The 13th NOCMAT Conference continued to provide a forum where researchers, governmental and non-governmental agencies could introduce their research results concerning innovations in the field of low-cost energy-saving materials which are renewable and locally available: such as bamboo, soil fibers and cement alternatives. Also covered were technologies which make use of such non-conventional materials as natural fibers and agricultural and industrial residues in a more cost-effective, durable, environment-friendly, energy-efficient and sustainable manner.

Description: The present volumes comprise papers which will provide comprehensive information on the topics of Traditional Building Materials; Advanced Building Materials; Architectural Design, Architectural Art and its Theory; Building Technology and Science; Urban Planning and Design; Landscape Planning and Design; Construction Project Management; Architectural Environment and Equipment Engineering; Ecological Architecture; Engineering Management and Engineering Education; Monitoring and Control of Quality Engineering; Sustainable City and Regional Development. The work’s up-to-date and state-of-the art coverage of the worldwide state of these fields make it an invaluable resource.

Aerospace vehicle applications have always been at the cutting edge of structures and materials research because of the essential requirement for lightweight construction as well as the need to combine safety with performance. New advanced materials, such as composites with toughened thermosetting matrices, thermoplastic composites, and metal-matrix or ceramic-matrix composites, are constantly proposed. In addition to the ongoing challenge of developing new materials, many research issues remain open regarding conventional metallic aero-structures. These include life extension in aging aircraft, and proper methods of vibration control. These 19 peer-reviewed papers gather together the latest knowledge related to the “Behaviour of Material and Composite Structures” title of this volume.

This volume focuses on the development of methods, for predicting the behaviour of materials, so as to be able to design materials having specific properties. This requires a multi-scale material modeling framework that is based upon the fundamental laws of physics and links the electronic modeling hierarchy all the way from the atomistic and mesoscale modeling regimes up to macroscopic material behaviour. It is evident that such a framework cannot be based upon rigid formal parameterizations alone, but must emerge from a detailed understanding of the mechanistic behaviour of materials, a profound knowledge of material properties and metallurgical trends, and must take account of the processing of materials as the basis of dynamic structure/property relationships.

Following the great progress made in Computational Mechanics and Materials, the 2011 International Workshop on Computational Mechanics, Materials and Engineering Applications (CMMEA 2011) aimed at providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art developments in Computational Mechanics and Engineering Applications, Building Materials, Geotechnical & Soil Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering Applications. The emphasis was placed on basic methodologies, scientific developments and engineering applications.

Description: These peer‐reviewed papers were selected from “Materials Science and Engineering Applications”, which provides a forum where researchers, engineers, academics and industrial professionals from all over the world can present their research results and development activities in materials science and engineering. It also provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences face-to-face, establish business or research contacts and find global partners for future collaboration. It also creates an atmosphere in which young talent has the opportunity to mix with professors and captains of industry. The proceedings provide an international medium 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.
