International Conference “In-service Damage of Materials: Diagnostics and Prediction”

VIII International Conference
“In-service Damage of Materials:
Diagnostics and Prediction”

(VDMDP1)

October 15-17, 2025

Ternopil, Ukraine

About the Conference

Investigations of the damage accumulation in metals involve both the development of the fundamentals for describing this phenomenon and methods for assessing the strength and life of structural elements taking into account the whole set of the design and operational factors.

VIII International Conference “In-service Damage of Materials: Diagnostics and Prediction” will make possible to analyze and generalize the results of new theoretical and experimental studies into the processes of damage accumulation, crack initiation and propagation, diagnostics of damages in order to ensure the strength and reliability of structural elements.
