The Engineering Integrity Society's Fatigue 2003 conference included contributions from leading figures in the world of fatigue and durability.

The Engineering Integrity Society's Fatigue 2003 conference, "Fatigue and durability assessment of materials, components and structures", included contributions from leading figures in the world of fatigue and durability.

The three-day conference was attended by 94 delegates from 18 countries with 14 parallel sessions covering aerospace fatigue, early crack formation, ground vehicle fatigue, multi-axial fatigue, ceramics and coatings, manufacturing processes, test methods, life extension, creep fatigue, materials and high cycle fatigue.

The conference was opened by the Society's chairman, Prof John Draper, and began with a plenary session comprising three papers on "Historical perspectives", presented by Prof Rod Smith of Imperial College, a Fellow of Queens', Prof Bela Sandor of Wisconsin University and Prof Eann Patterson of Sheffield University.

Prof Bela Sandor gave an after dinner lecture on "Virtual rides on Tut and Ben Hur chariots" and Society President, Dr Peter Watson, gave an amusing talk on "Fatigue past and present".

The EIS prize for best paper by a young engineer was so closely contested that it was divided and presented to Stuart Hambling (winner) and Rachel Edwards (runner-up).

The final day finished with a plenary session of three papers on "The future of fatigue" presented by Prof Neil James of Plymouth University, Prof John Evans of Swansea University and Prof Rob Richie of Berkeley University.

The Conference Proceedings are available from the EIS at GBP 65 per copy, plus postage and packing.
