Advanced Structural Materials: Volume 1243

Advanced Structural Materials: Volume 1243 Synopsis

This book is a compilation of papers presented at Symposium 5, Advanced Structural Materials, held at the XVIII International Materials Research Congress 2009 in Cancun, Mexico. The symposium was co-organized by the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (MRS-Mexico) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). The book is devoted to fundamental and technological applications of structural materials, and features scientists from various backgrounds with a common interest in the development and use of structural materials.

In particular, the presentations offer overview and recent investigations related to advanced structural metallic, ceramic and composite materials. Topics include:

• innovative processing
• phase transformations
• mechanical properties
• oxidation resistance
• modeling
• and the relationship between processing, microstructure and mechanical behavior. Papers on industrial application and metrology are also included
