6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS (ICM-6) 29 July-2 August 1991, Kyoto, Japan The 6th ICM is again being organised in Kyoto after successful conference in Boston, Cambridge, Stockholm and Beijing. The sixth conference ICM-6 is one of the activities commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Society of Materials Science, Japan. The conference will cover topics on all aspects of mechanical behaviour of materials: --Mechanical Behaviour of Advanced Materials. --Fundamentals and Renewed Subjects. --New Concepts in Structural Design. --New Technology in Testing and Evaluation. Several workshops on the fundamentals and applications of materials behaviour will be organised by internationally renowned specialists. Refereed papers will also be included in these workshops. The following are planned: --Computational Plasticity. --Dynamic Plasticity and Fracture. --Reliability Analysis and Reliability-Based Design. --Statistical Properties of Advanced Materials. --Computer-Assisted Fatigue Technology. --Advanced Techniques in Structural Integrity Assessment. --Fatigue of Advanced and Functional Materials. --Localised Corrosion. --Interfaces and Processing of Fibre-Reinforced Composites. --Strength and Fracture of Metal and Matrix Composites. --Mechanical Properties of Intermetallic Compounds. --Polymer Alloys.
