The performance of inorganic materials is critical in structural design and engineering applications. Testing techniques and evaluation methods are are therefore keys to ensuring the quality and reliability of inorganic materials and components. The main theme of this special collection is materials properties and testing techniques, and covers most aspects of testing techniques as applied to the mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glass and concrete. The work therefore offers an insight into cutting-edge developments in testing techniques in the area of inorganic materials.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.
