The 8th European Symposium on Martensitic Transformations ESOMAT 2009

Esomat conferences are main European scientific events in the field of martensitic transformations in solids and more particularly in shape memory materials and steels. They have been held on a three-year cycle since 1989 and the Esomat2009 in Prague was the first conference held out of the former western Europe. Interdisciplinary interactions among specialists with professional backgrounds ranging from physics through material science towards multidisplinary field of modern functional materials involving also mathematics, mechanics, design and development of engineering applications currently dominate the martensitic transformation research community.
