Advanced creep testing techniques and setups Dear colleagues and friends, Small scale creep

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 15th Internatio- Microstructure evolution during creep nal Conference on Creep and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures from 13-17 June 2021 at the Hotel Kaiserhof Victoria at Bad Creep behaviour and deformation mechanisms Kissingen, Germany. Creep under special loading conditions and environments This conference follows the long-standing tradition of the Swansea Damage and fracture conferences, which were initiated by Prof. Brian Wilshire and held in Swansea from 1981 to 1993 on a triennial basis. Later, the Creep Creep – fatigue interactions conferences also took place in London, UK (1995), Irvine, USA (1997), Tsukuba, Japan (1999), again at Swansea, UK (2001), Pittsburgh, USA Modelling and simulation of creep, creep life prediction (2005), Bayreuth, Germany (2008), Kyoto, Japan (2012), Toulouse, France (2015) and Saint Petersburg, Russia (2017). Research on all classes of materials are highly welcome (metals, alloys and intermetallics, ceramics, MMCs, CMCs, natural and The objective of CREEP 2021 is to provide an opportunity for scien- amorphous materials). tists and engineers to come together, share experience and know- ledge in order to discuss the recent progress concer-ning creep mechanisms and modelling and to explore advanced experimental testing methods, materials and applications.
