This volume includes selected and peer reviewed papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Superplasticity in Advanced Materials (ICSAM 2018), August 19-22, 2018, St. Petersburg, Russia. We hope this collection will be interesting and useful for many specialists whose scientific and engineering activity is related to the area of superplastic materials, research of the mechanisms of superplasticity and superplastic processing technologies.
This book comprises papers presented at the Eighth Annual Meeting on Testing and Evaluation of Advanced Materials (8th TEIM), which was held from July 19 to 21, 2017, in Kunming, China. The topics of the conference covered most aspects of analysis techniques for chemical composition and microstructures, and testing techniques of mechanical, chemical, and physical properties of advanced materials (mainly inorganic materials, including ceramics, glasses, concretes, synthesized crystals, etc.), and reflects the newest developments in these fields in China.
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.
The papers introduce recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss modelling and design of concrete structures, bridges and buildings, properties of concretes as well as significant structural projects and their realizations.
