The mechanical properties of a material are those that involve reaction to an applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine their range of usefulness and govern their expected service life. Mechanical properties are also used to help to classify and identify materials. The most common properties which are considered are strength, ductility, hardness, impact resistance and fracture toughness. This special collection of peer-reviewed papers discusses the most interesting and up-to-date topics related to the subject and will provide a wealth of ideas for those working in the field.

Description: These papers, subjected to peer-review by expert referees, describe the latest advances in, and applications of, measurement control technologies and intelligent systems, transmission and control of fluids, embedded systems, NEMS/MEMS technology and equipment, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes, petroleum machinery and engineering and other related topics.
