Author Description

This symposium proceedings provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the degradation that occurs in the microstructure and mechanical properties of structural and electronic materials resulting from service exposure. Topic areas discussed, include: mechanisms of microstructural degradation resulting from service exposure; effect of microstructural degradation on mechanical behavior; development of life prediction methodology for in-service structural and electronic components; experimental techniques to monitor degradation of microstructures and mechanical properties; and the effect of environment on microstructural degradation and mechanical properties.
