Announcing the fourth in a series of international conferences focusing on the latest very high cycle fatigue research

To be held on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, August 19-22, 2007.

This conference is being organized and sponsored by TMS, and hosted by the University of Michigan.

The first international conference focusing on the fatigue of structural materials in the long life regime was organized by Professor C. Bathias and held as “Fatigue Life in the Gigacycle Regime” on June 29-July 1, 1998 in Paris.

The second conference in this series was organized by professors S.E. Stanzl-Tschegg and H. Mayer and held as “Fatigue in the Very High Cycle Regime” on July 2-4, 2001 in Vienna.

At that time, it was agreed that the conference would be held every three years under the name “Very High Cycle Fatigue.”
