Experimental stress analysis is an important aspect of machinery construction. On the 2nd to the 5th of June 2014, the 52nd International Scientific Conference on Experimental Stress Analysis (EAN 2014) was held in Marianske Lazne in the Czech Republic as an opportunity for academics, research scientists and industrial companies to discuss the current research on applied methods of analysis of static and dynamic loads, and discuss the future or the field. The proceedings from that conference are contained in this book. Topics covered include residual stress, experimental methods of analysis in mechanics of materials and biomedical engineering, designing in structural mechanics and teaching these subjects.
