Description: This publication contains articles that were introduced at the 2023 School of Engineering and Engineering Technology Annual Conference (2023 SEET Conference) which was held on 7-9 November 2023 in Akure, Nigeria. Research results in structural steels and alloys, green building materials and environmental engineering, mechatronics and power engineering are presented here. The content of this edition will be interesting to specialists in materials science, machinery and construction.

Advances in Hot Metal Extrusion and Simulation of Light Alloys

Edited by: A. Erman Tekkaya and Andreas Jäger

Online since: December 2013

Description: The International Conference on Extrusion and Benchmark was held for the fourth time. Invited keynote speakers and contributors from academia and industry reported on the latest advances in extrusion technology and its simulation.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The contributions covered a wide range of topics and are grouped into the categories of: benchmark, microstructure, seam welds & composite extrusion, material flow & constitutive equations, friction evaluation, dies & tools, and process control & optimization. However, many more topics such as new materials and new profiles have also been covered.

Creation of High-Strength Structures and Joints

Edited by: Prof. Heinz Palkowski and Kai Michael Rudolph

Online since: October 2010

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
This work presents the results of the initial stage of research of some sub-projects of the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 675, “Creation of High-Strength Structures and Joints by Setting up Local Material Properties”, set up in 2006 by the German Research Foundation (DFG). This Collaborative Research Centre is the result of cooperation between the research institutes of Clausthal University of Technology and Leibniz Universität, Hanover. The purpose of SFB 675 is to develop materials and manufacturing processes for high-strength structures, having graduated and locally engineered properties, by exploiting material, physical and/or geometrical effects. The incorporation of locally altered material properties, tailored to handle the strains expected to be encountered during use, lead to increases in the efficiency of the whole structure. This book offers an interesting overview of this intriguing topic.
