Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The volume on Fracture Mechanics mostly presents papers concerning research problems in the field of fatigue. Fracture mechanics is the subject of about 28% of all papers. In several articles new, sometimes futuristic, experimental techniques were shown. Keyword: Fracture Mechanics, Stuctural materias, composites, ceramics, steels, alloys, fatique, damage Most of the papers consider research problems in the area of fatigue, and nearly a third of them explore fracture mechanics. Several describe new, sometimes futuristic techniques. The 43 selected papers include discussions of test stand and method for determining the usefulness of magneto-rheological composites in active suspension systems, estimating the size of damage to an aircraft structure using an embedded sensor network that generates elastic waves, applying a fictitious radius to fatigue life calculations of bending notched specimens, fatigue crack growth in titanium alloy after hardening and aging, and using the boundary element method to simulate crack growth in compressor blades subjected to vibration. - Construction- Engineering- Materials Science
