Fracture, Fatigue, Failure and Damage Evolution, Volume 7 of the Proceedings of the 2017 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics

The seventh volume of nine from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. Session organizers include: Jay Carroll, Shuman Xia, Allison Beese, Ryan Berke, Garrett Pataky, Samantha Daly, Kavan Hazeli, Antonios Kontsos, Omer Ozgur Capraz, Scott Grutzik, Onome Scott-Emaukpor.

The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of areas, including:

• Mechanics of Energy & Energetic Materials
• Vibration Effects in Fracture & Fatigue
• Fracture & Fatigue of Additively Manufactured Materials
• In Situ Techniques for Fatigue & Fracture
• Microscale & Microstructural Effects on Mechanical Behavior
• Fracture & Fatigue of Composites
