Preface The 10 th International Conference on Local Mechanical Properties - LMP 2013 was organized by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (Czech Technical University in Prague), and the Institute of Plasma Physics, v.v.i. (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic). The conference was held in Kutná Hora from November 6 till November 8, 2013. The conference LMP 2013 continued the series of successful “Local Mechanical Properties” meetings held alternatively in Slovakia or in the Czech Republic: Košice (2004, 2005), Plzeň Nečtiny (2006), Brno – Šlapanice (2007), Herľany (2008), Telč (2009), Smolenice (2010), Olomouc (2011), and Levoča (2012). The conference LMP 2013 was attended by 98 participants from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, France, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, UK and Australia, including both academic and industrial research. The conference discussed recent results of research and development in the field of materials engineering, experimental methods and modeling, with the aim to characterize mechanical properties of materials from nano to micro/meso-scale. Conference proceedings are divided into 6 chapters according to conference sessions (Metals and Alloys; Polymers, Ceramics and Composites; Coatings and Layers; Bioapplications; Mechanics of Contact; Experimental Methods). Contributions in each session focused on instrumented indentation and new methods for hardness and other mechanical properties assessment, measurement of stress, strain, time-dependent mechanical properties, and related microstructural analyses (TEM/SEM, AFM, TERS, etc.) regardless of material type (metals, ceramics, plastics, biomaterials, concrete, etc.). The invited lectures were presented by Prof. Michael Swain from University of Sydney (Nanoindentation Derived Mechanical Properties of the Corneoscleral Rim of the Human Eye) and Prof. Vincent Keryvin from University of South Brittany (Mechanical Modeling of the Inelastic Behavior of Oxide and Metallic Glasses via Nano Indentation). Keynote lectures were presented by Prof. Bohumír Strnadel (Local Characteristics of Ductile Fracture Surface in Spheroidized Steels), Prof. Jaroslav Menčík (Energy Aspects of Concentrated Contact and Instrumented Indentation), Dr. Jiří Matěček (Residual Stresses and Young's Moduli of Plasma Sprayed W+Cu Composites and FGMs Determined by In-situ Curvature Method) and Dr. Hanuš Seiner (In-situ Detection of Surface Micro-Cracking in Ultrafine-Grained AZ31 Magnesium Alloy by Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy). The poster competition was also successfully incorporated in the conference program. The LMP 2013 conference organizers would like to thank all the participants for making this conference successful. The sponsors are gratefully acknowledged for the support of the conference. We hope that the next conference LMP 2014 in High Tatras will be as much auspicious as was this year event.

Preface

The 10th International Conference on Local Mechanical Properties - LMP 2013 was organized by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (Czech Technical University in Prague), and the Institute of Plasma Physics, v.v.i. (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic). The conference was held in Kutná Hora from November 6 till November 8, 2013.

The conference LMP 2013 continued the series of successful “Local Mechanical Properties” meetings held alternatively in Slovakia or in the Czech Republic: Košice (2004, 2005), Plzeň – Nečtiny (2006), Brno – Šlapanice (2007), Herľany (2008), Telč (2009), Smolenice (2010), Olomouc (2011), and Levoča (2012).

The conference LMP 2013 was attended by 98 participants from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, France, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, UK and Australia, including both academic and industrial research.

The conference discussed recent results of research and development in the field of materials engineering, experimental methods and modeling, with the aim to characterize mechanical properties of materials from nano to micro/meso-scale.

Conference proceedings are divided into 6 chapters according to conference sessions (Metals and Alloys; Polymers, Ceramics and Composites; Coatings and Layers; Bioapplications; Mechanics of Contact; Experimental Methods). Contributions in each session focused on instrumented indentation and new methods for hardness and other mechanical properties assessment, measurement of stress, strain, time-dependent mechanical properties, and related microstructural analyses (TEM/SEM, AFM, TERS, etc.) regardless of material type (metals, ceramics, plastics, biomaterials, concrete, etc.).

The invited lectures were presented by Prof. Michael Swain from University of Sydney (Nanoindentation Derived Mechanical Properties of the Corneoscleral Rim of the Human Eye) and Prof. Vincent Keryvin from University of South Brittany (Mechanical Modeling of the Inelastic Behavior of Oxide and Metallic Glasses via Nano Indentation). Keynote lectures were presented by Prof. Bohumír Strnadel (Local Characteristics of Ductile Fracture Surface in Spheroidized Steels), Prof. Jaroslav Menčík (Energy Aspects of Concentrated Contact and Instrumented Indentation), Dr. Jiří Matějíček (Residual Stresses and Young's Moduli of Plasma Sprayed W+Cu Composites and FGMs Determined by In-situ Curvature Method) and Dr. Hanuš Seiner (In-situ Detection of Surface Micro-Cracking in Ultrafine-Grained AZ31 Magnesium Alloy by Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy). The poster competition was also successfully incorporated in the conference program.

The LMP 2013 conference organizers would like to thank all the participants for making this conference successful. The sponsors are gratefully acknowledged for the support of the conference. We hope that the next conference LMP 2014 in High Tatras will be as much auspicious as was this year event.
