Description:

The 48th volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" is presented to your attention. The included papers are reflecting the research results in the fields of materials science, applied mechanics and mechanical engineering, power engineering, power efficiency, control, mechatronics, communication and industrial engineering. The proposed scientific articles can be useful for the majority of engineers as well as for academic teachers and students majoring in the mentioned fields of engineering science.

Description: This up-to-date collection, “Eco-Materials Processing and Design IX”, covers – on a global scale – the outstanding advances made in investigating, producing and using eco-materials. It furnishes materials scientists and end-users with a valuable source of information and new concepts covering the complete spectrum of ecology, eco-materials, nano-materials, bio-materials, recycling, environmental protection and energy conversion related materials.

Description: This sixth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective V (Volumes 218-220) and the end of April 2004 (journal availability permitting).

Description: The use of laser science and technology in the development of materials has made significant progress due to the flexibility of control of the beam's interaction, with regard to wavelength, energy-density and interaction time, and the wide choice of interaction environments. It is difficult to think of any field of science where lasers have not left their mark in improving material properties and behaviour, or in widening material applications. Lasers have not been slow to find important uses in fields ranging from defence to medical science. Many of these aspects are discussed in this volume, by experts in the relevant field.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
High performance materials are needed in many thermomechanical applications, such as advanced jet engines or gas turbines, thermal protection of space planes, thermal engineering and nuclear fusion. Ceramic-matrix composites, reinforced with long fibers, are expected to be the most promising candidates for such applications. However, several key problems will have to be solved in the near future. These problems include, above all, the development of a superior thermomechanical performance and oxidation resistance for ceramic fibers and composites, highly efficient protection against corrosion, better fiber/matrix interface design and performance, and cost effective processing.

Description: Boron nitride thin films can be deposited on different substrates using techniques such as plasma deposition, ion beam deposition and reactive sputter deposition.
