INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON FRACTURE
Founded by Professor T. Yokobori in 1965, the International Congress on Fracture (ICF) is now the premier international body for promotion of industrial, experimental & theoretical research, education and worldwide cooperation among scientists and engineers concerned with mechanics and mechanisms of fracture, fatigue and structural integrity of materials, components and systems.
Over the decades, ICF has made considerable progress in providing an opportunity for highlighting individual and national accomplishments in a wide range of disciplines beyond the traditional arenas—from biomedicine to geophysics, from nano/atomic to macro scales, and from physical to holistic and system modeling.
