Description: Progress in materials science and engineering is closely related to material properties. It is because materials' performance is closely related to the microstructure. Therefore at present, many modern microscopic studying techniques are used in materials science. Those methods have evolved over decades, or even centuries, from quite rudimentary tools to highly sophisticated equipment. They are necessary for both the quality control of products and the development of new materials. The technical context of measuring materials' properties ranges from fundamental science to reasonably practical "real-world" field tests that can predict performance and—one hopes—prevent machines components failure. In this book, contributions on the following topics were particularly encouraged: optical and mechanical characterization of coarse-grained and nanostructured materials; correlative analysis of microscopic and mechanical properties of surface engineered materials; properties of a new generation of biomorphic materials; validation of the materials' performance in "real-world" tests.

Materials, Technologies and Quality Assurance

Edited by: Zdenko Tkac, Stefan Pogran, Jozef Zarnovsky and Katarina Kollarova

Online since: September 2013

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The presented collection of scientific papers is focused on materials, technologies and quality assurance in the field of machines and equipment. These topics are among the fundamental research fields at the Faculty of Engineering of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra.The collection contains the selection of scientific papers that present knowledge resulting from work on scientific projects supported by the Structural Funds of the European Union. Knowledge presented in the contributions focuses on materials, increasing the reliability of machines and equipment, increasing the quality of production and ultimately increasing the economic effectiveness and market competitiveness.
