      abstract = {This book presents the latest findings on mechanical and  materials engineering as applied to the design of modern  engineering materials and components. The contributions  cover the classical fields of mechanical, civil and  materials engineering, as well as bioengineering and  advanced materials processing and optimization. The  materials and structures discussed can be categorized into  modern steels, aluminium and titanium alloys,  polymers/composite materials, biological and natural  materials, material hybrids and modern nano-based  materials. Analytical modelling, numerical simulation,  state-of-the-art design tools and advanced experimental  techniques are applied to characterize the materials'  performance and to design and optimize structures in  different fields of engineering applications.},
