Seventh International Conference on |
| Materials Structure & Micromechanics of Fracture | |
|
MSMF7,
in Brno, Czech Republic, July 1 - 3, 2013 |
The basic idea of the MSMF-1 was to get together particularly the Czech and Slovak scientists working in the fields of physics and mechanics of fracture as well as of the materials structure modelling. Nearly 40 leading Czech and Slovak experts and some internationally recognised scientists from USA and Austria (e.g., V. Vitek, H. P. Stüwe, M. Zehetbauer) took part in 5 sessions of this colloquium. This national colloquium on Spatial Models of the Microstructure & Micromechanics of Fracture took place in Brno, Czech Republic, September 7- 8. The contributions were published in the scientific journal Metallic Materials (Kovové mater).
The basic idea of the MSMF-2 was to get together an international society of materials scientists dealing with the advanced theoretical and experimental methods applied to modelling and investigation of materials structure and fracture. Therefore, appropriate sections and sessions were arranged according to the research approaches in contrast to the classical manner according to either material- or fracture classes. Thus, sections like Atomistic Models, Models Based on Crystal Defects, Numerical and Statistical Models, Advanced Experimental Methods and Relationships between Structure and Mechanical Properties appeared. The 2nd International Conference on Materials Structure & Micromechanics of Fracture took place in Brno, Czech Republic, July 1- 3, 1998.
Nearly 100 scientists from 11 countries participated in the MSMF-2 meeting. Two plenary lectures were given by V. Vitek and C. Laird from the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Moreover, J. Petit (ENSMA, France), A. Krasowski (UAS, Ukraine), G. E. Beltz (Santa Barbara, California), M. Zehetbauer (Vienna Univ., Austria), R.

Lukáč from the Charles Univ. in Prague, P. Lukáš and J. Polák from Inst. of Physics of Materials in Brno, I. Saxl from the Inst. of Mathematics in Prague, etc.). Proceedings of the MSMF-2 consisted of the 4 special issues of scientific journals Metallic Materials (Kovové mater.) and Engineering Mechanics (Inž. mechanika). More than 90 oral and poster contributions were presented and discussed during the conference. Participants enjoyed also the accompanied social programme.
