Topics E

Characterization and Testing

This topic focuses on experimental methods for characterizing lightweight materials across length and time scales. Contributions may include advanced microstructural characterization, in-situ and operando techniques, mechanical and functional testing, and non-destructive examination. Studies that link characterization results to material performance and reliability are particularly encouraged.
