Review: These are the proceedings of the conference jointly organised by the Australian Fracture Group and FEOFS, and held in Adelaide in September 2002. Topics covered include: fracturing and damage of composite materials, ceramics, metals, concretes and rocks at different scales in both monotonic and cyclic loading, deformation and wave propagation in, and fracture of, heterogeneous and layered materials, experimental and theoretical investigation of crack propagation, including the reconstruction of the process zone state as well as integrity and failure of different types of structures ranging from aircraft wings to dams and excavations in rock mass.
