Computational Methods and Testing for Engineering Integrity

Assessing the engineering integrity of materials, components, structures and systems is a fundamental requirement of engineering design and analysis. The ubiquity of the computer and the development of sophisticated software and testing facilities, have led to simulation models which can reliably predict behaviour and performance of materials and structures with a high level of confidence. As new materials and simulation models are developed, it becomes even more critical to test for engineering integrity. This book contains the proceedings of the first International Conference on Computational Methods and Testing for Engineering Integrity, held in Kuala Lumpur in March 1996.
