Organised by Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of
Technology: Institute of Physical Engineering, Institute of Materials Engineering
Sponsored by the Czech Society for New Materials and Technologies (CSNMT);
Approved by the Europen Structure Integrity Society (ESIS)
SCOPE
MSMF-6 will be focused on fundamental relations between structural and mechanical characteristics of materials. Papers dealing with a multiscale approach are particularly welcome. A meeting of ESIS TC2 on Micromechanisms of Fracture and Fatigue will be held during the conference. In occasion of the 70th birthday of Professor Václav Vitek, the "Vasek Vitek Honorary Symposium on Atomistic Simulations of Crystal Defects and Mechanical Properties" will be organized as a special part of the conference.
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM

LOCATION
MSMF-6 will be held at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, Technická 2, Brno, Czech Republic.
VENUE
MSMF-6 will take place at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, Technická 2, Brno-Žabovřesky, Czech Republic. Brno lies in the central part of Europe, in the Czech Republic; it is the second largest city in the coutry (nearly 400 000 inhabitants). It is the centre of the province of Moravia, one of the historic lands of the Czech Crown. Brno is situated in a picturesque countryside (190 - 425 m above sea level), surrounded on three sides by wooded hills and opening to the Southern Moravian lowlands. Geographically, Brno is part of the Danube Basin and has many historical ties to the Austrian capital Vienna, which lies a mere 110 km to the south. Brno enjoys a very pleasant, moderate climate, ideal for recreation and everyday living.
