Welcome to Fatigue 2026

Welcome to the 14th International Fatigue Congress – Fatigue 2026, which will be held from 29th June to 3rd July 2026 in the stunning city of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

Organised by the Portuguese Structural Integrity Society (SPFIE) in collaboration with the Brazilian Association of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering (ABCM), Fatigue 2026 aims to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and professionals from around the world to share the latest developments in fatigue phenomena, structural integrity, and monitoring techniques. This congress represents our ongoing mission to promote focused R&D in applied mechanics and contribute to the development of more reliable and efficient systems.

The conference will take place at the Pestana Casino Park Hotel & Casino, one of the premier venues in Funchal. With its world-class facilities and Madeira’s exceptional hospitality, attendees will enjoy an enriching scientific programme in an inspiring natural setting.

With its vibrant landscapes, spring-like climate year-round, and the UNESCO World Heritage Laurisilva Forest, the archipelago offers the perfect balance between science and serenity. Whether you're walking along the famous levadas, exploring the historical city of Funchal, or enjoying the coastline from a boat, Madeira invites you to experience both discovery and relaxation.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fatigue 2026 and to the unforgettable island of Madeira — a unique venue for scientific exchange, innovation, and international friendship.

Join us in Madeira and be part of shaping the future of fatigue research.
