Overview

This volume covers a wide range of subjects in experimental mechanics including optical methods of stress analysis (photoelasticity, moire, and so forth), composite materials, sandwich construction, fracture mechanics, fatigue and damage, non-destructive evaluation, dynamic problems, foam, materials, fibre optic sensors, speckle metrology, digital image processing, nanotechnology, neutron diffraction and synchrotron radiation methods. It contains 71 papers presented at the symposium on ""Recent Advances in Experimental Mechanics"", which was organized in honour of Professor I.M. Daniel at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, on June 23-28, 2002. The book presents a thorough review of problems in experimental mechanics.
