| Scope |
This symposium will provide a collaborative platform for researchers exploring the intricate relationship between corrosion/oxidation and cracking behavior. It aims to bring together theorists and experimentalists to discuss the origins of stress that lead to cracking, and to deepen our understanding of crack initiation and growth in corrosion systems. Topics will include all forms of corrosion-related cracking, such as stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, environmental embrittlement, oxide spallation, and cracking in thermal and environmental barrier coatings.
We welcome contributions from both experimental and computational studies. Preference will be given to theoretical and computational work that elucidates the mechanisms of cracking, rather than focusing solely on computational techniques. On the experimental side, we seek studies that provide detailed microstructural characterization to reveal the underlying physics of crack formation and propagation, moving beyond macroscopic observations. |
