Selected Papers from 7th International Conference of Engineering Against Failure (ICEAF VII)

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades it has been widely recognized that preventing the failure of engineering structures necessitates the involvement of a large amount of expertise and, depending on the application, a multidisciplinary and multi-scale approach may be required in terms of both size and time. The series of the International Conference of Engineering Against Failure (ICEAF) aims to provide on a biennial basis a forum to present relevant scientific and technological achievements and to discuss them with an audience of international experts.

The scope of the conference is to attract interdisciplinary work dedicated to the design against engineering failure, the implementation of appropriate guidelines against failure, the development and application of concepts and technologies to prevent failure, the use of both novel and established approaches, technologies, and tools for failure analysis, as well as a deep understanding of the underlying failure mechanisms and the identification of the root causes of failure.

The works are expected to cover a number of different technological areas including aeronautics and space, the automotive industry, the marine industry, wind energy, oil refineries and the chemical industry, civil engineering applications, bioengineering and medical applications, and so forth. The ICEAF VII conference is co-chaired by Spiros Pantelakis (Professor Emeritus, University of Patras, Laboratory of Technology and Strength of Materials) and Michael Vormwald (Professor, Head of Materials Mechanics Group, Technical University of Darmstadt) who will jointly share scientific responsibility for the conference.
