Conference, Meeting of Fracture Mechanics Specialists in Hamburg, Germany

DVM-AK Bruch, 52. Meeting
Fracture mechanical material and component evaluation: stress analysis, test methods and applications

 

The Fracture Mechanics and Component Safety working group met for the 52nd time to discuss current developments, research results and applications. Specialists from all over Germany used the 2 days to exchange ideas in an open and cooperative manner.

An interesting and varied conference program offered the participants many new insights into current developments in fracture research. For IWT-Solutions AG, represented by Prof. Dr. Peter Langenberg, the new mechanical damage methods for component safety as well as the contributions to fracture and damage modeling on ductile cast iron were of particular importance. We expect these new methods to be used soon and are grateful for the cooperation with the IEHK of RWTH Aachen University and the BA Freiberg on these topics.

At the end of the conference, we would like to thank the organization team from DVM e.V. and the program committee for the successful organization and look forward to the next AK Bruch 2021 in Bremen.
