This journal was released in 1997 and is ranking in the first third regarding the impact factor. This journal is the core publication in the field of time-dependent structural materials. It is published by the leading publishing house of scientific and expert publicism, Springer-Kluwer. Chief editorialship of the journal allows our team direct contact with the research activities of leading experts in this field around the world.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3749403In European Union and USA were prepaired reviews of different testing methods for polymers and pertining macro-, micro- and nano-composites. These reviews will serve as recomendations for preparation of new standards. The chapter represents guidelines for the new upcoming ASTM standards. The contribution reviews all important measuring techniques for characterization of poylmers and their composites. Amoung the selected measuring techniques is also the »CEM measuring system«, developed by our research group.

COBISS.SI-ID: 11207195At given boundary conditions all systems are in most probable state, i.e., stable state. However, by changing boundary conditions through outside excitation we may enforce new stable states which are normally not observed. The new stable sate is “dissipative” – it consumes energy to be maintained. The time-scale of excitation, and its spatial orientation defines how the matter will be re-distributed within a given space, and consequently change the overall inherent structure that results in the change of the macroscopic properties of the system.
