　　Dear Colleague,

　　On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Advisory Board of 160 world renowned experts it is my great pleasure to extend you a cordial invitation to participate in the 16th European Conference of Fracture (ECF16) to be held in the city of Alexandroupolis, Greece, July 3-7, 2006. ECF16 is organized under the auspices of the European Structural Integrity Society and is sponsored by the American Society of Testing and Materials, the Society of Experimental

　　Mechanics of USA, the British Society for Strain Measurement, the Japanese Society of Materials Science and the Japanese Society for Experimental Mechanics.

　　ECF16 will focus in all aspects of structural integrity with the objective of improving the safety and performance of engineering structures, components, systems and their associated materials. ECF16 will include two tracks devoted to failure analysis of engineering materials and structures, and nanomaterials and nanostructures. Emphasis will be given to micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). The technical program of ECF16 is the product of hard work and devotion of more than 160 world leading experts to whom I am greatly indebted. ECF16 will comprise invited lectures by eminent academics from both sides of the Atlantic together with contributed oral and poster presentations covering all aspect of fracture and fatigue. During the conference special symposia covering major areas of research activity organized by members of the Scientific Advisory Board will take place including a symposium on “Measuring, Monitoring and Modeling Concrete Properties” in honor of Professor S.P. Shah of Nort

　　The attendees of ECF16 will have the opportunity to interact with the most outstanding world leaders and get acquainted with the latest developments in the area of failure of engineering and nano materials and structures. ECF16 will be a forum of university, industry and government interaction and exchange of ideas in an area of utmost scientific and technological importance.

　　I am sure that besides the superb technical program, you will enjoy the majestic city of Alexandroupolis with its unique beaches and scenic beauty, the areas of historical interest and archeological importance of the prefecture of Thrace, our one-day excursion to the nearby island of Samothrace, the delicious local cuisine, and the traditional Greek hospitality.

　　ECF16 will be an unforgettable event from the scientific, social and recreational point of view.

　　Welcome to Alexandroupolis

　　16th European Conference of Fracture

　　Started in 1976, the European Conference of Fracture (ECF) is today the premier activity of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) to promote world-wide cooperation among scientists and engineers concerned with fracture and fatigue of solids. It takes place every two years in a European country.

　　The 16th European Conference of Fracture will focus in all aspects of Structural Integrity with the objective of improving the safety and performance of engineering structures, components, systems and their associated materials. Emphasis will be given in the failure behavior of nanostuctured materials and nanostructures.

　　The 16th European Conference of Fracture will comprise invited lectures together with contributed oral and poster presentations covering all aspect of fracture and fatigue.

　　The language of the conference will be English.
