Patras, Greece
Conference Objective
The 2nd International Conference on Airworthiness and Fatigue (ICAF-2014) will take place at the Conference & Cultural Center of the University of Patras in Patras, Greece on July 14-18, 2014. This is the sequel of the first Conference (ICAF-2013) which was held in Beijing, China on March 25-27, 2013.
Abstracts for the Conference are now being accepted until January 31, 2014 on topics related to Airworthiness and Fatigue.
Design and manufacturing know-how are material specific. Fatigue behavior of composites has been known to differ from that of metals. The 21st century marks the era where ultra high strength and light weight composites and alloys will be used more sparingly for fabricating jet transports to enhance fuel efficiency. Therefore, issues such as fatigue damage initiation and propagation, joining, durability and impact behavior may become comparably significant.
The main objective of this international conference is to provide a global forum for researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and administrators from jet transport sector and research institutions to present their issues that are not only technical and managerial interactive but also affected by inter-cultural differences.
