Key Engineering Materials

Description:

The proceedings of the 12^th National Scientific Conference “Ti-2015” contains 35 peer-reviewed articles from 16 Polish scientific centres which cover a wide range of basic and applied aspects of the research, modelling, processing and application of titanium and its alloys. The conference “Titanium and its alloys” is biannual national conference that has been held in Poland since 1990. It is an occasion to bring together scientists and practitioners, exchange their knowledge and experiences. The aim of the proceedings is to develop and promote the use of titanium in technology and medicine. The presented contributions cover these main topics:

- Forming the structure and microstructure of titanium materials as well as their physical, chemical and mechanical properties

- Surface engineering, advanced technologies of surface and thermo-plastic treatment

New technologies of titanium production and processing as well as their applications in chemical, aerospace, construction, marine industries and medicine.

Description: Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Non-Ferrous Metals ICNFM'15 (June 22-24, 2014, Cracow, Poland) which cover a wide spectrum of modern decisions in area of production and use of non-ferrous metals and alloys.

Description: This special topic volume is a compilation of works contributed by experts from the international scientific community in the field of Wear and Contact Mechanics. The papers presented in this volume cover different aspects of the current areas of research in Wear and Contact Mechanics using new innovative theoretical, experimental and computational approaches. Numerical formulations are based on the finite element method (FEM) or the boundary element method (BEM) and their variants, i.e., Isogeometric analysis, p-version of finite elements and symmetric Galerkin boundary elements. A number of topics are addressed, such as computational wear and contact modeling with Isogeometric dual mortar methods, treatment of nonmatching interfaces, node-to-surface contact formulations for high-order elements and 3D problems, elastic-plastic contact between hard metal particles, friction in lubricated line contacts, running-in wear and fretting wear computing, frictional contact problems between viscoelastic-solids, frictional indentation of functionally graded materials (FGM), electro-elastic contact modeling, estimation of contact parameters in finite element analysis and high technological applications, as auxetic microstructures modeling and duct-concrete contact interface in high curvature post-tensioned tanks.

Description: This book comprises 117 papers presented in the Sixth Annual Meeting on Testing and Evaluation of Advanced Materials, which was held from April 23 to 25, 2015, in Chengdu, China. It covered most aspects of analysis techniques for chemical composition and microstructures and testing techniques on 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: This book comprises 36 papers presented in the 4th Asia Pacific Conference on Optics Manufacture (APCOM 2014), November 9-11, 2014, Guangzhou, China. 
APCOM 2014 aims to provide an exciting platform for the international exchange of latest research findings and developments in the area of optical design, advanced optics manufacturing technology and optical measurement.

Description: This special topical volume on is aimed to cover the recent advancements and trends in the area of building materials with reference to energy efficiency and sustainable development. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally-minded producers of building materials and to engineers, architects and building professionals, but it may also be of use to readers and researchers who are interested in building construction but who lack specialist technical knowledge.
