Publisher's Synopsis
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).Materials science is an interdisciplinary field which involves the study of the properties of matter and the exploitation of those properties in various areas of science and engineering. It investigates the relationship between the structure of a material at the atomic or molecular scale and its resultant macroscopic properties. This three-volume set provided an international forum for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials, as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.
