This symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on fatigue, fracture, and mechanical testing.

Dec 08, 2025

Papers are invited for ASTM International’s Sixth Symposium on Evaluation of Existing and New Sensor Technologies for Fatigue, Fracture, and Mechanical Testing, to be held Nov. 4, 2026, in Jacksonville, FL, USA. The event is sponsored by ASTM International’s fatigue and fracture committee (E08) and mechanical testing committee (E28) and will be held in conjunction with the committees’ standards development meetings.

This symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on current research and user experiences in existing and new sensor technologies for fatigue, fracture, and mechanical testing. Attendees will also identify new opportunities for standard development in the related areas.

Topics for this symposium include: 

• Calibration, verification, and traceability of the measuring techniques;
• Emerging sensor technologies for fatigue, fracture, and mechanical testing;
• Novel applications of existing and emerging sensor technologies;
• User experiences 

To participate in the symposium, authors must submit a 250 to 300-word preliminary abstract using the online Abstract Submission Portal no later than May 1, 2026.
