Key Engineering Materials

Description: The 4th International Conference on Applied Engineering, Materials and Mechanics (4th ICAEMM 2019) was taken place in Jeju Island, South Korea, during April 19-21, 2019. The primary objective of ICAEMM 2019 was to provide a world-class forum for the exchange of original ideas and new information, latest research and scientific discussions in the area of material science and engineering technology.

Description: This book collected from papers presented on the 6th International Conference on Mechanics of Masonry Structures Strengthened With Composite Materials (MuRiCo6, June 26-28, 2019, Bologna, Italy). The aim of this collection is to present and review the latest achievements in modelling, testing and controlling masonry structures strengthened with composite materials. The innovative strengthening apparatus here considered consists of composites with continuous fibres (carbon, steel, basalt, aramid, glass, PBOб etc.) reinforcing polymer or inorganic matrices. The special problems regarding the strengthening of monumental historic constructions, considering appropriate techniques in the domain of architecture structural conservation, are focused in many scientific articles authored by eminent scientists.

Description: This issue of the journal presents materials of the XV International Scientific and Practical Conference "New Polymeric Composite Materials", which was held from 3 to 7 July 2019 in the Kh.M. Berbekov Kabardino-Balkarian State University, Russia. The content of the presented papers reflects the results of research in the field of polymer synthesis and the development of new polymer composite materials, as well as the application aspects arising from them.

Description: This volume contains papers which were submitted at the International Conference on Advanced Materials, Processing and Testing Technology (AMPTT 2019, May 17-18, 2019, Guangzhou, China) and presents to readers research results in the area of modern materials and materials processing technologies. We hope this collection will be useful for many researchers and engineers from the various branches of modern industry and construction.

Description: This volume of the journal contains papers from the 8th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Engineering Materials, (ICAMEM 2019, April 18-19, 2019, Hong Kong, China) and presents readers research results in the field of applied materials, advanced materials processing technologies and chemical production.

Description: The book is a collection of the papers and the keynote lectures presented at the 33rd Surface Modification Technologies Conference (SMT33) which was held in Naples on 26 to 28 June 2019. The conference was focused on surface engineering and covered the following areas: corrosion, treatments, characterization, additive manufacturing, coatings, modification technologies. This book transfers up-to-date knowledge from scientist and experts to the common practice, representing a valuable resource for engineers, designers, researchers, and students.

Description: This book covers selected reviewed research papers submitted to AUXDEFENSE 2018 conference, held in Lisbon, Portugal on 3-4 September 2018. These papers discuss the latest research and development in the defense sector, addressing mainly three topics: new materials for enhancing mechanical, chemical and biological protection along with improved comfort of the soldiers, different testing methods to characterize their performance and lastly, modelling and simulation techniques to help product design and prediction of properties. This book will be of great interest for the researchers and scientists working in this area as well as for the industries involved in developing products for the defense sector.

Description: We are pleased to introduce the readers the Proceeding containing a selection of papers from contributed talks presented at the 6th International Conference on Mathematics and Natural Sciences (the 6th ICMNS) that was held in Bandung, Indonesia, on November 2-3, 2016. This collection represents research results in the area of the modern material sciences: functional and structural materials, materials for electronics, biotechnologies, food chemistry and pharmacology, technologies and materials in environmental engineering.

Description: The book covers a broad range of topics related to damage, failure, wear structural materials and parts and some technological aspects that provide the necessary strength properties of these materials. The collection contains the results of research and analysis of the fracture behavior of the materials that are subject to fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and extreme plastic deformation including analysis of the failures. Several papers focus on the microstructure of materials and prediction of their lifespan based on the knowledge of damage processes. The articles present various aspects of experimental, theoretical and computational investigations with an emphasis on the direct applications in engineering. The book was comprised of the papers presented at the conference "New Methods of Damage and Failure Analysis of Structural Parts" (September 10-14, 2018, Technical University of Ostrava-VSB, Czech).

Description: The “22^nd Symposium on Composites”, held in the science city of Kaiserslautern, Germany, from June 26-28, 2019, covered a wide range of composite-related topics including polymer, metal and ceramic matrix composites, hybrid structures and materials, coatings, manufacturing technologies, testing and simulation, smart materials, biocomposites and recycling. This conference was organized by the “Gemeinschaftsausschuss Verbundwerkstoffe (GAV)” within the “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V. (DGM)“ in cooperation with the „Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH (IVW)“ and the University of Kaiserslautern. Researchers from different scientific institutions and technology companies presented and discussed the latest developments and trends in all kinds of composites.
