Key Engineering Materials

Description: This Special Issue of Key Engineering Materials, commemorating the 90th birthday of Professor Jan Sobota, attempts to provide a flavor of the wide range of his interest in and contributions to structural mechanics and the Finite Element Method. Professor Sobota was an outstanding academic teacher, in both didactic and pedagogical fields, a highly talented research worker, incorporating both theory and engineering practice. His attitude, industriousness, and cordiality brought him a great esteem among his co-workers and a students’ community. He was a pioneer in using the Finite Element Method, Transfer Matrix Method and the Boundary Integrals Method and its numerical modification Boundary Element Method in former Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia and the Czech Republic). Therefore, selected papers in this book are dealing with modeling and analyzing of various reinforced concrete structures and its parts mainly by the FEM. Different problems of structures, e.g. design of complicated structures, defects of structures, determination of wind load on atypical structures, soil-structure interactions, thermal effects, etc.; are involved and their suitable solutions are provided to readers.

Description: This collection presents the results of the 2016 International Conference on Material Science and Engineering Technology (October 14-16, 2016 in Phuket, Thailand). The readers will get acquainted with the newest research and solutions in the field of the applied materials engineering and technologies of materials processing and synthesis.
We hope this volume will be of value for many researchers and engineers.

Description: The selected papers by results of the International Conference Materials and their Application (Yurga, Russia, December 15-16, 2016) cover a wide range of technical issues and modern aspects of the decision the applied problems in the materials science for mechanical engineering, construction and in the development of the different tecnologies of materials processing.

Description: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Advanced Materials Research (ICAMR 2017, January 20-22, 2017, Hong Kong, China) present a collection of the scientific papers for many aspects of the development of modern structural materials and processing technologies. This collection includes results of scientific and engineering research in the area of modern steels and alloys, other structural materials in mechanical engineering and construction, creation and utilization of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, modern technologies in materials processing and chemical production. We hope this collection will be useful for a wide range of researchers and engineers developing different areas of modern production.

Description: This collection is comprised of the papers presented at the 4th International Conference SSTT „Determination of Mechanical Properties of Materials by Small Punch and Other Miniature Testing Techniques” (October 12-14, 2016, Shanghai, China). It contains the research findings and the results of the application of the innovative testing techniques for evaluation of actual mechanical properties of the in-service structural components of industrial objects. We hope this collection will be useful for a wide audience of researchers and engineers.

Description: Papers were collected by results of 2016 International Conference on Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials in Energy (ICNNE 2016, Paris, France, June 2-4, 2016). Studies presented in this volume cover the wide range of topics related with modern technologies and materials for industrial production. We hope the presented papers will be interesting for readers and a good base for inspiration for future developments.

Description:

The main aim of the 9-th Cross-Strait Conference on Engineering Materials (National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, 7-8 November, 2014) was presentation of fundamental studies, applied research and development and industrial applications of the different engineering materials including metals and alloys, materials for energy production, nanomaterials, environmental materials, biomaterials, polymeric materials, ceramics, electronic materials, and composites.

Description:

This proceeding is composed of contributions that present the research of PhD and masters candidates from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. These contributions were presented at the 5^th annual conference "Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering 2016". The conference was held in Prague on June 15, 2016.

The organizers are pleased by the enthusiasm of students and professional public who regularly participate at conference and that the number of participants is constantly increasing. The traditional "nano-related" topics were extended to bring new insights into measurement and testing of microstructures or properties of materials on level at nano- and micro-scale.

Description: The proceedings of 2016 International Conference on Material Engineering and Application (August 19-21, 2016, Hong Kong, China) introduces to the readers with newest researches results and findings in the field of material properties, materials application in designing and in the area of technological processes of materials synthesis and processing. We hope this book will be interesting for wide range of readers whose activity related with materials science and modern technology.

Description:
