This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the latest advances and applications in the fields of composites, micro-/nano-materials, steel and iron, ceramics, metal-alloy materials, polymer materials, optical/electronic/magnetic materials, materials physics and chemistry, structural materials and functional materials.

Description: These papers were presented at the Third International Workshop on the Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading - Protect2011 - held in Lugano (Switzerland) from August 30th to September 1st, 2011. This event sprang from the cross-border cooperation between two universities, SUPSI and Politecnico di Milano, which have long been engaged in research in these particular areas. Protect2011 is a clear sign that such collaboration offers the opportunity for mutual growth, to the benefit of all.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
In common with previous Protect workshops, this book contains over 100 peer-reviewed papers, originating from about 30 countries on 5 continents, that collectively provide an excellent snapshot of the state-of-the-art of this field and highlight some remarkable modern developments.
