As you probably know, the 25th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM2020) will be held in Milano, Italy, August 23-28, 2020. 

As usual, the Congress Committee has chosen a selection of topics, covering the broad field of Mechanics, to be the subjects of Thematic Sessions.

We have been asked to co-chair the Thematic Session SM05 on Fracture Mechanics, and it is thus our pleasant duty to invite you to submit a paper.Your submission, prepared according to the instructions given on the website https://www.ictam2020.org/ should reach the Congress Office no later than 10 January, 2020. 

Yours sincerely,
