The conference of International Institute of Welding (IIW) was held on 7th and 8th of March in TU Delft which is the very famous university for study of orthotropic steel deck used for bridge in civil engineering.
This congress mainly deals with fatigue problems from welded points on steel and aluminum structures.
Because my laboratory in Japan has been studying fatigue problems and fracture mechanics on steel bridge, my laboratory has joined in the congress for a long time. And my boss in Japan and Prof. Haagensen from Norway got to know each other through the congress.
