This series will include books on state-of-the-art developments in computational and experimental methods in structures, and as such it will comprise several volumes covering the latest developments. Each volume will consist of single-authored work or several chapters written by the leading researchers in the field. The aim will be to provide the fundamental concepts of experimental and computational methods as well as their relevance to real world problems.

The scope of the series covers the entire spectrum of structures in engineering. As such it will cover both classical topics in mechanics, as well as emerging scientific and engineering disciplines, such as: smart structures, nanoscience and nanotechnology; NEMS and MEMS; micro- and nano-device modelling; functional and smart material systems.
