Introduction

Founded by Professor T. Yokobori in 1965, the International Congress on Fracture - The World Academy on Structural Integrity (ICF-WASI) is today the premier international body for promoting worldwide cooperation among scientists and engineers dealing with mechanics and mechanisms of fracture, fatigue and strength of solids. Over the years, ICF-WASI has made considerable progresses in providing an international forum for highlighting individual and national accomplishments in the general fields of Fracture Mechanics, Material Strength and Structural Integrity. The international conference of ICF takes place every four years.

The 14th International Conference on Fracture, will be a Pan-Europe Quadrennial and will focus on key issues in structural integrity, strength and fracture of materials and structures for the 21st century, including applications in geophysics, medicine, integrated modeling and engineering. It will comprise of invited lectures together with contributed oral and poster presentations covering all aspects of strength and fracture. The language of the conference will be English.
