Dear colleagues,

You are welcome to participate in the 18th International Conference on Mechanics, Resource, and Diagnostics of Materials and Structures following the tradition of the conferences on Mechanics of Microinhomogeneous Materials and Fracture and Resource and Diagnostics of Materials and Structures held since 2001.

The conference will include a youth school/conference, where undergraduates, postgraduates and young scientists aged under 35 are welcome to present their papers.

The goal of the conference is to initiate the efforts of scientists in the field of mechanics of materials, materials science, and nondestructive testing, as well as industry specialists, to solve scientific and applied problems.

Conference scope

The scope includes the following priority lines of basic and applied research in the field of materials:

• new methods for studying and predicting the useful life of machines and structures during their production and operation, with the application of a complex approach to estimating the current state of structural and functional materials in terms of nondestructive testing, materials science, and mechanics;
• methods of using the results of nondestructive testing and materials science analysis in models of mechanics intended for predicting the useful life of materials and structures;
• state-of-the-art technologies of design, production, processing, and testing of materials aimed at enhancing the functional properties, durability, reliability, and survivability of machine parts and structural components used under extreme conditions;
• interdisciplinary approach to studying advanced materials with a multilevel hierarchical structure to be used in new technologies and reliable constructions;
• integrated research and prediction of the lifetime of biological objects and living organisms with the application of nondestructive testing, materials science, and biomechanics.

Sections

Section 1. Mechanics of damage and fracture.
Section 2. Structural aspects of deformation and fracture.
Section 3. Testing and diagnostics of materials and structures.
Section 4. Materials with multilevel hierarchical structure.
Section 5. Modeling of materials with multilevel hierarchical structure.
Section 6. Design and physical methods of diagnostics in engineering systems and medicine with the application of biosimilar technologies.
Section 7. Fluid mechanics in engineering and living systems.

Conference working languages: Russian, English

Paper presentation

The conference activities will consist of plenary and sectional sessions, as well as poster presentations. Invited speakers will lecture at the plenary sessions.
   
 Plenary presentation time: 30 min.
 Sectional presentation time: 15 min.


Poster presentations should be submitted as jpeg or pdf files with a resolution of at least 150 dpi, not exceeding 10 MB.

The conference provides for the possibility of remote participation with online presentation of papers via the Internet and absentee participation with the submission of poster presentations to the organizing committee.

Conference publications

The Book of Abstracts will be published before the beginning of the conference, indexing in RSCI is planned.

Based on the review of the abstracts, the organizing committee will invite participants to submit full papers to be published in a special issue of Procedia Structural Integrity (Web of Science and Scopus) or in peer-reviewed Russian journals (the list of journals is to be specified).

The scope of the event corresponds to the priority lines of fundamental research in the field of materials sciences and takes into account the world development trends.
