Development and Design With Advanced Materials: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Analytical and Testing Methodologies for Desig

With advanced materials being in the midst of a widely acknowledged revolution, there is relentless pressure on scientists and engineers to be on the cutting edge of emerging theories and design methodologies. This conference was organized so that experts from many different countries would have an opportunity to interact and exchange ideas. Thirty technical papers are presented in this volume. Topics covered include the behaviour of composites, characterization of mechanical properties and damage, structural component repair, finite element method and biomaterials. In addition to providing an overall view of the current status in advanced material theories and technologies, the application-specific character of materials is also emphasized.Sih, G.
