International Workshop on the Environmental Damage in Structural Materials Under Static Load/Cyclic Loads at Ambient Temperatures
Abstract
International Workshop on the Environmental Damage in Structural Materials Under Static Load/Cyclic Loads at Ambient Temperatures. Environmentally-assisted cracking, EAC, of engineering materials has been known for a very at least 50 years. The sensitivity of engineering alloys to environmental exposure is well known from an engineering perspective. What is not known with certainty, at this stage, is the mechanism by which the many manifestations of EAC occur. This understanding is fundamental to the development of strategies for control & predict failures of EAC is of great importance to the failure communities. While significant progress in our understanding of EAC has been achieved in recent years, important fundamental questions like "how environment affects the crack driving force", and “why do ordinarily ductile materials fail in a brittle manner when exposed to certain environments” remain unanswered. Our objective for this workshop, titled “International Workshop on the Environmental Damage in Structural Materials Under Static Load/Cyclic Loads at Ambient Temperatures,” is to congregate a group of "skilled in the field" researchers in metallic materials for a workshop style that will endeavor to help clarify our current understanding of EAC and identify approaches to improve the current semi-quantitative understanding of the mechanisms. The workshop will be administered by Engineering Conferences International, a 501(c)3 not-forprofit organization. The workshop will be held in Cork, Ireland from May 29-June 3, 2016.
