Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials have emerged as a new class of materials having unusual structures and properties. As a result, they have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Bulk NS materials are single or multi-phase polycrystals with a nanoscale grain size and can usually be classified into nanocrystalline (<100nm) and ultrafine grain (<1000nm) materials. This book contains important papers on the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of bulk NS materials. The advanced properties include strength, ductility, strain-hardening, fatigue, dynamic, creep and toughness, etc. These properties are important for the ultimate structural applications of bulk NS materials. The mechanical properties of these materials are determined by their specific deformation mechanisms (such as boundary-dominated deformation) due to the very small grain size in comparison with coarse-grained counterparts. The 20 invited papers is divided between two chapters: I. Advanced Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Materials - II. Deformation Mechanisms of Bulk Nanostructured Materials. This work should be read by all of those wishing to improve mechanical properties without having to consider entirely new alloys.

Description: This volume presents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Ecological Environment and Technology of Concrete, held on August 1st to 4th, 2011 in Beijing, China.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main aim of this symposium was to highlight the relationship between concrete technology and the ecological environment; thus covering a wide range of topics such as the preparation of high-strength/high-performance concrete, durability, raw materials, workability, chemical admixtures, new applications, property characterization, environmental impact of concrete production and behavior of concrete structures. In all, 70 papers from China, Norway and the USA were presented at the conference. These proceedings offer a very up-to-date overview of the field.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
These proceedings comprise the refereed papers presented at the International Conference on Advanced Material Research (ICAMR 2011) held on January 21 - 23, 2011 in Chongqing, China. The main goal of this, and other events, was to provide an international scientific forum for the exchange of new ideas in a number of fields via in-depth discussions with peers from around the world. Both inward research; core areas of advanced materials research and outward research; multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary research and applications were covered; thus providing a thorough overview of the subject.
