Abstract:  
Following the successful symposia in Trondheim in 2011, in Paris in 2014 and in Lecco in 2017, the Organizing Committee is announcing the 4th International Symposium on Fatigue Design and Material Defects. An exhibition will accompany the symposium. Material defects such as non-metallic inclusions, pores, micro-shrinkages, etc., play a crucial role in fatigue crack initiation and propagation which in turn has significant consequences for structural integrity in terms of lifetime, fatigue strength and other characteristics of cyclically loaded components.
