Innovative Lightweight and High-Strength Alloys: Multiscale Integrated Processing, Experimental, and Modeling Techniques provides multiscale processing, experimental, and modeling techniques, overviews and perspectives, which highlight current roadblocks to the optimal design of new alloys, and provides viable solutions. Critical microstructural, chemical and mechanical aspects are considered with techniques for significantly improving mechanical properties. Case studies, applications and hands-on techniques that can be put into immediate practice are included throughout. Sections cover processing techniques for various alloys, including aluminum, titanium, martensitic, austenitic, and others. Additive manufacturing of alloys is also covered, along with updates on mechanical quasi-static, chemically-based, and dynamic experimentatal approaches.
The book concludes with a modeling section that features several chapters covering multiscale, microstructural, combinatorial computational, and machine learning modeling techniques. It is a key resource for academic researchers, materials researchers, mechanical engineering researchers, and professional engineers in mechanics, materials science, and chemistry.

Mohammed A. Zikry
Mohammed A. Zikry is the Zan Prevost Smith Professor at N.C. State University. His research expertise is in the general areas of multiscale modeling, mechanics of materials, fracture and defect mechanics, computational mechanics, and crystalline plasticity. He has innovated predictive computational, and experimental methodologies that can be used at physical scales ranging from the nano to the macro levels to understand how material behavior can be harnessed for new and significantly improved materials, semi-conductor devices, and structures for systems comprised of metallic alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, and shape memory polymers. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, his M.S. from the Johns Hopkins University, and his B.S. from the University of Kansas. He has also been a Senior Advisor to the Army Research Office, where he initiated and fostered large scale funding opportunities, such as MURIs and Centers of Excellence. He has been involved in numerous leadership positions, such as being the Executive Chair of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), and as an advisor to the U.S. Secretary of State, where he was involved in formulating policies for conflict minerals, the Kimberley Process and renewable energy. He has been the Editor of ASME’s Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology, an Editor for Mechanics of Materials, and chair of numerous national and international and advisory boards for universities and DoD and national laboratories. He has been awarded a Professeur, Premiere Classe, Strasbourg University. He has been awarded distinguished alumni awards from the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Kansas. He was also awarded the ASME Robert Thurston Lecture Society Award, which is in recognition of his ground-breaking research accomplishments. He is a Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), and the Society of Engineering Science (SES).
