International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis (ICEFA2018) will bring together world-class researchers, users and specialists involved in all aspects of failure analysis and prevention from the fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering.

The strengths of past conferences have been the emphasis on practical application of technical knowledge to engineering failure analysis and the extensive use of case studies to the development of an understanding of engineering failures. The case study approach is strongly encouraged as an important mechanism for developing a body of knowledge well rooted in practical experience

Topics:

• Engineering failure modes for metallic and non-metallic engineering materials
• Approaches to failure analysis
• Role of service loading in failure analysis
  
• Case studies of failures in industry sectors such as aerospace, marine and offshore, automotive, rail, power generation, mining and minerals, consumer goods, medical devices and others
• Historical disasters
• Structural and architectural failures
• Failure analysis and joining technologies
• Role of condition monitoring and NDT in failure avoidance
• Failure analysis, maintenance and reliability
• Role of failure analysis in the design process
• Legal matters, ethical issues and insurance in the failure analysis industry
• Training and accreditation in failure analysis research and industry

Primer Encuentro de Jovenes Investigadores en Ciencia de Materiales

Four short-courses or tutorials will be held on Sunday November 5th prior to ICOTOM:

• A Guide to Practical Crystallography and its Applications to Materials Textures
• Practical Tutorial on MTEX
• Practical Tutorial on Dream.3d
• Texture Analysis from Diffraction Data using MAUD Application Examples and Hands-on Tutorial

Topics

• Plenary & Prize Sessions
• Advances in Neutron Methods
• Hard Condensed Matter
• Soft Matter
• Biological Structures and Dynamics
• Neutrons for Energy and Sustainability
• Materials Chemistry and Synthesis
• Structural Materials and Engineering
• Neutron Physics

The school aims to provide advanced training of neutron, X-ray, and light scattering experiments for young post-graduates and post-doctors in the field of soft matter science. A primary focus will be on the methodology of static and dynamic scattering techniques and provide information on data interpretation and recent applications and developments.

Registration for the school is now open, with a deadline of 21st February 2018.

The school is limited to 35 students. There is an estimated participation fee of 850 euros, which includes the cost of accommodation with full board and additional recreational activities.

You are cordially invited to participate to the 6th TUNISIAN CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC MEETING (TCM6) by submitting a paper and actively assisting in its work.

TCM6 is intended to provide an excellent opportunity for National, Maghreb and International researchers to make their own work known to a wider audience and to have discussions with other participants. This conference will also be an opportunity to exchange experiences, create and consolidate cooperation between different research structures.

This outstanding conference, organized by the “Tunisian Crystallographic Association”, will take place from 1â€"5 November 2017 in a beautiful and exotic Hotel: El Mouradi Djerba Menzel 4* on Djerba Island, an ecological place, very popular by its palm groves, its beaches and its wetlands populated by various species of migratory birds.

The conference will expand to cover a broad set of research topics about:

• Crystal Structure of Materials, Nanoparticles and Minerals
• Chemical Crystallography
• Cements
• Thin films
• Magnetic order and its consequences
• Dielectrics and multiferroics
• Crystal structure relationships and their applications
• Semiconductor devices and their applications
