ANNOUNCING… ICRS-8 - The Eighth International Conference on Residual Stresses 6-8 August 2008 - Marriott Denver Tech Center Hotel - Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.
The Eighth International Conference on Residual Stresses (ICRS-8) will take place concurrently with the Denver X-ray Conference (www.dxcicdd.com) from 6 -8 August 2008 at the Marriott Denver Tech Center Hotel, located in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. ICRS is now held every four years; previous meetings were held in Germany (1987), France (1988), Japan (1991), U.S.A. (1994), Sweden (1997), UK (2000) and China (2004).
The conference provides a forum for scientists, academicians, students, and engineers interested in the prediction, evaluation, control, and application of residual stresses. The aim of this conference is to give equal emphasis to the measurement, modeling, and utilization of residual stress/strain data. Both the engineering and scientific aspects of these topics, such as the influence of residual stress fields on distortion, damage initiation, propagation, component lifetimes, and failure, will be addressed. Presentations on all stress determination techniques: diffraction, hole-drilling, slitting and contour, indentation, eddy current measurements, Barkhausen noise analysis, acoustic, and thermal mapping, etc., are welcome, as well as papers on the mechanics and modeling of residual stresses. Contributions from industry on residual stress applications and unsolved problems are especially encouraged.
The program will consist of invited and contributed oral presentations and posters. The conference proceedings will include most of the papers and posters presented, and will be available after the meeting on a CD-ROM.
Please visit this site often for updated information, including details on the program, registration, housing, travel and other necessary information. For information on the concurrent Denver X-ray Conference, please visit: www.dxcicdd.com.
