Advanced materials have an increasing role in engineering, in various industrial applications. These materials operate in severe environments, withstand complex multi-axial loading conditions. Fracture of advanced materials is a major problem that may occur inside the structure and at the interfaces between the different materials. This symposium will accept papers that can highlight the following areas:

Fracture mechanics problems of structures from advanced materials, failure of composite structures under combined loading conditions. Comparison of computational and/or analytical and experimental methods in composite structures under different loading conditions. Interface problems in structures from advanced materials.
