Materials Damage Prognosis and Life Cycle Engineering

Organized by

Robert P. Wei

Gary Harlow

Anthony Ingraffea

James Larsen

 

 

To explore the development and utilization of reliable, science-based methods for predicting the evolution and distribution of material damage and their usage in the management of structural integrity of engineered systems. The symposium seeks to cover the processes of damage evolution and distribution at multiple scale levels, with emphasis on the interactions of material microstructure with the chemical and thermal environments, and their impact on structural integrity.
