Material Strength and Applied Mechanics

Keeping abreast of the latest developments in materials technology and techniques is vital to a wide range of sectors such as aerospace, the automotive industry, and mechanical and civil engineering. A knowledge and understanding of the latest research is crucial to facilitate the adoption of appropriate solutions in tackling those challenges that will inevitably be encountered. This book presents the proceedings of MSAM 2023, the 6th International Conference on Material Strength and Applied Mechanics, held as a hybrid event from 4-7 July 2023 in Macau, China. This annual conference provides a platform for all those engaged in basic or applied research, technology development, application, and innovation in material strength and applied mechanics to exchange information and ideas about the latest research in the field, and is attended by scientists and experts from academia and industry from around the world. The book contains 17 papers accepted from 50 submissions received for presentation at the conference. These were selected following a rigorous peer-review process, in which each paper was assessed by two or three reviewers on the basis of criteria including scope, application, research merit, and experimental techniques. Topics covered include applied mechanics, intelligent manufacturing technology, mechanical engineering, optimal design of structures, advanced materials sciences, computational methods and modeling, simulation processes, and industrial applications. The book offers an overview of the latest advancements in material strength and applied mechanics, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
