Abstract: Influence of residual stresses on the fatigue propagation of cracks represents a major concern for important components subject to complex loading. The purpose of present research is to numerically predict the lifetime of axles used for railway tank wagons in various theoretical conditions. The developed procedure is based on both calculating residual thermal stresses by mean of finite element method, and the number of cycles to fracture, using the closed form solution of NASGRO equation for fatigue. Calculations of fatigue resistance are based on fatigue crack development starting from an initial crack detectable by means of non-destructive testing. The numerical prediction of number of cycles (or kilometers) to fracture for axles belonging to railway tank wagons has proved the deep negative impact of residual thermal stresses introduced by poorly controlled heat treatments or other processing procedures.

A fake conference organization claims relation and sponsorship from EUROPMENT

We received an email from dr.leoboucard@gmail.com from an unknown conference organization (based in Canada or India) that claims collaboration with EUROPMENT.

The Spam message of this fake and bogus organization says that extended version of the best papers in this bogus conference will be published in EUROPMENT Journals and EUROPMENT Books.

EUROPMENT does not have any relation with these Fake Conferences in Canada and India.

This bogus organization uses the name and logo of EUROPMENT without any permission. Its advertizing practices are predatory and mock and bogus and fake.

Some papers published in this fake conferences' organization have lifted from EUROPMENT (www.europment.org) without permission. These papers are republished in this site without the permission of EUROPMENT and without the permission of their authors. EUROPMENT has already sent emails to these authors, these victims of the other fake EUROPMENT web site.

At the moment, there is no any EUROPMENT conference in Canada nor in India. So, if you receive any Call For Papers for a EUROPMENT Conference in Canada or India, forward this email (with the headers) to us: info@europment.org, report it to your university and inform us about any other plagiarizing activity.

The owner of the bogus and fake misguiding and misleading web site is some Leo Bouchard
and his email is dr.leoboucard@gmail.com

Please, send emails and inform your colleagues that Leo Bouchard (dr.leoboucard@gmail.com) has no connection and has no relation with EUROPMENT.
EUROPMENT does not recognize the conferences of Leo Bouchard as genuine academic conferences rather than a scam. They are fake, bogus conferences with absolutely no relation with EUROPMENT. EUROPMENT is a non-profit organization without any relation with Leo Bouchard (dr.leoboucard@gmail.com) fake, bogus, predatory, scam, mock, sham activities and fake, bogus, predatory, scam, mock, sham conferences.

For 2014, 2015 etc, the only genuine and real EUROPMENT conferences are the conferences that EUROPMENT presents in our official web site: www.europment.org

So, for 2014 and 2015, we do not sponsor, we do not support, we do not support technically any other conference. Only the conferences of www.europment.org belong to us. Any other conference outside the domain www.europment.org that claims or pretend relations wtih EUROPMENT is fake and bogus. We do not know also if the name Leo Bouchard is real or a fake internet figure, a fake internet persona.

So, be careful and be aware of Leo Bouchard fake EUROPMENT activites. The real EUROPMENT www.europment.org has never authorized Leo Bouchard to use our name (EUROPMENT) and has links in his site back to us: www.europment.org

If somebody knows who is Leo Bouchard or thinks who is behind Leo Bouchard, let send and email to me info@europment.org
