We are cordially inviting technical papers to the computational damage and fracture assessment for pressure vessels and pipelines symposium that will be held within the APCOM 2019 conference. Computational damage and fracture assessment for pressure vessels and pipelines is one of crucial elements in design, maintenance and life assessment of pressurized components in power generation, gas and petrochemical plants.
Topics of this mini-symposium cover all aspects of computational damage and fracture assessment for pressure vessels and pipelines; theoretical damage model, application of damage model to design and structural integrity of pressure vessels and pipelines, computational modeling on mechanical behavior of materials, and life assessment (fatigue and fracture) of pressure vessels and pipelines. Papers covering aspects of significant practical application are also welcome.
