FAC VII - Fracture of Advanced Ceramics and Glasses


Fractography, Facture Mechanics and Fracture Testing
September, 3th – 5th, 2023

FAC VII aims at

  • providing a forum for researchers around the world to present papers on developments in the field of fracture characterization of recently developed advanced ceramic materials and ceramic matrix composites,
  • promoting the exchange of information between the research community, processing engineers, and users in the field of production, design, and application of advanced ceramics from the point of view of their degradation and failure and
  • discussing the possibilities of collaboration of institutes and companies from different countries in the field of development and testing of advanced ceramics.

Topics of the Conference

Ceramics, glasses, 3D printed ceramics, CAD/CAM ceramics Modelling and statistical evaluation of the fracture processes
Theory of the brittle failure Quantitative fractography, fractal analysis
Fractography in the materials development Indentation failure/damage
Fractography and fracture mechanics Service failures and failure prediction
Influence of temperature, environment and loading regime on the fracture Advanced methods/techniques in fractography

Venue

The conference takes place at Montanuniversitaet Leoben, Austria.
