Materials Structure & Micromechanics of Fracture V
The main goal of these proceedings was to demonstrate the use of a variety of multi-scale approaches, ranging from the atomistic to the macroscopic level, and in this it succeeds admirably. -
Aluminium Alloys 2006
The world production of primary and recycled aluminum continues to increase and, over the past twenty years, has risen from ~15 Mt/y in 1985 to ~32 Mt/y in 2005. The main consumers are transportation, beverage and other packaging, and building construction. The global primary aluminum production has been growing by about 2-3% per year. However, growth rates over the last decade have been much higher. In particular, during the past five years, China has played a critical role in aluminum production and has gone through a dramatic period of growth. -
Residual Stresses VII, ICRS7
The field of Residual Stresses is surprisingly large, and also highly interdisciplinary in nature, both with regard to its applications and to its scientific and technological fundamentals. -
Materials Structure & Micromechanics of Fracture
This volume contains papers selected from the more than 120 contributions presented during the 4th international conference on “Materials Structure & Micromechanics of Fracture (MSMF-4)”, in Brno, Czech Republic, June 23-25, 2004. -
Recrystallization and Grain Growth
Recrystallization and grain growth, together with phase transformations such as precipitation, are the fundamental processes of microstructural evolution which take place during the thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. They are of major scientific interest and are of great importance in a wide range of industrial applications. -
Superplasticity in Advanced Materials - ICSAM 2003
Superplastic forming (SPF) has come a long way from its relatively recent history of being of interest only to the aerospace and aeronautical industries, and has made rapid inroads into applications in the automotive, rail, architectural, sports, dental and entertainment sectors.

Modern Practice in Stress and Vibration Analysis
The trend towards the integration of modeling, analysis and design tools, which began in the 1990s, is now well underway, and it is becoming increasingly evident that formerly disparate engineering functions, such as stress analysis, fracture mechanics, elasticity and vibration analysis, will continue to move closer together, as seamlessly integrated computational design tools evolve. The series of Modern Practice in Stress and Vibration Analysis conferences has always reflected this alliance, with its tradition of encouraging specialist contributions to the development and enhanced application of powerful numerical methods; in conjunction with seminal papers on new techniques in experimental mechanics. -
Magnesium Alloys 2003
Magnesium alloys are among the most promising ecomaterials for various high-tech applications in the 21st Century. This 2-volume set comprises the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Platform Science and Technology for Advanced Magnesium Alloys (PSTAM 2003). The papers cover a wide spread of perspectives on the academic fundamentals, and industrial applications, of magnesium alloys.
