This special volume comprises 287 expertly refereed papers. The main theme covered is Materials and Manufacturing Technology; the main goal being to provide an international scientific forum for the exchange of new ideas in a number of fields, and to facilitate in-depth interaction via discussions with peers from around the world. Core areas of Materials and Manufacturing Technology, and multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and practical aspects are covered, making this essential reading for anyone interested in these topics.

Description: This special collection presents the fruits of a forum where researchers were able to present the most advanced and novel scientific results and technological developments in the field of eco-materials processing and design. The aim was to overview the current status and to foresee future likely trends in the field of eco-materials processing and design of energy- and environment-related materials. Many fruitful and exciting research achievements are presented here; not only in conventional areas, but also in sustainable energy sources such as solar cells and fuel cells, photochemistry, porous materials, biomass, and bio-inspired technologies for developing microstructures offering superior surface and bulk properties. Altogether, this work presents a unique overview of the topic.

Description: The 2010 Annual British Society for Strain Measurement Conference is the seventh in the series on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, and the fifth time that the papers have been presented as a volume in the Applied Mechanics and Materials series.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The 61 papers making up this volume reflect strikingly the diverse nature of experimental mechanics. The fourteen sessions address various disciplines: e.g. aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering and state-of-the-art technologies such as biomechanics, novel sensors, and composite and cellular materials. The papers were contributed by workers in both academia and industry; with half of the contributions coming from outside of the UK: thus reflecting the international flavour of this event. This volume will be essential reading for all of those interested in the subject.
