Common engineering materials are reaching their limits in many applications, and new developments are required to meet the increasing demands on engineering materials. The performance of materials can be improved by combining different materials to achieve better properties than with a single constituent, or by shaping the material or constituents into a specific structure. The interaction between material and structure can occur at different length scales, such as the micro, meso, or macro scale, and offers potential applications in very different fields.
This book is dedicated to our colleague, and for many of us a friend and a comrade Alexander Belyaev. He turns 70 on August 13, 2023. In this regard, we can state that he has done a lot already. He is a universal scientist in the field of mechanics, who is able to describe operation of any mechanism and structure in the form of a mathematical model. That is, almost a relationship describing a certain approximation of the nature. He is one of the founders of mechatronics, the author of the theory of high-frequency vibrations of structures, of models of hydrogen brittleness and one of the creators of the method of acoustic damage. This book reflects not only our achievements related to the research fields of our jubilee, but also the unique breadth of the spectrum of interests and studies conducted by Alexander Belyaev and his scientific results.
