Within the last thirty years there is a growing acknowledgement
that prevention of catastrophic failures necessitates engagement of
a large pool of expertise. Herein it is not excessive to seek
advice from disciplines like materials science, structural
engineering, mathematics, physics, reliability engineering and even
economics. Today's engineering goals, independently of size; do not
have the luxury of being
outsideaglobalperspective.Survivaloftheintegratedmarketsand?nancialsystems
require a web of safe transportation, energy production and product
manufacturing. It is perhaps the ?rst decade in engineering history
that multidisciplinary - proaching is not just an idea that needs
to materialise but has matured beyond infancy. We can witness such
transition by examining engineering job descriptions and
postgraduate curricula. The undertaking of organising a conference
to re?ect the above was not easy and de?nitely, not something that
was brought to life without a lot of work and c- st mitment. The 1
Conference of Engineering Against Fracture from its conceptual day
until completion was designed in a way of underlying the need of
bringing all the key players on a common ground that once properly
cultivated can ?ourish. To achieve that the conference themes were
numerous and despite their, in principle notional differences, it
was apparent that the attendees established such common ground
through argumentation. The reader can see this from the variety of
research areas re?ected by the works and keynote lecturers
presented.
