Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection comprises 175 peer-reviewed articles on “Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation”. This large number of papers is a convincing demonstration of the relevance of bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials, produced by severe plastic deformation, to a wide range of researchers and engineers. In fact, this community is growing, and the total number of articles in this edition is larger than that in the 2006 edition. The fact that the authors hail from 27 countries also reflects the truly world-wide activity in this field.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection comprises state-of-the-art papers written by scientists and research groups working in fields encompassing metals and alloys, silicates, polymers and composites.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection comprises 130 selected peer-reviewed papers which address a number of scientific issues underlying the increased global attention paid to mechanical product performance and reliability.
Contributions were received from researchers in 8 different countries. The collection aims to report the latest experimental findings and to promote further theoretical research into mechanical product development and reliability.

Smart Materials are materials that can respond to environmental stimuli by exhibiting particular changes in some of their properties. Depending upon the change in some external condition, a smart materials can change its own characteristics (mechanical, electrical, appearance), structure, composition and/or response. These materials are usually embedded into systems whose inherent properties change favourably in order to meet performance needs.

The aim of this special collection of papers on the theme of “Advanced Welding and Micro Joining/Packaging for the 21st Century” was to review and analyze the state-of-the-art concerning the welding and joining/packaging technologies which are essential to the production of structures ranging from the compact to the ultra-large.

Description: Nanostructured materials, in which the structural features (e.g., grains and/or domains separated by low-angle grain boundaries) are smaller than 100nm in at least one dimension, have attracted worldwide research interest for more than a decade because of their unique properties. For example, the combination of high strength with high ductility has been reported for some nanostructured metals and alloys: this is a rare, if not impossible, combination of mechanical properties for coarse-grained metals and alloys. Among the many techniques available for producing nanostructured materials, severe plastic deformation (SPD) is the most popular and most rapidly developing one.
