TC3 UPDATE 2005
The present TC3 Sub-Committees are listed below:
TC3.1 "Multiaxial Fatigue", chaired by Professor Ewald Macha (E-mail: emac@po.opole.pl).
The main objective of TC3.1 is the development of existing algorithms and the formulation of new procedures in order to
estimate fatigue life of machine components and civil engineering structures subjected to multiaxial service loading,
based on mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation, identified during tests. A Research Project entitled
"Energy-based approach to multiaxial fatigue using the critical plane" is in progress (see 'TC3 Update').
TC3.2 "High Temperature Fatigue", initially chaired by Professor Jean Petit of Ecole Nationale Supérieure de
Mécanique et d'Aérotechnique in Futuroscope, France. Due to the commitments of Professor Petit, a new Chairman
will be appointed as soon as possible.
Professor Andrea Carpinteri and Professor Les P. Pook are going to organise a Mini-Symposium on "Numerical
Approaches to Fatigue" at ICF 11 (11th International Conference on Fracture, Turin, Italy, March 20th to 25th, 2005).
Experts interested in participating in such a Mini-Symposium are invited to contact
'andrea.carpinteri@unipr.it' by E-mail as soon as possible.
Professor Andrea Carpinteri and Professor Les P. Pook are planning to organise an ESIS international conference
on "Crack Paths" to be held in 2006 (see the ESIS website http://www.esisweb.org ; information available in a close future).

Main Objectives of ESIS 2003
The main objective of this Committee has been to organize a well structured group of Sub-Committees in order to analyze some
major issues not yet completely understood in the field of fatigue.
Professor Andrea Carpinteri and Professor Les P Pook (TC3 Co-Chairmen) and Dr Andrea Spagnoli (TC3 Secretary) have collected
suggestions on which specific fatigue aspects should have been examined by individual TC3 Sub-Committees, and how to build up
the strength of TC3. Active subcommittees are:
TC3.1 - "Multiaxial Fatigue", chaired by Professor Ewald Macha (Email:emac@po.opole.pl).
The main objective of TC3.1 is the development of existing algorithms and the formulation of new procedures in order
to estimate fatigue life of machine components and civil engineering structures subjected to multiaxial service loading,
based on mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation, identified during tests. A Research Project entitled "Energy-based
approach to multiaxial fatigue using the critical plane" is in progress.
TC3.2 - "High Temperature Fatigue", initially chaired by Professor Jean Petit of Ecole Nationale Supérieure de
Mécanique et d'Aérotechnique in Futuroscope, France. Due to the commitments of Professor Petit, a new Chairman will be
appointed as soon as possible.
TC3 Officers have advertised and co-ordinated fatigue activities so that they have been arranged out-of-phase.
Therefore let the TC3 Officers know also about activities being planned in the future (especially as far as fatigue conferences are concerned) so that TC3 Officers can be more efficient in the circulation of information.
Furthermore, the TC3 Committee has requested up-dated information for the TC3 database to ensure that all TC3
members received information at the correct address, well in advance of any meetings. Besides the postal address,
FAX number and ESIS membership number, we also require the e-mail address of all ESIS members interested in TC3.
- ESIS TC3 Activities during the present year (2003)
2.1 Professor Les P. Pook (London) has been the Guest Editor of a Special Issue of the international Journal
"Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures" (FFEMS), under the title "Biaxial/Multiaxial Fatigue",
Vol. 26, No. 6, 2003. Associate Guest Editors have been Professor K. Dang Van (École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France)
and Professor Cetin Morris Sonsino (Fraunhofer- Institute für Betriebsfestigkeit, LBF, Darmstadt, Germany).
2.2 Professor Andrea Carpinteri (Parma), Professor Manuel de Freitas (Lisbon) and Dr Andrea Spagnoli (Parma)
are the Editors of an ESIS Special Technical Publication (ESIS STP Volume 31) entitled "Biaxial/Multiaxial Fatigue
and Fracture", published by Elsevier Science Ltd. (ISBN 0-08-044129-7, http://www.elsevier.nl/) in 2003.
2.3 Professor Alfredo Navarro (Seville), Professor Eduardo de los Rios (Sheffield), Professor Andrea Carpinteri
(Parma) and Professor Pook (London) have been the Chairmen of an ESIS international conference on "Cumulative Fatigue
Damage" (CFD 2003) held in Seville, Spain, 26th to 30th May, 2003.
2.4 Professor Andrea Carpinteri (Parma) and Professor Les P. Pook (London) have been the Chairmen of an
ESIS international conference on "Fatigue Crack Paths" (FCP 2003) held in Parma, Italy, 18th to 20th September,
2003. Such a conference has drawn together the different strategies that designers and failure analysts face in
relation to 3- dimensional stress-strain fields, projected fracture paths, critical plane approaches, and the
fundamentals of Stage I (shear) and Stage II (tensile type) cracks. Physicists, metallurgists and fracture mechanics
experts have all been required to solve some long-term problems presenting high quality papers.
2.5 Professor Andrea Carpinteri (Parma) and Professor Les P. Pook (London) are the Guest Editors of a Special
Issue of the international Journal "Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures" (FFEMS), under
the title "Fatigue Crack Paths" (in progress).
- ESIS TC3 Present and planned future activities
3.1 Professor Cetin Morris Sonsino (Darmstadt) is the Chairman of the Seventh International "Biaxial/Multiaxial
Fatigue and Fracture" conference to be held in Berlin, 28th to 30th June, 2004. Co-Chairmen are Professor P.D.
Portella (Berlin) and Professor H. Zenner (Clausthal- Zellerfeld). The aim of this conference is not only to display
the substantial international progress achieved in understanding of multiaxial fatigue and fracture behavior during the
past years, but also to illustrate how research results apply to industrial practice and to close the gap between design
and manufacturing engineers and scientists. Associated failure assessment procedures are now becoming more complex, and
it is essential to have a forum that includes experimentalists, theoreticians, industrial practitioners and academic experts.
3.2 Professor Andrea Carpinteri (Parma) and Professor Les P. Pook (London) are going to organize a Mini - Symposium on
" Numerical Approaches to Fatigue " at ICF 11 (11th International Conference on Fracture, Turin, Italy,
March 20th to 25th, 2005). Experts interested in participating in such a Mini - Symposium are invited to
contact andrea.carpinteri@unipr.it by email.
3.3 Professor Andrea Carpinteri (Parma) and Professor Les P. Pook (London) are planning to organize an ESIS international
conference on
"Crack Paths" to be held in 2006 (see the ESIS website http://www.esisweb.org ; information available in a close future).
