The field of Residual Stresses is a very large one and is also highly interdisciplinary in nature with regard both to its applications and to its scientific and technological fundamentals. The highly successful aim of this Conference (ECRS6) was to bring together researchers and practicing engineers, academics and students from all of the European Community members; as well as guests from overseas.

Description: Mechanical spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that is very well suited for studying the dynamics of singularities such as structural defects in solids. It has been successfully applied in solid state physics and materials science for more than fifty years, and the present textbook aims at summarising the state-of-the-art in this field by presenting recent results obtained in Western European laboratories. The contents are divided into nine chapters. Introduction to mechanical spectroscopy (Ch.1) is based on a complete description of the elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic behaviours of solids. The anelastic response is analysed from three different viewpoints: phenomenology, rheology and thermodynamics.

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.

There is now a tremendous worldwide interest in functional biomaterials. The present book covers the major aspects of the field. It is divided into four parts. The first section (A) covers various aspects of joint replacement. Section B presents the topic of dental ceramics, while Section C describes the microstructural aspects of biomaterials. Finally, some of the recent innovations in biomechanics are discussed (Section D), together with some features of bioengineering.

The light metals (aluminum, magnesium and titanium) are important for many applications, but are most critical for transportation where weight savings results in a plethora of benefits including reduced fuel consumption, higher speed and longer range, improved performance/handleability, etc. This applies whether we are dealing with automobiles, airplanes, space vehicles, bicycles or even submarines – witness the titanium alpha class submarine in “Hunt for Red October”.

Materials, as utilized, experience the effect of residual, internal stresses, as these are the outcome of the material synthesis and/or engineering, and/or application in practice. Understanding and control of residual stresses is a prerequisite for successful application of materials in wide ranging areas as corresponding to, e.g., the microelectronic industry (thin films) and the automotive industry (crankshafts).

This 3-volume set presents the proceedings of the seventh International Conferences on Aluminum Alloys: Their Physical and Mechanical Properties. The papers are concerned with the current views of the world’s aluminum experts on the basic understanding and application of aluminum alloys. The proceedings cover a wide range of related topics and present the views from both academia and industry.
Topics include casting and solidification processing; ingot and billet processing; recovery, recrystallization and texture development; phase transformations; joining; mechanical properties; physical properties; and alloy and product development. Papers also address experimentation and modeling of the physical and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. A broad range of material applications, including transportation, packaging and building and construction are considered.
