The Tenth International Conference on Multiaxial
Fatigue & Fracture (ICMFF10)


Kyoto (Japan), 3-6 June, 2013-Suzaku Campus, Ritsumeikan University

Foreword

The aim of this conference is to exchange information on multiaxial fatigue and fracture research as well as the application of this research to industrial practice. Despite increased efforts in understanding of multiaxial fatigue and fracture behavior, failure assessment procedures are becoming more complex and this forum is a good opportunity for experimentalists, theoreticians, industrial practitioners and academic experts to discuss current progress.


Selected papers presented at ICMFF10 will be published after the Conference:

(1) International Journal of Fatigue
Special Issue on Multiaxial Fatigue and Fracture
(2) Engineering Fracture Mechanics
Special Issue on Multiaxial Fatigue and Fracture



Invited Plenary Lectures
