The scientific programme of the 14th International Fatigue Congress (IFC14) will cover a broad spectrum of topics related to fatigue, fracture, and structural integrity across multiple scales, materials, and applications. Contributions from academic, research, and industrial communities are welcome. The programme is structured into thematic areas, each containing several focused subtopics to promote in-depth discussion and knowledge exchange.
