Stress Intensity Factor

As per available reports about 95 journals, 51 Conferences, 43 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Stress Intensity & trauma, and about 2,500,000 articles are being published on the current trends in Stress Intensity Factor. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to stress are being carried out. As reported in Jefferson Kim article, Stress Intensity Factor (K) is used in fracture mechanics to more accurately predict the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack caused by a remote load or residual stresses. When this stress state becomes critical a small crack grows ("extends") and the material fails. The experimental fracture strength of solid materials is 10 to 1000 times below the theoretical strength values, where tiny internal and external surface cracks create higher stresses near these cracks, hence lowering the theoretical value of strength.

The Journal of Traumatic Stress Disorders & Treatment provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of stress management, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International organises Stress Management Summit on July 13-15, 2015 at Philadelphia in USA. The conference aims to accelerate scientific discoveries in the field of stress management. OMICS together with scientific journals & conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information between scientific communities.
