propagate:

Mode I fracture – Opening mode (a tensile stress normal to the plane of the crack)

Mode II fracture – Sliding mode (a shear stress acting parallel to the plane of the crack and perpendicular to the crack front)

Mode III fracture – Tearing mode shear stress acting parallel to the plane of the crack and parallel to the crack front).

Market Analysis:

The construction industry of UAE witnessed construction contract awards to the tune of USD 40 billion in 2012, which is expected to increase to USD 50 billion by 2015, with bulk of the projects likely to be awarded over 2014 and 2015. Construction sector as a percentage of GDP of the UAE reached 10.5% in 2009 and 10.25% in 2011 while for 2015 and 2020 the sector’s contribution as a percentage of UAE GDP is projected to record 11.1% and 11.45% respectively. According to global market analysis, in 2014, the industry is expected to generate revenue of approximately 156.12 billion U.S. dollars. According to statistical record, in 2013 most of the regions including North America, South America, South Africa, MENA faced a growth of 4.5%, 5.0%, 6.0% and 5.5% respectively in construction Industry. That year revenue generated by global construction industry was around 124.69 billion USD.
