Hotel Metropol Palace, Belgrade, Serbia
A word from chairmen
The European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) and China Structural Integrity Consortium (CSIC) join forces to pioneer the biennial ESIS-CSIC conferences on Structural Integrity (BECCSI). Established post the Memorandum of Understanding signing during the 2024 International Symposium on Structural Integrity (ISSI2024), this collaborative initiative will rotate between Europe and China, commencing in 2025 in Europe. The inaugural event will be hosted in Belgrade, Serbia, organized by the Serbian Structural Integrity Society (DIVK). Together, we aim to elevate the standards of structural integrity practices and welcome professionals worldwide to engage in this transformative journey.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Belgrade, dear colleagues!
Professor dr. Shan-Tung Tu
Chairman of CSIC
What is the aim of this conference?
The 1st BECCSI will serve as a unique platform for the structural integrity community to explore novel solutions and manufacturing techniques, evaluate advancements in codes and standards, and address key technical challenges in the field of engineering. Furthermore, the event will seek to place these discussions in the broader context of environmental impact and the future landscape of manufacturing, all of it with the ultimate goal to prevent failure and ensure complete structural integrity.
The three-day conference will create a conducive environment for participants to network with international structural integrity leaders. It will facilitate subsequent discussions and the exchange of diverse views and information among attendees. Special focus of the conference will be on young researchers, including a competition for the Best Student Paper Awards.
Presentations and posters will cover a range of fracture and fatigue topics with a special focus on:
Structural integrity for advanced manufacturing
Reliability-centered manufacturing
Fatigue and fracture under extreme conditions
Innovative non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques
Multi-scale material testing, modelling and analysis
Structural health monitoring and life extension
Artificial intelligence and big data
Numerical simulation of fracture and fatigue process
Engineering damage mechanics
Aircraft mechanics and control
