Aims and scope
The international conferences on Creep and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures are well-established scientific and engineering events that provide an opportunity to present the latest achievements in the field of high temperature strength and structural development in traditional and new materials. Starting with the Swansea times, the presentations and discussions always involved new results and tools from interdisciplinary fields to bridge phenomena occurring across different length and time scales that are common to complex material systems, with applications at elevated and high temperatures. Specifically, the conference CREEP 2027 will focus on both classical as well as new ground-breaking topics in the field. These are mainly:
- Fundamental mechanisms of high temperature deformation in metals, ceramics, additively manufactured, bio-inspired and other materials.
- Damage processes related to creep, thermomechanical fatigue, creep-fatigue interaction, and superplasticity.
- High temperature deformation in/of small volumes.
- Environmental impact on creep damage accumulation, including hydrogen embrittlement.
- Multiscale modelling of high temperature strain accumulation and associated microstructural development.
- Engineering aspects of high temperature deformation.
