HISTORY OF CONGRESS

The International Fatigue Congress, IFC, was founded in 1981 in Stockholm. Today, it is the premier international body for promoting world wide co-operation amongst scientists and engineers concerned with the mechanics and mechanisms of fatigue.

The International Fatigue Congress series has been organized triennially under the auspices of IFC. Over the years, this series has made considerable progress in providing an international forum to highlight individual and national accomplishments in the whole field of fatigue.
