Metal-Matrix Composites: Advances in Processing, Characterization, Performance and Analysis

This  collection brings together engineers, scientists, scholars, and  entrepreneurs to present their novel and innovative contributions in the  domain specific to metal-matrix composites and on aspects specific to  processing, characterization, mechanical behavior, measurements, failure  behavior, and kinetics governing microstructural influences on failure  by fracture. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Metals and metal-matrix composites
• Nano-metal based composites
• Intermetallic-based composites

Contributions  in the above topics connect to applications in industry-relevant areas:  automotive; nuclear and clean energy; aerospace; failure analysis;  biomedical and healthcare; and heavy equipment, machinery, and goods.
