The main focus of this book is the rapidly expanding new field of experimental mechanics, as applied to nano and biotechnology, which is enthusiastically responding to the advances in these technologies and to the increasing need for precise measurements of novel materials and biological tissues. For instance, whereas optical techniques had previously been preferred, particularly in the field of bio-engineering, other mature methods are now being exploited in tandem with the growth in micro- and nano-manufacturing.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
An essential requirement for achieving the correct functionality and operation of engineering systems and structures is to understand the fundamental issues which underpin stress distributions and dynamic behaviour. Design software is increasingly being developed in order to integrate a number of analysis tools. The key to the success of this development is the generation of modelling and analysis techniques, together with experimental validation over likely parameter ranges.
