This book describes the main approaches for production and synthesis of nanostructured metals and alloys, taking into account the fatigue behavior of materials

The mechanics of fracture and fatigue have produced a huge body of research work in relation to applications to metal materials and structures. However, a varie

This book describes the main approaches for production and synthesis of nanostructured metals and alloys, taking into account the fatigue behavior of materials

The behavior of nanostructured materials/small-volumestructures and biologi-cal/bio-implantable materials, so-called "nano"and "bio" materials, is currently muc

The 16th European Conference of Fracture (ECF16) was held in Greece, July, 2006. It focused on all aspects of structural integrity with the objective of improvi
