March 7, 2013 – March 7, 2013Crack growth can take place under both static and fatigue loading. The complete solution of a crack growth problem includes the determination of the path taken by the crack. The crack path in a critical component or structure in aerospace, automotive, offshore and other industries can determine whether failure is benign or catastrophic. Knowledge of potential crack paths is also needed for the selection of appropriate non-destructive testing procedures. Agreement between theoretically predicted and experimentally determined crack paths is sometimes poor, and further information is needed on how to ensure that a crack path is benign.
The determination of crack paths is a matter of concern to engineers, industry experts and research scientists, from both a fundamental science standpoint and a technological one. The International Conference on Crack Paths will bring together both fatigue and fracture experts from Industries, Universities and so on, to exchange recent information and provide a discussion forum on how to promote research and development in this field early in the 21st Century.
The scope of this Conference is to focus on the state-of-the-art experimental techniques, and numerical and analytical models for the determination of crack paths in solids made of a broad range of materials, together with the application of crack path data to the design of components and structures subjected to both static and fatigue loading.
This Conference follows the Conferences FCP 2003 and CP 2006, held in Parma, Italy. Special issues of International journals have been devoted to work presented at those Conferences (Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, Vol.28, No.1-2, 2005, and Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Vol.75, No.3-4, 2008).
Members of different industries and scientists from all over the world are invited to contribute with presentations on any of the following topics (in the case of both static and fatigue loading):
Experimental Determination of CP
Theoretical Prediction of CP
Life Assessment Methods based on CP Evaluation
Microscopic Aspects of CP
CP of Surface Cracks
CP of Short Cracks
Effect of Large Scale Yielding on CP
Effect of Material Inhomogeneities on CP

March 8, 2013 – March 8, 2013Crack growth can take place under both static and fatigue loading. The complete solution of a crack growth problem includes the determination of the path taken by the crack. The crack path in a critical component or structure in aerospace, automotive, offshore and other industries can determine whether failure is benign or catastrophic. Knowledge of potential crack paths is also needed for the selection of appropriate non-destructive testing procedures. Agreement between theoretically predicted and experimentally determined crack paths is often poor, and there is relatively little information available on how to ensure that a crack path is benign.
The determination of crack paths is a matter of concern to engineers, industry experts and research scientists, from both a fundamental science standpoint and a technological one. The International Conference on Crack Paths will bring together both fatigue and fracture experts from Industries, Universities and so on, to exchange recent information and provide a discussion forum on how to promote research and development in this field early in the 21st Century.

First Multi-Lateral Workshop on “Fracture and Structural Integrity related Issues”
September 15, 2014 – September 17, 2014The Italian, Portuguese and Spanish Groups of Fracture are strenuous scientific associations involved in several activities run under the umbrella of both ESIS (European Structural Integrity Society) and ICF (International Congress on Fracture). They regularly organise national and international events to promote discussions and the free exchange of ideas in areas of interest to the fields of fracture and structural integrity. The Italian, Portuguese and Spanish Groups of Fracture are organising this first multilateral workshop not only to increase the level of cooperation amongst the Groups themselves, but also to give prominence to the research work done in the Iberian-Latin region of Europe on fracture and structural integrity related issues. In this friendly context, also researchers from other countries than Spain, Portugal and Italy are cordially invited to participate in this unique research workshop designed to allow scientists and engineers to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas in an informal and interactive format at a conference venue in a beautifully scenic Italian island.

Giornata IGF Forni di Sopra (UD) 2012
February 17, 2012 – February 17, 2012Il Gruppo Italiano della Frattura (IGF) in collaborazione con i gruppi di Costruzione di Macchine dell’Università di Ferrara, dell’Università di Padova e dell’Università di Udine ha organizzato questo Workshop sulle problematiche legate alla frattura nei materiali per l’ingegneria, con l’intento di stimolare il dibattito su questo attuale e importante tema. In particolare, il presente Workshop vuole rappresentare una occasione di approfondimento sia sui meccanismi di danneggiamento sia sulle diverse metodologie di progettazione/modellazione al variare della tipologia del materiale e del carico applicato. Con l’intento di dare ampia possibilità di presentare in modo adeguato le attività scientifiche svolte in tale ambito dai diversi Gruppi di Ricerca, si vorrebbero raccogliere memorie che sintetizzino il lavoro svolto nel recente passato, le problematiche aperte, nonché i possibili sviluppi futuri. Inoltre, vista la trasversalità del tema oggetto del presente Workshop, si vorrebbero organizzare delle sessioni che coinvolgano, a vario titolo, problematiche di Metallurgia, di Scienza delle Costruzioni e di Costruzione di Macchine.
Le memorie presentate saranno raccolte in formato elettronico in una penna USB, nonché direttamente scaricabili dal sito internet IGF. In più, successivamente al Workshop, verrà stampato un numero speciale di “Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale" (ISSN 1971-8993), rivista ufficiale del Gruppo Italiano Frattura, con l’obiettivo di dare una sintetica testimonianza sullo stato dell’arte in Italia riguardo alle problematiche legate alla Frattura nei Materiali per l’Ingegneria.

International symposium on CASE HISTORY ON INTEGRITY AND FAILURES IN INDUSTRY
January 11, 2011 – January 11, 2011?The Italian Group of Fracture (lGF) was born in 1982 as an aggregation cluster of scientists involved in the discipline of fracture. Since that time the organisation has grown, also through yearly national conferences and other important initiatives like the present one. Today the Group counts several hundreds of members and affiliates, who go-on considering this association as a cross-roads and a reference point for the development of the subjects of common interest. IGF is the natural representative of Italy within analogous international associations (European Structural Integrity Society, International Conference on Fracture, etc.), besides being the promoter for the Italian standardization of technical procedures and recommendations.
Fracture is a natural and frequent phenomenon, the consequences of which are both positive, like in wood-cutting and mining works, and negative e.g. in the orthopaedic as well as in the structural field. Fracture Mechanics has gained a primary role in the analysis of the mechanical behaviour of materials. The fundamental aspects of elasticity and plasticity being already clarified, the research cutting edge is focusing on the several damage phenomena - smeared or discrete - occurring with a decrease of the loading capacity when the structural deformation increases. This post-peak loading stage represents the pre-collapse condition, and is investigated today both experimentally and numerically. During such an unstable and final process, the elementary failure mechanisms may interact, e.g. brittle fracture propagation, plastic deformation, fatigue, creep, instability of the equilibrium, etc. etc Any attempt to describe and to investigate the transient period of the failure process, according to the actual sequence of the critical events, is therefore extremely significant. As long as the failures of industrial components and civil structures are approached and investigated in a systematic and consistent manner by the global technical community, the designers will be able to improve their predictions, and the post-mortem investigators will be able to go back to the true causes. Having clear the strong conceptual and practical connections between theory, computer simulation and experiments on one hand, and the "case histories on integrity and failures" on the other, we have felt the institutional duty of IGF, besides the pleasure, to encourage and support this meritorious initiative. -

Summer School 2008
July 21, 2008 – July 24, 2008Theory of elasticity must be learned from the viewpoint of mechanics and not from the viewpoint of applied mathematics. In this lecture, first of all the basic but important principles of theory of elasticity will be lectured with a unique new way of thinking. The attractive solutions for many interesting problems will be shown. It will be lectured that the solutions for problems which look very difficult at a first glance can be solved easily with the application of the basic principles and the new way of thinking lectured in this course.
The clear concept and correct understanding of Stress Concentration are essentially important for strength design and failure analysis.
