WELCOME

Welcome to 13th International Conference on Fracture Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2025), which will be held physically (NH Gent Belfort) and online (conference website) on 29-31 July 2025.

Welcome to the website for the thirteenth international conference on Fracture, Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2025), which will be held in the city of Ghent, Belgium. The overall objective of the conference is to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry in fields related to Fracture Mechanics, Fatigue of Materials, Tribology and Wear of Materials. The conference covers industrial engineering applications of the above topics including theoretical and analytical methods, numerical simulations and experimental techniques. One of the aims of conference is to promote cooperation between international scientists and engineers from a large number of disciplines, who are involved in research related to Fracture, Fatigue and Wear.
