The main objectives of this special issue (consisting mainly of a selection of extended papers presented at 5th International Symposium on AirCraft Materials ACMA 2014) are to push the current limits in modeling and computation in response to industrial and society challenges. It is also to control the calculations and models in a framework that takes into account the major sources of uncertainty to optimize materials and structures. Particular attention is given to the modeling and validation of composite materials and structures

It is axiomatic that India requires to self sufficient in the design, development and production of aircraft both for civil and military use, and not, as she is at present, remains entirely dependent on foreign sources. This requirement is keenly felt in the field of defence, since it is appreciated .that the growth of the Armed Forces of a country, in fact their very existence in peace and war, is in modern times directly related to the industrial potential of that country to produce weapons of war. If the two are not properly balanced the Armed Forces would be quite ineffective in fulfilling their role of defending their country in time of emergency.
