Books by Keyword: Numerical Modeling

Description: This edition by results of 8th International Conference: Innovative Technology for Joining Advanced Materials (TIMA 16, Timisoara, Romania, June 2 - 3, 2016) is dedicated to actual problems in the field of advanced materials joining and testing procedures. A particular attention is given to practical problems of modern industry. This volume covers the following actual topics:
• New joining technologies
• Coatings: advanced materials and innovative technologies
• Modelling and simulation of welding and allied processes
• Specific problems in advanced materials joining
• Quality of welded joints and welded structures.

Description: Composite structures are massively exploited in many engineering fields. For instance, the state-of-the-art civil aircraft (B787 and A350) are mostly made of composite materials. The design of composites leads to challenging tasks since those competencies that stemmed from the adoption of metallic materials are often inadequate for composites. Insights on many different disciplines and tight academic/industrial cooperation are required to fully exploit composite structure capabilities.

Description: This special topic volume is a compilation of works contributed by experts from the international scientific community in the field of Wear and Contact Mechanics. The papers presented in this volume cover different aspects of the current areas of research in Wear and Contact Mechanics using new innovative theoretical, experimental and computational approaches. Numerical formulations are based on the finite element method (FEM) or the boundary element method (BEM) and their variants, i.e., Isogeometric analysis, p-version of finite elements and symmetric Galerkin boundary elements. A number of topics are addressed, such as computational wear and contact modeling with Isogeometric dual mortar methods, treatment of nonmatching interfaces, node-to-surface contact formulations for high-order elements and 3D problems, elastic-plastic contact between hard metal particles, friction in lubricated line contacts, running-in wear and fretting wear computing, frictional contact problems between viscoelastic-solids, frictional indentation of functionally graded materials (FGM), electro-elastic contact modeling, estimation of contact parameters in finite element analysis and high technological applications, as auxetic microstructures modeling and duct-concrete contact interface in high curvature post-tensioned tanks.

Description: Physical and numerical simulations make it possible for materials science to go from experience-based to science-based, and from qualitative to quantitative understanding. Physical simulations, which effectively reveal the underlying principles of a material’s structure and property evolution, save significant amounts of time and money. Numerical simulations meanwhile permit descriptions and forms of material processes which are impossible to achieve experimentally. Both types of simulation are naturally gaining acceptance worldwide, and will become a prominent approach used in materials research in the 21st century. Young researchers will therefore benefit greatly from studying this volume.

Description: Mechatronics can be defined as being the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the manufacture of products and design of processes. Advanced engineering materials and related technologies increasingly rely upon multifunctional materials, materials resistant to extreme conditions and hybrid and multi-materials.

Description: The aim of the present collection is to foster exchanges between research groups having an interest in solidification under both micro- and macro-gravity conditions. Every important aspect of research in the various fields is covered in its nine sections. This is a uniquely valuable source of information on, and of insights into, solidification processes.
