The Ukrainian Society on Fracture Mechanics (USFM) presents Ukraine in the ESIS via Ukrainian National Group which participates actively also in the ESIS Technical Committees: TC10 Environmentally Assisted Cracking and TC13 Education and Training.
The VDMDP1 2021 brought together leading scientists, researchers and research scholars to share their experience, research results and scientific ideas regarding key areas of fracture and damage mechanics, structural integrity assessment and maintenance.
It has become an interactive platform for discussion of recent advances, trends and practical challenges in the field of fracture mechanics and structural integrity. Seventy seven (77) contributions from Spain, Poland, Germany, France, India, Iran and Ukraine attended the VDMDP1 2021 Conference.
