This book offers a snapshot of recent developments in improving the
properties and performance of engineering materials and structures. It
discusses modeling properties related to classical mechanical,
thermal, electrical and optical fields as well as those related to
surface-specific quantities (e.g. roughness, wear and modifications
due to surface coatings). The material types presented range from
classical metals and synthetic materials to composites.
Competitiveness due to cost efficiency (e.g. lighter structures and
the corresponding fuel savings for transportation systems) and
sustainability (e.g. recyclability or reusability) are the driving
factors for engineering developments. The outcomes of these efforts
are difficult to be accurately monitored due to the ongoing evaluation
cycles.
