Various research topics fall under the rubric of Structure: e.g. material damage leading to crack growth and/or fatigue of structures under dynamic loading or impact, durability and reliability of structures, numerical simulation and experimental work involving large deformations and impact associated with various experimental techniques. With regard to experimental studies, many non-destructive tests have been developed during recent years in order to deliver more accurate data. Therefore, papers dealing with the processing, characterization and physical properties determination of materials and structures fall under this heading. Finally, it also covers aspects of computer software, numerical models and advanced simulation algorithms. Specific applications of modeling and simulation in science and engineering, together with the relevant applied mathematical techniques, are also covered.

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.
