Mechanical Behavior of Materials X (Key Engineering Materials)

The objective of this collection was to gather together the latest information on the mechanical behavior of materials. The volumes cover the progress made in all aspects of the mechanical behavior of materials, seen from both the macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints.Taking 685 abstracts, submitted from 31 countries, 482 papers from 28 countries were then selected and subjected to a strict peer-review process. The range of materials of interest, covered by these carefully-selected papers, spans both industrial materials, e.g., metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites, and the more advanced materials currently under development.The collection will be of interest to users, producers and researchers, whether engineers or scientists, who have a common interest in any aspect of materials behavior.
