Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The collection of peer reviewed papers covers all aspects of mechanics and materials: theoretical, experimental, and computational. Specific topics of interest include: mechanics of materials, rock and soil mechanics, fluid and heat mechanics, machine parts and mechanisms, composites, micro/nano materials, steel and alloys, and building materials and other related topics.

Description: The papers in this volume were subjected to peer and expert reviews, and cover the subjects of composites, micro-/nano-materials, iron and steel, ceramics, metallic alloy materials, biomaterials, high-performance elastomers and polymers, materials physics, materials chemistry, optical/electronic/magnetic materials and other related topics. The work offers valuable up-to-date coverage of the topics.

Description: This special volume brings together the latest advances in, and applications of, iron and steel, micro/nano materials, metal alloy materials, composites, earthquake-resistant structures, materials and design, tooling testing and evaluation of materials, waste engineering and management, etc. It will not only provide readers with a broad overview of the latest advances, but also constitute a handbook for use by researchers in this field.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection covers the latest theoretical, computational and experimental research on fracture and damage mechanics, as well as on structural integrity and durability.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main theme of this special volume is that of intelligent and smart materials and their application. One particular aim is to encourage the ‘cross-fertilisation’ of these materials with nanomaterials.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection comprises 71 peer-reviewed papers which summarise the most recent developments in the fields of advanced materials research and structural integrity.

Description: Manufacturing industry is becoming ever more time-conscious with regard to the global economy, and the need for rapid prototyping and small production batches is increasing. These trends have placed a premium on the use of new and advanced technologies for quickly turning raw materials into usable goods; with no time being required for tooling. The need for advanced processing technologies is particularly evident when machining advanced materials, such as ceramics, composites and thermo-sensitive materials that have wide application but are considered to be "difficult-to-machine" using conventional machining technologies such as turning and milling. Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) machining has been found to be one of the advanced technologies that meet these processing requirements; due to its distinct advantages over other machining technologies.

Description: Advanced Ceramics are often exposed to very aggressive operating conditions. The improvement of such materials, and innovations in their production and processing methods are the driving forces behind the development of many industrial processes.

Description: This latest annual look back at the subject includes review papers on some applications of mechanical spectroscopy and magnetic relaxation to the monitoring of diffusion, on the effect of positron diffusion upon their annihilation, on the wind force in electromigration, on the creep of nanocrystalline metals (as related to grain-boundary diffusion) and on self-interstitial atom behaviour at high temperatures in dense metals.

Description: Membranes are playing a central role in a great variety of technological processes. Due to their physical and chemical properties the new classes of inorganic and organic polymer membranes play an ever increasing role in many applications.
