, automotive, sporting goods, and other industries, structural metallic materials and their fracture properties are becoming increasingly important to designers, engineers, and researchers. This collection of 14 articles takes the needs of the variety of disciplines and applications involved with structural metallic materials into consideration by using accessible language and examples to describe new research into such topics as small scale contact and adhesion in nano- and bio-systems, mechanical characterization of thin film materials for MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s.  devices and porous metallic materials. Advances presented include glass formation abilities of certain alloys, applications of shape-memory alloys, cobalt alloys and composites, aluminum alloys, metal matrix composites and titanium alloys, with special attention to high-temperature materials such as niobium niobium (nīō`bēəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Nb; at. no. 41; at. wt. 92.9064; m.p. about 2,468°C;; b.p. 4,742°C;; sp. gr. 8.57 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, or +5.  alloys and composites, Mo-Si-B alloys for ultrahigh ul·tra·high
