Summer School

Fatigue and Fracture Modeling and Analysis

August 10-11, 2026, Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Summer School provides an opportunity for scientists, researchers and engineers from academia and industry to get acquainted with fundamental aspects of fracture mechanics, recent trends in practical applications of fatigue and fracture models, and advanced approaches such as multiscale materials modelling. Senior researchers and experts will give lectures on experimental and numerical techniques for modelling, analysis and assessment of damaged components and structures. Examples on linear and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics models, damage mechanics models and multiscale modelling used for fatigue, fracture and failure analysis of structural materials and components will be given. Models for fatigue crack growth prediction and remaining fatigue life assessment will be presented.
