Until recently, engineering materials could be characterised successfully using relatively simple testing procedures. As materials technology advances, interest

There is a great deal of interest in extending nondestructive technologies beyond the location and identification of cracks and voids. Specifically there is gro

Over much of the last three decades, the evolution of techniques for characterizing composite materials has struggled to keep up with the advances of composite

The unique properties of elastomeric materials offer numerous advantages in many engineering applications. Elastomeric units are used as couplings or mountings

This book covers state-of-the-art techniques commonly used in modern materials characterization. Two important aspects of characterization, materials structures
