Description: The Book of Abstracts of the 14th International Conference on Fracture, Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2026) brings together the latest research contributions presented by leading scientists, engineers, and industry professionals working in the fields of fracture mechanics, fatigue, tribology, wear, and structural integrity. The volume covers theoretical developments, computational and numerical methods, experimental investigations, advanced materials, manufacturing technologies, and industrial applications related to the failure and durability of engineering components. It provides a comprehensive overview of current advances in the analysis, prediction, prevention, and design of materials and structures subjected to fracture, fatigue, and wear. The book aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas between academia and industry, and support the development of reliable, sustainable, and high-performance engineering systems across diverse scientific and technological disciplines.

Description: The presented research results provide a comprehensive perspective on the physical principles that underpin material behaviour and engineering systems. By integrating tribology, metallurgy, and transport phenomena, this special edition demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of modern engineering research and its contribution to technological innovation and will serve as a useful resource for researchers, engineers, and students seeking a deeper understanding of materials and engineering systems.

Description: The special edition presents a collection of research results that reflect the modern state of applied materials science. The selected articles address the development techniques, the investigation of properties, and the performance of a wide range of engineering materials and will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers to advance the understanding of processing methods and the potential application of advanced materials in science and technology.

Description: This special edition presents a multidisciplinary exploration of engineering materials, structural behaviour of industrial structures, energy systems, and sustainability-driven technologies. The collected articles reflect the increasing need for innovative solutions that address industrial efficiency, environmental responsibility, and the evolving demands of modern society.

Description: Following the long tradition that started in 1987, the International Workshop on Positron Studies of Defects 2024 (PSD-24) will be held in Como, Italy, in the period from September the 1st to 6th, 2024. The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for exchange of the latest results and scientific information concerning the positron interactions with solids and surfaces, the generation of slow positron beams and their applications.

Description:

This edition is devoted to analysing materials properties and technologies of materials processing and synthesis. Structural metal materials and technologies of their processing, analysis of corrosion properties of steel, properties and technologies of polymers and composites processing and the practice of application of some additive manufacturing technologies, research and study of building materials properties and fire-resistance of main construction materials, technologies of dye degradation and absorption in industrial wastewater, and examples of using the density functional theory method for computational research of thermoelectric materials and electronic structure of semiconductors are the main topics of this special topic publication. This book will be helpful to a wide range of specialists in machinery, construction, and environmental engineering.

Description:

This volume contains original, peer-reviewed research papers from the 2nd International Conference on Materials Science and Industrial Applications (MSIA 2020), which was held on January 11-12, 2020 in Xi’an, China. The presented collection reflects the last results of researches and engineering decisions in the area of materials science and technologies of materials synthesis and processing.

Description: This book comprises results of diverse fields and experimental researches in the area of archaeometallurgy. The Papers are peer-reviewed full text papers, abstracts of which were presented at the Ninth International Conference on the Beginnings of the Use of Metals and Alloys (BUMA IX, University in Busan, Korea, October 16 - 19, 2017). We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for many specialists, whose activity is related to research in the area of anthropology, ancient metallurgy and modern methods in archaeometallurgy.

Description:

The present publication arises as a result of the cooperation between the Institute of Production Technologies (IPT), belonging to the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (MTF) of the Slovak University of Technology (STU) and TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS INC. For the fifth time, the book aims at publishing scientific achievements on the Materials Science and Production Technologies fields, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation and recognition among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners. Some of the main topics included in the book are those related but not limited to the trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and biomaterials, polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analyses and simulation of materials, etc. Most of these topics keep a direct relation to the production technologies and systems and thus, always keeping a special focus on the materials used, there are also topics in the book addressing key production processes, technologies and systems.

Description: The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any researcher planning new diffusion studies, or for engineers who need to estimate heat-treatment times in manufacturing processes. The present compilation covers Arrhenius parameters for the host-metals: aluminum, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, hafnium, indium, iridium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, potassium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silver, sodium, tantalum, thallium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium. The 1315 entries cover the period from 1927 to 2013.
