The Symposium brought together researchers in the areas of the mechanics of defects, in a broad sense: cracks, dislocations, inclusions, precipitates, phase boundaries, and shape optimization.

A select number of contributions based on the presentations given at the symposium are collected in this volume, which provides a reference source of the present state of development in the field of the mechanics of defects.

The International Symposium on Defect and Material Mechanics (ISDMM09) was the fourth international meeting of a series, following the workshops held at Kaiserslautern (2003), Symi (2005) and Aussois (2007), and was held in the alpine city of Trento, Italy, from July 6 to 9, 2009.
