The Eighth International Conference on Fundamentals of Fracture (ICFF VIII) will be held 3-7 January 2008 in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, and in Guangzhou, China. ICFF VIII will provide an international forum for presentation and discussion of the latest scientific and technological development in fundamentals of fracture. The general theme of ICFF VIII is to cover all aspects of fracture at a fundamental level, including contributions from those working in the disciplines of Continuum Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Bioscience, Metallurgy, Ceramics, Polymer Science, etc. The research areas are of vital interest to the United States. Participation of women and minority students will be particularly encouraged. Academic and research institutions all over the world are studying various fundamentals issues of fracture. With the rapid development of life-science and nanotechnology, research on the failure behaviors of biomaterials, nanomaterials and nanostructures is of both academic and practical significance. ICFF VIII will be a timely forum for reviewing the progress, exchanging ideas among researchers, and providing industry with information concerning fundamentals of fracture. ICFF VIII will function as a vehicle for US scientists and educators to establish, promote and strengthen collaborations in the area of fundamentals of fracture with their Asia counterparts. This will also offer young researchers a broad perspective of the scholarly activity in their area, expose them to the diversity of perceptions and interests in the global research community and allow them to make personal contact with people sharing their research interests all over the world.

第八届国际断裂基础会议（ICFF VIII）将于2008年1月3-7日在香港科技大学和中国广州举行。 ICFF VIII 将提供一个国际论坛，展示和讨论断裂基础方面的最新科学技术发展。 ICFF VIII 的总主题是从基础层面涵盖断裂的各个方面，包括连续介质力学、物理、化学、生物科学、冶金、陶瓷、高分子科学等学科领域工作人员的贡献。这些研究领域对美国至关重要。将特别鼓励女性和少数民族学生的参与。世界各地的学术和研究机构正在研究断裂的各种基本问题。随着生命科学和纳米技术的快速发展，生物材料、纳米材料和纳米结构的失效行为研究具有重要的学术和现实意义。 ICFF VIII 将成为一个及时的论坛，用于回顾进展、研究人员交流想法以及为业界提供有关断裂基本原理的信息。 ICFF VIII 将作为美国科学家和教育工作者与亚洲同行建立、促进和加强骨折基础领域合作的工具。这也将为年轻研究人员提供其领域学术活动的广阔视野，让他们接触全球研究界的多样性观点和兴趣，并让他们能够与世界各地有共同研究兴趣的人们进行个人接触。
