Preface CNME2018 is the eleventh national gathering of a prestigious series of Experimental Mechanics conferences coordinated by the Scientific Committee of Portuguese Society of Experimental Mechanics (APAET). This series of conferences is totally devoted to advances in experimental mechanics, materials, structural integrity and design. This time, the traditional CNME2018 congress is jointly organized with TEMM2018-The 1st Iberic Conference on Theoretical and Experimental Mechanics and Materials, institutionally sponsored by the University of Porto, the University of Vigo, and the Portuguese Society of Experimental Mechanics. It is held in Porto/Portugal, from 4 to 7 November 2018 The conference attracted over 80 participants with 124 accepted submissions in english, portuguese or spanish languages, involving 416 authors from Portugal, Spain, Brasil and other countries from Latin America. The conference themes which address novel and advanced topics on Theoretical and Experimental Mechanics focused on Automotive, Locomotive, Aerospace, Civil Engineering and Biomechanics, including Experimental Techniques and Instrumentation, Computational Mechanics, Composite and Advanced Materials, Mechanical Design and Maintenance, Civil and Structural Engineering Applications, Biomedical Applications, and Industrial Engineering and Management, among other topics. We believe that the meeting offered our delegates a forum for the discussion and dissemination of their recent work in assessing the mechanical behaviour of engineering structures, components and systems, fostered research that integrates theoretical and experimental mechanics and materials in the design process, and promoted exchange of ideas and international co-operation among scientists and engineers in this important field of engineering. We are particularly indebted to the authors and special guests for their presentations. Each of the 124 contributions offered opportunities for thorough discussions with the authors. We acknowledge the excellent contributions of the participants, their innovative ideas and research directions, their novel modeling and experimental techniques, and their invaluable critical comments. We are also indebted to the outstanding keynote speakers who highlighted the conference themes with their contributions and covered the main topics of the conference. We also take this opportunity to thank the members of the International Scientific Committee and the reviewers for their time and helpful suggestions, and the local organising committee for an absolutely superb organization of the meeting in this magnificent city of Porto. To all of you, we offer our deep gratitude.
J.F. Silva Gomes Porto / Portugal, November 2018.
