Description: Nanotechnology refers to the creation of useful materials, devices and systems via the manipulation of matter on a miniscule scale; a nanometer being a billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology is being applied to almost every field imaginable, including electronics, magnetics, optics, information technology, materials development and biomedicine. The 190 selected peer-reviewed papers presented here are grouped into: Chapter 1: Nanotechnology and Industrial Application, Chapter 2: Computer Science and Engineering, Chapter 3: Communications and Management, Chapter 4: Control and Automation. This is an excellent introduction to the field for those interested in the exploitation of nanotechnology.

Description: This special collection on Advanced Measurement and Test is dedicated to the electronic testing of devices, boards and systems and covers the complete cycle: from design verification, design-for-testing, design-for-manufacturing, silicon debug, manufacturing test, system test, diagnosis, failure analysis and back to process and design improvement. Design, testing and yield professionals were invited to confront the challenges which the industry faces, and to learn how these challenges are being addressed by the combined efforts of academia, design tool and equipment suppliers, designers and test engineers.

Description: The volume consists of a collection of 124 peer-reviewed papers contributed by experts from all over the world. The topics covered include: new developments and applications in materials forming, subtractive, additive and joining processes, processing of advanced materials such as composites, polymers, semiconductors and bio-materials, and new development in the micro/nano-fabrication of engineering materials.

Description: During the past twenty years, digital design and manufacturing technology has become indispensable in many and various applications world-wide; involving many products and rapidly expanding markets. It has not only provided industry with new methods, tools and digitalized products - from design, materials processing to operating and management procedures - but is also changing the approaches, thinking patterns and working environments of people in the manufacturing field.
The rapid growth of digital design and manufacturing processes has also brought with it some processing work-flow challenges. While the various resultant products provide an ideal solution for some processing steps, more dedicated and integrated systems are sometimes required. How best can one handle incoming data and orders, automate the design and perhaps engineering, make robust plans, manage the process and data and deliver quality goods.

Description: The objective of this special collection was to provide a outlet for researchers, educators, engineers and government officials, involved in the general areas of Intelligent Manufacturing, Manufacturing Systems and Processes, Modeling and Simulation, to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.

Description: Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, and require a critical focus on bridging the gap between researchers and engineers. Advanced materials and processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools to create technologies to handle the rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. The Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies conference series creates a stimulating environment for the research collaboration of scholars at the local, national and international levels, contributes to the collective development of a knowledge-based society and economy.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume presents selected peer-reviewed papers related to diverse aspects of mechanics and materials. Cases related to the flow of fluids under various conditions, as well as heat transfer, are analyzed. There are also contributions, to the field of the design of mechanisms, which focus on biomechanics and the synthesis of mechanisms. Papers on mechanical vibration are linked to the design of machine tools, rotodynamics and vibrations in microbeams. Also, the evaluation of residual stresses and the estimation of the mechanical properties of vegetal materials are treated. Finally, fractal analysis is applied to solar radiation, and to the materials used in nanomedicine.

Description: This work on the fracture, fatigue and strength of materials comprises 238 peer-reviewed papers covering new ideas and up-to-date results. It is anticipated that this special volume will stimulate and enhance progress in fracture mechanics, materials behavior and computational science research, as well as advancing fundamental understanding in these fields.
