ESIS_NEWSLETTER_July_2024

ITALY In the months of January and April 2024, the Italian Group of Fracture (IGF) published two issues of Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale – Fracture and Structural Integrity . In June 2024, the journal obtained: - A CiteScore value of 3.4 (to be compared with the value of 2.9 in 2023). - A WoS Impact Factor value of 1.2 (to be compared with the value of 1.4 in 2024). In addition, IGF published the 53rd issue of Procedia Structural Integrity dedicated to the “Third European Conference on the Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactures Materials (ESIAM23)” that was held in Porto, Portugal, (September 4-6, 2023). For the same event, IGF published in ESIS – PH the volume of the videorecordings of the presentations. In 2024, IGF will organize The 8th International Conference on Crack Paths (CP2024) . The event will be held in Rimini, Italy, and online (10 - 12 September 2024) This Conference follows the Conferences in Parma in 2003 and 2006, Vicenza in 2009, Gaeta in 2012, Ferrara in 2015, Verona in 2018 and online in 2021. Members of different industrial laboratories 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 - Integrity Assessments 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 - Effect of Non-Proportional Cyclic Loading on CP - Effect of Environmental Conditions on CP - CP in Advanced Materials - Laboratory Methods of Controlling CP - In-Service Inspection of CP - Application of CP Concepts and Data in Design - CP in Additive Manufacturing Processes - Industrial Application of CP Concepts and Data In 2025, the key event for IGF will be the joint Conference “IGF28 – MedFract3” that will be organized in September in Catania. Filippo Berto RUSSIA From June 19 to June 21, 2024, the 51st school-conference “Current Problems of Mechanics” in memory of Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences D. Indeitsev was held at Novgorod State University under the patronage of the Russian Academy of Sciences. More than 400 scientists from 29 regions of Russia and 50 cities around the world took part in the conference. Among the conference participants are academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences: H. Altenbach (foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the RAS gold medal named after M.
