For more than half a century, Darmstadt has been a center of essential expertise in structural durability. The institutions involved in both research and design, cover areas ranging from material science and mechanics of materials, to application in mechanical and civil engineering. Test and measurement equipment, computational methods and design philosophies have been developed. To illustrate the continuity of activities in this field several institutes and companies have grouped together to initiate the „Symposium on Structural Durability“ in Darmstadt. The objective of the 'Symposium on Structural Durability in Darmstadt' (SoSDiD) is to present the current 'state of the art' to the national and international fatigue community. Contributions have been gathered from German, and international experts and Darmstadt research work, in structural durability. The symposium is intended to supply a lively forum for discussing basic questions and actual trends, bringing together scientists and engineers working in this field. The sessions are dealing with: welded structures, mechanical engineering structures, material science related aspects of structural durability.
