DECLAMATION OF AIMS AND ACTIVITIES:
Specifically:
- To foster research and collaboration regarding the prevention of failure, by fracture or other physical phenomena, of engineering structures, components, systems and materials.
- To encourage interdisciplinary research into the physical behaviour of engineering structures, components, systems and their associated materials.
- To develop and assess new testing methods, numerical methods, and engineering estimation methods for structural integrity assessments.
- To improve engineering designs.
- To improve manufacturing, inspection and maintenance procedures.
- To disseminate knowledge, by means of scientific publications, technical conferences, seminars, workshops, procedure documents, and to refer new knowledge and developments to national and international code making bodies, including CEN and ISO, where relevant.
- To educate young engineers and scientists in structural integrity matters.
