Research shared at the Symposium came from across the globe. The topics highlighted this year revolved around welded and bolted joints, effects of corrosion, thermomechanical and low cycle fatigue, lightweight design as well as fatigue testing.
As in previous years, Instron awarded scientific studies in the field of fatigue related research. This year a group of four young scientists from Darmstadt were awarded for their work on "Fatigue Assessment of Weld Ends".
