Location

Online Conference

Date

On 13.07.2020 to 14.07.2020

Due corona virus outbreak and for the safety of our participants, FFW 2020 will be held online (virtual conference without any physical participation). The online FFW 2020 consists of two parts: 1) publication of papers in the conference proceedings and 2) presentation of papers by a pre-recorded video or ppt/pdf presentation with audio.

The 8th International Conference on Fracture, Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2020) will be held in the city of Bruges, Belgium from July 13-14, 2020.

The overall objective of FFW 2020 is to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry in fields related to Fracture Mechanics, Fatigue of Materials, Tribology and Wear of Materials. The conference covers industrial engineering applications of the above topics including theoretical and analytical methods, numerical simulations and experimental techniques. One of the aims of conference is to promote cooperation between international scientists and engineers from a large number of disciplines, who are involved in research related to Fracture, Fatigue and Wear.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I look forward to meeting you all in the beautiful city Bruges!
