Founded in 1965, the International Congress on Fracture is one of the premier international bodies promoting worldwide cooperation among scientists and engineers dealing with mechanics and mechanisms of fracture and strength of solids. The conference is held every four years, and ICF15 will be returning to the continental United States after 32 years. This conference will focus on the latest interdisciplinary research in the field of fracture and is a must attend event for senior and young researchers, students, post-doctoral fellows, and industry professionals working in the field of fracture throughout the world.
