The 6th International Conference on Creep, Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Interaction (CF-6) will be organized by Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, India

Date of Function: January 22-25, 2012.

The 6th International Conference on Creep, Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Interaction (CF-6) will be organized by Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, India, during January 22-25, 2012. The first conference in this series was held in the year 1987 and the latest in the year 2008 (CF-5). More than 250 delegates including 40 delegates from overseas attended the CF-5 conference. CF-6 is being organised jointly with the Kalpakkam Chapter and the Metal Sciences Division of The Indian Institute of Metals. The conference is sponsored by Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, India and Co-Sponsored by The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers , The Society of Materials Science, Japan, The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and The Korean Institute of Metals and Materials. Eminent experts in the areas of creep, fatigue, creep-fatigue interaction, materials development and high temperature design will be invited to share their knowledge and perspective on these topics during this conference.

Scope

Performance of materials under creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue loading conditions is of prime concern in the design, operation and reliability of high temperature components. The challenges involved in addressing the growing global energy demands with lower carbon foot print have to be met by advanced fossil fuel-based power plants, advanced nuclear reactor systems and fusion reactor systems all of which involve complex technologies and operating environments raising new challenges for materials development and understanding their mechanical behaviour. New materials are being developed to meet applications for components operating at increasingly higher temperatures and aggressive environments. Life extension of existing operating power plants is attractive in view of the high capital costs and environmental concerns while establishing new power plants. Structural integrity assessment and life management require innovative methods for materials testing, assessment of damage, remnant life prediction and materials modeling. This conference aims to provide a forum for interaction and exchange of knowledge among professionals working in these areas.



Who is eligible: interested students of mechanical/production/metallurgy for participation. Dead line:

Last date for submission abstracts:15-12-2011

Registration
