The present volume comprises the most significant contributions made to the 8th European Conference on Residual Stresses (ECRS8), held in Riva del Garda (Trento, Italy) on June 26-28, 2010. The main topics covered were: experimental methods (including neutron and synchrotron radiation residual stress analysis), strain mapping, in situ analysis, micro-strain studies, texture-stress relationships, residual stress modelling and computation, generation of residual stresses by manufacturing and processing of materials, residual stresses in thin films, coatings and in multiphase materials, residual stresses and phase transformations, grain interaction mechanisms and elasto-plastic behaviour of materials, multiscale modelling and scale-bridging aspects. This work provides an up-to-the-minute guide to this important subject.
The main emphasis of this special volume is placed on new developments in low-dimensional magnetism, magnetic semiconductors and oxides, transport phenomena and spintronics, magnetophotonics, HF magnetic properties and metamaterials, shape memory alloys and magnetocaloric effects, magnetic properties of strongly correlated systems and superconductivity, medicine and geophysics, and applications. Trends in magnetism are also discussed.
The 20th century was a period during which many new sciences and engineering techniques appeared and evolved, and were applied to industrial applications. Towards the end of that century, however, it was recognized that - in many cases - the industrial technologies that underpin current-day society suffered from wider sociogical deficiencies. The usual engineering approaches began to face many difficulties which arose from the high habitual levels of consumption of energy and resources.. Energy sources, and supplies of various resources, have already begun to diminish in the 21st century. These limitations on energy and resources require science and technology to adapt quickly to this new regimen.
