Creation of High-Strength Structures and Joints by Setting up Local Material Properties

Edited by: Prof. Heinz Palkowski and Kai Michael Rudolph

Online since: August 2007

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The demands now being made on metallic structures are increasingly complex, since the strains and application loading-profiles which occur are locally limited and inhomogeneous. Therefore, high-strength structures having optimised material properties have to be developed.
