Thank you to all for making FFAG4 a success!

See you in FFAG5 held in Canada.

FFAG5 will be held in 2009 as a session (and a joint meeting, if necessary) of ICF12. Please check the slide (PDF file).

Scope of the workshop

The scope of the workshop is to promote further international co-operation among scientists and engineers from different disciplines involved in the study of Flow and Fracture of Advanced Glasses.

The materials and topics of interest include:

• chalcogenide, fluoride, oxide, oxynitride, oxycarbides, bulk metallic glasses, glass fibers, surface-modified glasses, glass-ceramics, hybrids;
• physics, mechanics, chemistry of fracture, fracture surface analysis, fatigue, strength;
• elasticity, anelasticity, hardness, brittleness, creep and viscous flow.
