Preface
In the last two decades, Mechanics of Materials as a discipline has experienced a type of revival. The main reason for this has been a continuing introduction of new materials (or even their classes) with extraordinary microstructures, properties and performance. Carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, bulk metallic glasses and graphene are some of the examples. This revival process was additionally enhanced by an application-related drive to expose these—as well as previously known and used— materials to harsher conditions: high strains, strain rates, loads and temperatures as well as combinations of various loading and environmental factors. Recent developments in aerospace, energy, automotive and defence industries as well as in microelectronics were possible thanks to extended usability envelopes for various components and structures. Another important factor was the introduction of technologie
