Preface

This book contains articles presented at the International Symposium on Solid Mechanics, held at the University of São Paulo, in São Paulo, Brazil, 5-7 March 2007. This is the first Brazilian conference fully dedicated to this branch of the engineering science.

The Brazilian technical community working in the field of Solid Mechanics has longed for a specialised conference. Hence, the recently created Technical Committee on Solid Mechanics, from the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, ABCM, set as its main first task to organize this conference, with the present book reflecting the effort of the committee and the enthusiasm of the authors.

The book features articles on many topics, ranging from meshless methods, fatigue, failure, composite materials, structural impact, corrosion and optimisation. It is believed that the forty chapters herein are a good sample of what is being investigated in this field by engineers and scientists working in Brazilian universities and research institutes. The book is a valuable source of technical information and it is hoped that it can assist and inspire the investigator working in Solid Mechanics.

The editors would like to take the opportunity of thanking all the contributors to this volume for their effort in meeting all the tight deadlines and in writing such fine works. We also thank Renato Yamassaki and Ruben Ferreira for the hard work in formatting the whole book. Ana Lucia Froés de Souza, secretary to ABCM, was most helpful in many issues related to the organization of the conference. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the support of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering to this event.
