Publisher's Synopsis
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The present volume comprises the most significant contributions made to the 8th European Conference on Residual Stresses (ECRS8), held in Riva del Garda (Trento, Italy) on June 26-28, 2010. The main topics covered were: experimental methods (including neutron and synchrotron radiation residual stress analysis), strain mapping, in situ analysis, micro-strain studies, texture-stress relationships, residual stress modelling and computation, generation of residual stresses by manufacturing and processing of materials, residual stresses in thin films, coatings and in multiphase materials, residual stresses and phase transformations, grain interaction mechanisms and elasto-plastic behaviour of materials, multiscale modelling and scale-bridging aspects. This work provides an up-to-the-minute guide to this important subject.
