Among the over 400 participants from all over the globe, our institute was represented by Prof. R. Pippan, who delivered a plenary lecture on fracture and fatigue of ultra-fine grained materials, and Prof. D. Kiener, who gave an invited lecture on local probing of thermally activated properties. In addition, DI. W. Ochensberger had a talk about his Ph.D. work, the physically correct characterization of the crack growth rate in low cycle fatigue with the J-integral, and the retired colleague, Dr. B. Ortner, reported on a new analysis method for residual stress determination.
