Materials science is an interdisciplinary field which involves the study of the properties of matter and the exploitation of those properties in various areas of science and engineering. It investigates the relationship between the structure of a material at the atomic or molecular scale and its resultant macroscopic properties. This three-volume set provided an international forum for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials, as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.

The objective of this special collection was to provide an excellent platform for updating and discussing the latest advances in precision engineering-related fields by researchers and engineers from research laboratories, academia and industry all over the world. The volume covers a wide gamut of topics in precision engineering-related fields, ranging over precision machining, advanced measurement techniques and green and sustainable manufacturing. This work will provide a stimulus and inspiration for future studies and advancement in precision engineering and manufacturing technologies.

Description: The increased use of advanced materials in high efficiency structures – electronic devices, medical equipment, aircraft and vehicles – requires improved reliability, resistance to breakdown and improved failure and life-span forecasting for a wide range of loading conditions. The development of materials having advanced structural properties is becoming a key factor in industrial and technological progress.

Description: The 2010 Annual British Society for Strain Measurement Conference is the seventh in the series on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, and the fifth time that the papers have been presented as a volume in the Applied Mechanics and Materials series.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The 61 papers making up this volume reflect strikingly the diverse nature of experimental mechanics. The fourteen sessions address various disciplines: e.g. aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering and state-of-the-art technologies such as biomechanics, novel sensors, and composite and cellular materials. The papers were contributed by workers in both academia and industry; with half of the contributions coming from outside of the UK: thus reflecting the international flavour of this event. This volume will be essential reading for all of those interested in the subject.
