Key Engineering Materials

Description:

This book comprises papers presented at the Eighth Annual Meeting on Testing and Evaluation of Advanced Materials (8^th TEIM), which was held from July 19 to 21, 2017, in Kunming, China. The topics of the conference covered most aspects of analysis techniques for chemical composition and microstructures, and testing techniques of mechanical, chemical, and physical properties of advanced materials (mainly inorganic materials, including ceramics, glasses, concretes, synthesized crystals, etc.), and reflects the newest developments in these fields in China.

Description: The present book contains the papers presented at the 8th International Conference on Tribology in Manufacturing Processes and Joining by Plastic Deformation (ICTMP2018, Elsinore, Denmark, June 24-26, 2018). The aim of the conference is to present the latest research and development on tribology in manufacturing processes.

Description: We present for readers the book that was collected by results of the International Conference on Traditional and Advanced Ceramics (ICTA2017, August 31 - September 1, 2017, Bangkok, Thailand) which was devoted to the most updated researches in the area of ceramic industry, advanced ceramic materials and metal oxides, ceramic art and design, glass and coatings technology, materials testing and characterization.

Description: This collection is based on articles describing the last results of the scientific and engineering researches in the area of materials science and materials processing technologies that were presented at the 8th International Conference on Advanced Materials Research (ICAMR-2018, January 20-22, 2018, Fukuoka, Japan). We hope that these research results will be useful for many readers whose activities relate to the development of modern materials and processing technologies

Description:

This special topics volume includes the peer-reviewed articles covering research and development in the area of the materials processing technologies in the mechanical engineering. This collection will be interesting and useful for many engineers, academics and also for students.

Description:

This collection of papers and keynote lectures presented at the 9th International Conference on the Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas (Stessa2018, Christchurch, New Zealand, February 14-17, 2018) is a comprehensive overview of the recent state-of-the-art developments in the field of seismic resistant steel structures. The book is a valuable source for all stakeholders involving scientists, professionals, companies, and authorities dealing with the reduction of the seismic risk in earthquake prone countries.

Description: The special edition of the journal “Key Engineering Materials” contains papers that were presented to the 58th International Conference of Materials Science and Applied Chemistry (MSAC 2017, 20th October, 2017, Riga, Latvia). The main objective of this collection is to present the latest scientific findings obtained in the fields of materials science and chemistry.

Description: This book is based on the results of the 6th International Conference Non-Traditional Cement and Concrete 2017 (Brno, Czech Republic from June 19 to June 22, 2017) and includes recent results of the scientific research in the area of non traditional cements and concretes, especially alkali activated materials, geopolymers, clinker-free binders, durability, high performance concrete, microstructure study etc. We hope that this collection will be useful for many specialists whose activities are related to building materials.

Description:

The 14th International Conference "Special Concrete and Composites" (October 10-11, 2017, Skalský Dvůr, Czech Republic) was focused on the problems of preparing and use of the special concretes and composites in the practice of the contemporary construction. We hope that published results will be useful for many specialists from the area of building materials and concrete structures. Using of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. Design and development of the mentioned materials must take account of basic properties of all components because they can be special by their binder system, used fillers or by other technological solutions.

Description: This collection of the scientific articles is based on the results of the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Functional Materials (ICAFM, August 4-6, 2017, Los Angeles, United States) and сovers a wide range of last research results in area of functional materials - their properties and their possible practical application in the various branches of the modern production. We hope that presented collection will be useful and interesting for many engineers and researchers whose activity are related to materials science, processing and application of materials.
