Guidelines for distant participation

The conference goal is initiating the effort of researchers working in the fields of mechanics of materials, material science and nondestructive testing, as well as industrial specialists, for solving scientific and applied problems. Representatives from industry and concerned organizations will have a chance to meet and discuss their problems with scientific experts, to make presentations and to participate in debates.

Objectives:

• discussing topical problems and advanced achievements in solving scientific and applied problems of complex evaluation of the life of technical objects, prediction of their durability and longevity by methods of material science, nondestructive testing, and mechanics;
• familiarizing the scientists, representatives of academic, educational, sectoral research institutes, industrial enterprises, and engineering centers with the world’s advanced experience in the application of scientific developments.

The scientific significance of the Conference:

Generalization of experience and interdisciplinary approaches to the evaluation of the service life and diagnostics of materials and structures; development of scientific ties among research groups working in this field; exchange of advanced scientific experience.

The subject-matter of the event corresponds to the priority lines of basic research in the field of material sciences and takes into consideration world development trends.

A special feature of the Conference is participation of specialists working on different lines of research, and this enables us to unite researchers working in mechanics of materials, material science and nondestructive testing and attract industry experts to solving scientific and applied problems. The Conference will cover the most important areas of basic research, such as

• new techniques for studying and predicting the service life of mechanisms and structures under production and operation, which are based on a complex approach to the evaluation of a current state of engineering and functional materials in terms of nondestructive testing, material science, and mechanics;
• methodology of using the results of nondestructive testing and material science analysis in models of mechanics to predict the service life of materials and structures;
• state-of-the-art technologies of material design, production, processing, and testing aimed at increasing the level of functional properties, durability, reliability, and survivability of machine parts and structural components operated under extreme conditions;
• interdisciplinary approach to studying advanced materials with a multilevel hierarchic structure in order to create new processes and reliable structures.

• Scientific foundations for the development of materials with a multilevel hierarchic structure, including those designed for extreme operation conditions, namely
  - materials for aerospace and transportation industries; 
  - materials for nuclear-power engineering; 
  - materials for operation under Arctic conditions;
  - medical materials
