PREFACE The understanding of damage evolution in engineering materials, systems and structures is currently one of the most important areas of engineering research.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the fourth conference and aims to report upon recent advances in the areas of damage detection, assessment and quantification.
The DAMAS conference is now established as a major forum for discussion and dissemination of recent advances in damage detection, assessment and quantification, following the three previous conferences in Pescara ( 1995), Sheflield ( I 997) and Dublin (1999).
The type of structure studied also varies widely and techniques highlighted here apply in many engineering fields, in particular Mechanical and Civil Engineering.
The various levels of support provided by the SIDANET EPS.RC network, the Institute of Physics Stress and Vibration Group and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers are all gratefully acknowledged.

The Deformation of Discontinuity in the DDA Method Jun LIU 1, a and Zhongkui LI2, b 1 Beijing municipal engineering research institute, Beijing, China 2 Department of hydraulic engineering, Tsinghua university, Beijing, China a liujun01@tsinghua.org.cn, blzk-dhh@tsinghua.edu.cn Keywords: DDA; The deformation of discontinuity; Displacement; Stress.
The actual engineering indicates that the deformation of control discontinuity is often greater than that of block, and can not be neglected; but the deformation of the smaller discontinuities may be neglected.
Introduction The jointed medium like rock masses will be encountered in many engineering problems, where discontinuities are dominant.

The oxidation of pentatitanium trisilicide (Ti5Si3) powder at high temperature was investigated in order to determine the suitability of this ceramic material for advanced application in an oxidation atmosphere at high temperature.
Titanium silicide has been attracted for years as an engineering ceramics due to its high hardness, high melting point, and good chemical stability.
In this study, the isothermal high temperature oxidation of commercial Ti5Si3 powder is investigated in order to determine the suitability of this ceramic material for advanced application at high temperature.

The first problem is selection of the topic, such as teachers often give virtual design topics which are detached from engineering for students to choose.
Then they will transform from students to the one who is engaged in engineering technology or engineering management and advance into the production practice.
Then the teacher timely modify teaching content according to the latest policy and technical guidelines This not only maintains advanced and timeliness of the curriculum content, but also can take the requirements of qualification test and the test content into consideration.

Preface The 2nd international conference on Structural and Physical Aspects of Civil Engineering (SPACE-2013) was held in High Tatras, in November 27 - 29, 2013.
The conference was organised by Department of Structural Mechanics, Institute of Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering Faculty, Technical University of Košice, Slovakia in cooperation with Slovak Society of Mechanics, Slovak Academy of Science, Bratislava.
The main objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and engineers devoting their work to structural and physical problems in different areas of engineering applications on a common platform.
The conference objectives were the following: Static and dynamic analysis of structures Seismic and stability problems of structures Experimental analysis and diagnostics of structures Resistance, durability and reliability of structures Optimization of structures Numerical methods, simulations and mathematical applications Failure, damage and reconstructions of structures We strongly believe that SPACE-2013 will have a significant impact on the development of contemporary analytical, numerical and experimental methods in structural and physical problems, and will also create an opportunity for opening a forum for discussion and collaboration amongst the participants.
This special Issue of the Advanced Material Research Journal contains the selected papers presented in the topic of the conference on Structural and Physical Aspects of Civil Engineering.
