      abstract = {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.},
