The presented volume of the journal "Nano Hybrids and Composites" offers readers attention a collection of peer-reviewed articles covering some practical aspects in the research of properties and application of the micro- and nano-hybrid composite materials, synthesis of polymer composites, high-performance concrete in construction, the nanomaterials for sensors and solar cells. We hope that the presented volume will be useful for many specialists from the area of modern functional materials.
The mechanical properties of a material are those that involve reaction to an applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine their range of usefulness and govern their expected service life. Mechanical properties are also used to help to classify and identify materials. The most common properties which are considered are strength, ductility, hardness, impact resistance and fracture toughness. This special collection of peer-reviewed papers discusses the most interesting and up-to-date topics related to the subject and will provide a wealth of ideas for those working in the field.
This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the latest advances and applications in the fields of composites, micro-/nano-materials, steel and iron, ceramics, metal-alloy materials, polymer materials, optical/electronic/magnetic materials, materials physics and chemistry, structural materials and functional materials.
The objective of Coupled Problems is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art mathematical models, numerical methods and computational techniques used for solving coupled problems of a multidisciplinary nature in science and engineering. The goal of the conference was to take a step forward, in the formulation and solution of real-life problems, with a multidisciplinary vision; accounting for all of the complex couplings involved in the physical description of the problem. Simulation of multifaceted physics problems is a common task in applied research and industry. Often a suitable solver is built by connecting together several single-aspect solvers into a network. In this special issue, research in various fields was selected for consideration: adaptive methodology for multi-physics solvers, multi-physics phenomena and coupled-field problems leading to computationally intensive structural analysis. The strategies which are used to keep these problems computationally affordable are of special interest, and make this an essential reference-work.
