The papers contained in this volume reflect the diverse nature of the field of Experimental Mechanics. They cover topics ranging from small-scale experimentation to the assessment of full-scale structures. Novel sensing and sensor technology is a major feature, as is the analysis of composite materials. The contributions come from both academia and industry, with over half of the them originating from outside the UK; thus mirroring the international flavour of the event.

The present book presents an in-depth report on probabilistic methods used to study fatigue and fracture of engineering materials. It is divided into three sections: fatigue; reliability modeling; and statistical methods. The book will serve as a useful new reference on probabilistic methods in fatigue and fracture. It should be of interest to researchers and engineers in industry and academia.
