Welcome Message By Conference Executive President

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the FEOFS 2010
Organising Committee members and
The Malaysian Association of Computational Mechanics,
it is our great pleasure in extending a warm invitation to you to participate in the 8th International Conference on Fracture & Strength of Solids 2010 (FEOFS 2010) scheduled to be held in Malaysia from 7^th to 9^th June 2010, at the Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia is honoured to host the FEOFS 2010 Conference – which has always been an exceptional avenue for researchers and academicians from the Asia Pacific region and all over the world - to meet and share their latest research findings and development. This 8^th FEOFS 2010 conference has been specifically structured to promote multi-disciplinary interaction among specialists in targeted areas. You will discover an intense intellectual exchange in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

This event will present an array of outstanding presenters who have agreed to share their views and experiences on recent development, particularly in the area of fracture and strength of solids with their fellow colleagues.

Aside from the opportunities afforded by the conference’s working sessions and streams, you will also have the chance to experience a myriad of Malaysian tourist and cultural attractions that are exceptional and exotic. From classic sights to natural wonders as diverse as forested mountains and idyllic beaches and islands, from delicious culinary discoveries to fabulous shopping bargains, there is plenty that will leave you with fond memories of Malaysia and its warm and welcoming people.

On behalf of the Organising Committee members, we welcome you to the 8th International Conference on Fracture & Strength of Solids 2010. We look forward to seeing you in June 2010 and we assure you a fruitful conference and a wonderful time in Malaysia.

With best wishes,

FEOFS 2010 Conference Executive President
