 Conference Scope


IRF2018 is the sixth international gathering of a prestigious series of conferences coordinated by the International Scientific Committee on Mechanics and Materials in Design. This series of conferences started in 1999 and they are wholly devoted to advances in mechanics, materials, structural integrity and design. These meetings resulted from the belief that of those disciplines associated with advanced product design and manufacture, engineering mechanics, materials engineering, maintenance and thermo-fluid mechanics have made the most significant advance in recent years.

Important and dramatic improvements in systems and component design can be made by the use of the latest advances in Integrity, Reliability and Failure of energy systems, structures and materials. Contributions in the fields of Nanotechnologies, Nanomaterials, Biomechanics and Experimental and Computational Mechanics applied to mechanical, aeronautical, space, civil, automotive, biomedical, environmental, and nuclear engineering will  be welcome.

IRF2018 is planned for July 22-26, 2018 in Lisbon (Portugal), and it is sponsored by the University of Porto and the University of Toronto (Canada). The conference will cover the following topics: Computation Mechanics,  Experimental Mechanics, Fracture and Fatigue, Composite and Advanced Materials, Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials, Tribology and Surface Engineering, Impact and Crashworthiness, Mechanical Design and Prototyping, Biomechanical Applications, Civil Engineering Applications and Energy and Thermo-Fluid Systems.
