Advanced Non-classical Materials With Complex Behavior : Modeling and Applications

This volume highlights the latest developments and trends in advanced non-classical materials and structures. It presents the developments of advanced materials and respective tools to characterize and predict the material properties and behavior. It also includes original, theoretical, and important experimental results that use non-routine methodologies often unfamiliar to the usual readers. The chapters on novel applications of more familiar experimental techniques and analyses of composite problems underline the need for new experimental approaches.
