For more than half a century, Darmstadt has been a centre of essential expertise in structural durability. Test and measurement equipment, computational methods and design philosophies have been developed. To illustrate the continuity of activities in this field several institutes and companies have grouped together to present the Symposium on Structural Durability in Darmstadt. The Symposium is organised by
- Institute for Materials Technology / State Materials Testing Institute (lfW/MPA)
-Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability / System Reliability and Machine Acoustics (LBF/SzM)
- Institute of Steel Construction and Materials Mechanics (IFSW)
- Instron Structural Testing Systems GmbH (IST)
- Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH (HBM).
In order to express respect for the founders of the Darmstadt structural durability tradition the sessions have been titled: Kurt Klöppel, Ernst Gaßner, and August Thum sessions. According to their main research focus, lectures predominantly dealing with materials mechanics are considered in the Klöppel-session, those dealing with variable amplitude loading in engineering structures are grouped in the Gaßner-session, and the Thum-session deals with the material science and technology related aspects of structural durability.
List of Lecturers:
Arz U., Bacher-Hoechst M., Berger C., Bergmann J.W., Brune M., Büter A., Christ H.-J., Eichlseder W., Greuling S., Hanselka H., Heuler P., Miller J., Newman J.C., Nussbaumer A., Sakane M., Samuelsson J., Simon V., Socie D., Sonsino C.M., Störzel K., Vormwald M.
Awards:
The Instron Structural Testing Systems GmbH and the Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH will present awards for outstanding workings on structural durability among Darmstadt's young engineers and scientists.
Exhibition:
Leading manufacturers of testing equipment will inform about structural and materials testing systems.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
