The purpose of the First International Conference on STRUCTURAL
MECHANICS IN REACTOR TECHNOLOGY was to bring together
engineers and scientists who are actively engaged in solving structural
mechanics problems in the field of reactor technology and fundamentalists
in the general field of engineering mechanics to present and discuss
applied and fundamental papers on structural mechanics problems
in reactor technology.
The meeting of more than 800 reactor technologists and engineering
mechanicians from 33 countries all over the world has brought together
a wealth of information and inspiration for the benefit of both reactor
technology and structural mechanics science.
All contributed original papers together with the discussions, as well
as the summaries of the invited lectures (designated by *), are contained
in the present Proceedings published by the Commission of the European
Communities. A survey of the topical grouping of the Proceedings
is given on the next pages. The detailed overall list of contents of the
Proceedings is given in Volume 1.
The 70 invited lectures have been published in special conference
issues of the journal NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, North-
Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam. The arrangement of contents
of these issues (Vol. 18, No. 1, 2, 3; Vol. 19, No. 1, 2; Vol. 20, No. 1, 2;
(1972)) is given in Volume 1 of the present Proceedings.
