Deadline: The Call for Abstracts is now closed. However, if you are interested in participating, please contact the organizers at [email protected].

Conference topics will include (but not limited to):

• Advances in Measurement Methods:
  • Mechanical Methods: Hole drilling, slitting, contour method, etc.
  • Diffraction methods: electron, x-ray, neutron.
  • Other Physics-based methods: Magnetic, acoustic, other methods.
• Manufacturing Processes:
  • How materials processing (including AM) impacts resultant stresses
• Impact of Residual Stress on Material and Component Properties:
  • impacts of residual stress on strength, distortion, fatigue, corrosion, component performance, failure, etc.
• Advances in Residual Stress Modeling and Simulation:
  • Computational modeling and prediction to calculate stress evolution, part distortion, and life prediction.
• Engineering of Residual Stresses:
  •  Modification of residual stress distribution by thermal or mechanical means including shot peening, heat treatment, and other methods.

Important notes:

• Accepted speakers will be assigned a 20-minute timeslot (15-minute presentation; 5-minute Q&A)
• RSTC will not produce proceedings, so there is no need to submit a manuscript or PowerPoint Presentation for publication. Please bring your PowerPoint presentation with you to the conference for upload before your presentation.
• To maintain the integrity of CRS, please obtain pre-approval to present your work at the conference before submitting your abstract.  All costs associated with your participation will be at your expense (travel, housing, and registration fee).
