26 June 2025
Kalamata, Greece

Tutorials of distinguished speakers in the international community, scientists (academia, industry) and commercial simulation software developers and/or open access developers on advanced methods for simulation/modelling and characterization of metallic materials at different length scales, that will aim in sustainable and cost-efficient component design with increased durability.

The tutorials will consist of lectures together with demonstration of calculation and simulation examples, therefore with high interest for researchers attending the Workshop, to have the opportunity to combine the theory with practical problems.

The methods will cover recent advances in the fields of simulation and characterization of metallic materials and will include novel simulation methods of material processes (e.g corrosion, recyclability, heat treatment, additive manufacturing etc.) and advanced characterization techniques of material microstructure and properties. The metallic materials will include high strength steels, advanced ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, light metals, nanostructured metallic materials and additive manufactured metalsRead more

Kalamata, Greece

The effective prevention of failure in engineering structures necessitates a profound depth of expertise. It frequently mandates a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach, taking into account both size and time dimensions, tailored to the specific application at hand. Over the past decades, failure prevention is becoming an integral part of holistic approaches that encompass aspects of quality, performance, financial viability, and ecological sustainability of materials and structures. In parallel, the emergence of new materials and manufacturing methodologies, such as Additive Manufacturing, has widened the perspectives for engineering structures.

Furthermore, advancements in digitalizing engineering through the exploitation of the progress made in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, the increasing use of virtual tests, digital twins, and virtual certification, etc., are offering new technological opportunities whilst at same time pose new challenges which must be addressed. The series of the International Conference of Engineering Against Failure (ICEAF) aims to provide on a biennial basis a Forum to present relevant scientific and technological achievements and discuss with an audience of international experts.

The Conference aims to attract interdisciplinary work dedicated to: the design against engineering failure, the implementation of appropriate guidelines against failure, the development and application of concepts and technologies to prevent of failure, the use of both, novel and established approaches, technologies, and tools for failure analysis, the prevention of failure through structural health monitoring and non-destructive-inspection and testing, as well as the deep understanding of the underlying failure mechanisms and the identification of the failure root causes.

Research contributions are expected to cover various technological areas including aeronautics and space, automotive, marine, sustainable energy technologies, oil refineries and chemical industry, civil engineering applications, bioengineering, and medical applications, etc. 
The ICEAF VIII Conference is co-chaired by Spiros Pantelakis (Professor Emeritus, University of Patras, Laboratory of Technology and Strength of Materials) and Spyros Diplas (SINTEF) who jointly undertake the scientific responsibility of the Conference. ICEAF VIII will be the eighth event of a biennial conference series that commenced in Patras in May 2008 and gathers high-level scientists from all over the world.Read more

16 October 2024 to 18 October 2024
Bardolino - Verona

AIM is glad to announce the 9th European Coke and Ironmaking Congress (ECIC) to be held in 

Bardolino, Italy, on 16-18 October 2024.  

ECIC 2024 will focus on the newest technologies in coke making, sintering, pelletizing, pyrolizing the biomasses and ironmaking (blast furnaces, direct reduction and carbon-based smelting processes). 

The 2025 goal of carbon neutrality and the related intensive efforts of the steel industry will affect  significantly the technologies for iron ore reduction. In this perspective, the shortage of iron ores  matching the requirement for direct reduction by gas and for melting in electric arc furnace makes important proposal of new technologies and devices that can ensure the carbon neutrality even for the coal based routes.  

This congress will focus on technologies that can achieve such a goal improving the efficiency of the existing process, applying the devices that avoid a net emission of green house gases and to point out new routes based on exploitation of biomasses whose net emission is intrinsically neutral. Read more
