Papers are invited for ASTM International’s 23rd International ASTM/ESIS Symposium on Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics, to be held Nov. 12-13, 2025, in Atlanta, GA. The event is sponsored by ASTM International’s fatigue and fracture committee (E08).

This symposium specifically aims to focus on environmental effects in fatigue and fracture of all types of materials.

It is intended to be a forum for exchange of ideas, test methods, data, and analysis methods with a focus on current issues related to fatigue and fracture in aggressive environments. Addressing the latest concerns of energy security, transport, and quality of life, will depend on a richer understanding of environmental durability. All groups of structural materials and engineered components will be crucial, ranging from conventional metals and composites, to additively manufactured and hybrid materials.

This symposium also seeks to bring together academics, industry researchers, and research organizations to collaboratively address these key areas. Workers in previously niche areas can take the opportunity to showcase existing work and share the “state of the art” with new workers entering the field. Equally, workers on novel techniques and new materials need a good forum of peers with whom to discuss findings.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Environmentally Assisted Cracking (EAC) in 7XXX Alloys;
• Stress corrosion cracking & corrosion fatigue;
• Hydrogen embrittlement;
• Fatigue & fracture in cryogenic environments;
• High temperature fracture and creep behavior;
• Thermomechanical fatigue & creep-fatigue;
• Effects of radiation damage on fracture and fatigue properties;
• Hydrogen transportation and high-pressure hydrogen storage;
• And dynamic & high strain rate fracture.

To participate in the conference, authors must submit a 2 to 3-page abstract using the ASTM Extended Abstracts template provided in the online Abstract Submission Portal no later than Nov. 30, 2024. To ensure your abstract was received into the ASTM database, please email symposia@astm.org and let us know that you have submitted an abstract.
