International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics: Symposium on Creep in Structures (3rd).
Abstract
The Symposia in this series occur once every ten years with the aim to review developments in the area of creep and creep mechanics. As such, this Symposium, with a total attendance of about 70, attracted many prominent workers in this field. Over the years, emphasis in this field has shifted from analysis of creep mechanics toward the problems of cavitation, void formation, creep cracking and rupture. This change is in part a result of metallurgical developments leading to stronger, more creep resistant materials but also less ductile materials. This was reflected in this Symposium as half the papers dealt with the various problems in the areas of cavitation, creep crack propagation and rupture. Furthermore, there was a significant input from Metallurgy and Materials' Science and the promotion of interaction between the Mechanics and Materials' Science and approaches to the subject of creep was an important secondary aim of this Symposium.
