Description: The 2023 6th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Applications (ICMEA 2023) and the 2023 7th International Conference on Manufacturing Technologies (ICMT 2023) were successfully held in Singapore and online on January 13-15, 2023. After the rigorous review process, 28 papers were accepted and included in this conference book. Covered topics include metallic materials, metalworking and mechanical properties, biomedical materials and coatings, solid mechanics and defect identification, materials chemistry and materials application in chemical engineering, preparation and properties of advanced building materials, nanolithography technology and material physics, material forming and mechanical manufacturing. We hope that this edition will serve as an important research source of references and knowledge, which will lead to not only scientific and engineering findings but will also result in new products and technologies.

Description: This volume contains papers which were presented at the 4th International Conference on Engineering Tribology and Applied Technology 2018 (ICETAT 2018, November 16-18, 2018, Taipei, Taiwan) and reflects the modern level of the engineering research in the area of engineering tribology, materials science, and materials processing technologies. We hope this collection will be useful for many specialists from mechanical engineering sphere.

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.

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. This volume presents ten papers that cover different aspects of the current areas of research in Wear and Contact Mechanics using new innovative theoretical and computational approaches based on the Finite Element Methods (FEM) and/or the Boundary Element Methods (BEM). A number of topics are addressed, such as anisotropic contact, anisotropic wear, crack-face contact and semi-permeable electric/magnetic boundary conditions in multifield materials (e.i. piezoelectric solids), dynamic contact modeling, fatigue crack growth life estimation, fatigue life assessment, fretting fatigue, fretting wear computing, rolling contact modeling, or treatment of nonmatching interfaces in contact problems.
