Description: This volume contains the abstracts presented at the 8th International Conference on Numerical Modelling in Engineering (NME 2025), held in Ghent, Belgium, from 29 to 31 July 2025. The conference gathered international experts from academia and industry to discuss recent advances in numerical methods such as FEM, BEM, and IGA, and their application across a broad spectrum of engineering disciplines. Special focus was placed on the industrial relevance of numerical simulations in fields including Civil, Aerospace, Mechanical, Materials, Biomedical, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering. The aim was to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, promote innovation, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and methodologies among researchers and practitioners.

Description: This volume contains papers that presented on the 5th International Conference on Smart Engineering Materials (ICSEM 2020, March 6-8, 2020, Singapore) and 4th International Conference on Innovative Engineering Materials (ICIEM 2020, May 20-22, 2020, Russia). Included papers reflect the last research results in the various fields of materials science and technologies of materials synthesis and processing.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) have been the subject of scientific investigation and applied research for some three decades, but only in the past few years have these materials become realistic candidates for engineering components such as electronic heat sinks, automotive drive shafts, ground-vehicle brake rotors, fighter-aircraft fins and jet-engine components. This special issue comprises 12 selected peer-reviewed papers covering various aspects of MMCs and highlights the most recent findings in this field. The papers focus mainly on light metal matrix composites, based upon Al, Mg and Ti alloys reinforced with particles, nano-dispersoids and long fibres. The results arise from both experimental investigations and computer simulations and the contributions deal with various key issues: production processes, microstructural characteristics, mechanical behaviour, welding using advanced techniques, workability and tribology. An invaluable and up-to-date guide to the field.

Description: To commemorate Australia's Bicentenary year in 1988, a special volume was published, containing research and review papers by leading authorities from all over the world. The book focusses on the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials.
