Welcome to the Mini-symposium "Creep and Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue" (July 23-26, 2013, Montreal, Canada)

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you at mini-symposium Creep and Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue within
the 4th Canadian Conference on Nonlinear Solid Mechanics at McGill University (July 23-26,
2013, Montréal, Canada).

The mini-symposium web-page is:http://cancnsm2013.mcgill.ca/ms26.html

We welcome abstract submissions on the following topics:

• Constitutive models for creep, creep ratcheting and creep-plasticity interactions.
• Continuum Damage Mechanics and Fracture Mechanics approaches for creep and fatigue damage predictions.
• Inelastic structural analysis with (non-uniform) thermal and mechanical loadings.
• Robust methods for creep and fatigue life assessment under service-type loading conditions.

Deadline for submission of abstracts is February 17, 2013.
Organizers of mini-symposium "Creep and Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue":

• Jim Boyle (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK)
• Dmitry Breslavsky (National Technical University "Kharkiv Polythechnic Institute", Ukraine)
• Konstantin Naumenko (Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Germany)
