Keynote Speaker

Prof. Luca Susmel

Professor of Structural Integrity, the University of Sheffield, UK

Luca Susmel studied his undergraduate degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Padova, Italy, and completed his PhD between Padova and Dublin, Ireland.

From 2001 to 2011 he spent at least six months every year lecturing and doing research in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Trinity College, Dublin. In 2005, he was appointed Associate Professor in Structural Integrity at the University of Ferrara, Italy. He joined the Sheffield Department of Civil and Structural Engineering in 2011 to continue his research on the fatigue and fracture behaviour of engineering materials, components and structures. 

Speech Title: An advanced elasto-plastic approach to design notched metals against variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue loading

Abstract: An advanced fatigue lifetime estimation technique suitable for assessing variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue strength of notched metallic materials is formulated and validated using a large number of experimental results we generated in our laboratory. The proposed design approach takes full advantage of the Modified Manson-Coffin Curve Method, the Shear Strain-Maximum Variance Method and the elasto-plastic Point Method. In order to assess the accuracy of this new fatigue lifetime estimation technique V-notched cylindrical specimens made of unalloyed medium-carbon steel En8 were tested under proportional/non-proportional constant/variable amplitude axial-torsional loading. Thanks to this validation exercise, it was seen that the usage of our advanced fatigue lifetime assessment approach results in accurate estimates, with this holding true independently of sharpness of the stress/strain raiser and complexity of the load history.

Prof. Gilbert-Rainer Gillich

Professor of Mechanics in the Faculty of Engineering and Management at „Eftimie Murgu” University of Resita, Romania

Prof Gilbert-Rainer Gillich is a full time Professor of Mechanics in the Faculty of Engineering and Management at "Eftimie Murgu" University of Resita, Romania. He received his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (1986) and his Ph.D. in Strength of Materials, Elasticity and Plasticity (1999), both from Politehnica University Timisoara, Romania. His research interests include damage detection, condition monitoring and vibration control including base isolation. 

Speech Title: A model to predict the evolution of the natural frequencies of a beam due to damage: the equivalent healthy beam

Abstract: Structures change their dynamic behavior when affected by various types of damage. The challenge of scientists and practitioners is to identify the position and severity of the damage, but this is hampered by the fact that the nature of the defect is not known a priori. In reality, these three characteristics cannot be evaluated separately. In most cases, when we intend to identify the position and severity of the damage, we assume a certain type of deterioration depending on the nature of the structure and the operational and environmental tasks acting on it.
