The volume presents the papers presented at the International Symposium on Metal Matrix Composites (ISMMC) held in Cairo in 1992. All papers have been reviewed and edited.

• Electroluminescence (EL): Light is generated in response to an applied electric field on a certain material.
Recently, Camara et al. [34] of the University of California, Los Angeles, California, USA, have reported that peeling of common adhesive tape in a moderate vacuum produces radio waves and visible light emission along with nanosecond, 100-mW X-ray pulses that are correlated with stick–slip peeling events.

Historically, Zavarise et al. [6] introduced for the first time the idea to associate an equivalent contact area to the nodes of the slave surface in a thermomechanical two-dimensional contact finite element formulation due to the presence of complex constitutive models for the thermal contact resistance.
