International Summer School on
Energy Methods in Fracture and Fatigue
Messina, Italy, 10-12 July 2023
Messina, Italy, 10-12 July 2023
Welcome on the 8th ESIS International Summer School on Energy Methods in Fracture and Fatigue!
The aim of the summer school is to expand the knowledge of young researchers providing an insight on the development and application of experimental energy methods for stress-deformation analysis on:
Mechanical materials and components;
Fatigue characterization of mechanical systems;
Fracture mechanics and damage control in both static and dynamic fields.
Â
The Summer School will focus on general topics associated with energy approaches to describe the fracture behavior of structural materials with emphasis on the development and application of fatigue assessment for structural integrity.
The summer school will be held in Messina, Siciliy (Italy) from 10 to 12 July 2023.
The venue is the Department of Engineering of the University of Messina.
The proposed topic for the summer school on Energy Methods in Fracture and Fatigue are the following:
Thermodynamics of Mechanical Fatigue (Prof. Michael Khonsari, Lousiana State University, USA)
Thermoelastic Stress Analysis in Fracture Mechanics (Prof. Liviu Marsavina, Politechnica University of Timisoara, Romania)
Energetic local approaches for fatigue design (Prof. Filippo Berto, La Sapienza University, Italy, and Dr. Pietro Foti, NTNU)
Charpy instrumented pendulum and J integral as energy methods in dynamic and static fracture mechanics (Prof. Aleksandar Sedmak, University of Belgrade, Serbia)
Thermographic Methods for fatigue and fracture assessment (Prof. Giacomo Risitano, Dr. Danilo D'Andrea, Dr. Dario Santonocito, University of Messina, Italy)
