Imaging Methods for Novel Materials and Challenging Applications, Volume 3: Proceedings of the 2012 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the third volume of seven from the Conference, brings together 62 contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental and Applied Mechanics, including papers on: Role of optical interferometry in advancement of material characterization Three-dimensional imaging and volumetric correlation Digital holography and experimental mechanics Digital image correlation Metrology and displacement measurement at different scales Optical methods for dynamic tests Optical methods for and with MEMS and NEMS Thermomechanics and infrared imaging Imaging methods applied to biomaterials and soft materials Applied photoelasticity Optical measurement systems using polarized light Hybrid imaging techniques Contouring of surfaces Novel optical techniques
This volume contains two-page abstracts of the 482 papers presented at the latest conference on the subject, in Alexandroupolis, Greece. The accompanying CD contains the full length papers. The abstracts of the fifteen plenary lectures are included at the beginning of the book. The remaining 467 abstracts are arranged in 23 tracks and 28 special symposia/sessions with 225 and 242 abstracts, respectively.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident that followed the March 2011 tsunami and earthquake in Japan shocked the world. In the wake the of the disaster, questions were asked as to why Japanese antinuclear movements were not able to prevent those with vested interests, such as businesses, bureaucrats, the media and academics, from facilitating nuclear energy policies?
