A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The transcendent technologies, which are the primary drivers of the twenty first century and the new economy, include nanotechnology, microelectronics, information technology and biotechnology as well as the enabling and supporting civil infrastructure systems and materials. Mechanics and materials are essential elements in all of the transcendent technologies. Research opportunities and challenges in mechanics and materials, including nanomechanics, carbon nano-tubes, bio-inspired materials, coatings, fire-resistant materials as well as improved engineering and design of materials are presented and discussed.
