Description
In an age of dwindling resources, knowledge of the behavior of materials takes on an even more important role than was traditionally the case. Not only must a material perform its basic function, but it must do so while satisfying constraints given by ecology, economy, safety and durability. Alongside the science of traditional materials, new areas are emerging. At the very small scale, materials are being engineered down to their very microstructure, sometimes even their molecular structure. These microengineered materials promise exceptional performance, however it becomes increasingly difficult to characterize their structure and behavior with traditional methods. With papers presented at the third International Conference on Computational Methods and Experiments in Materials Characterisation, this book provides a unique insight into research focusing on the materials and their microstructures, experimental characterization techniques and on computational methods.
