This book contains papers presented at the 25th International Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2022, 27-29 April 2022, Portugal). The European Scientific Association for material FORMing - ESAFORM - is a non-profit scientific association founded in January 1997 with the aim of propagating knowledge and advances in topics connected to forming processes for all types of structural materials. The present volume covers a wide range of research results and engineering solutions in technologies of materials forming and will be useful for many researchers and engineers from the machinery production area.
The wide use of additive manufacturing and the development of fuel cell technologies are the mainstream topics in modern machinery and energy supply. Some research results on these issues are presented in a special section of this publication. The book will be interesting for many specialists whose activities are connected to materials and concerned technologies.
The results of research and engineering developments in the field of modern engineering materials and technologies of their processing are presented. Research results in materials degradation and failure, analysed of concrete properties at various cement compositions, studied processes of drying in agricultural products and some innovations in textile production are described. The presented edition will be helpful for many engineers and academics worldwide.
The 46th volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains papers that present the research results on properties of carbon fibre reinforced metal matrix composite and multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite, conditions of mass and heat transfer under nanofluid by numerical modelling, strength properties and microstructure of sandcrete blocks incorporated with maize straws. The volume also describes the optimal control strategy for energy management of PV-diesel-battery hybrid power system of a stand-alone micro-grid and analyses the thermal and emission performance of in-house developed natural and forced draft metal biomass cookstoves. The analysis of the possibility of implementing the system of qualification and certification of the inspection personnel in the welding field will be also interesting to readers. The professionals, students and scientific investigators working in the various engineering fields will find this volume of value.
Analysis of microstructure and properties of polymers, composites, structural metals, and functional ceramics are the main topics of this edition. Analysis of welding processes and electric arc surfacing and results of computational materials science studies are also presented. This book will be interesting for various categories of engineers and researchers from the area of applied materials science.
Fibers and fabrics are currently often used as a reinforcing element in the production of various composite materials, which are often used in mechanical engineering and in the construction sector. A separate chapter is devoted to textile reinforcing materials.
Environmental problems in textile production are mainly related to the dyeing process and the chemical treatment of fabrics and fibers. Some aspects of textile dyeing and wastewater treatment processes are also discussed in this publication.
The research results and real engineering developments in the field of modern technical textiles are presented to readers in this contribution. Smart textile, specific features of fabrics based on conductive polymers, use of special yarn coating for functionalisation of knitted fabric, the improvement of the textile thermal isolation properties, and composite reinforcing by textile materials are some topics of this book.
The results of research and real engineering developments in the field of modern engineering materials and technologies, including functional materials, materials for sensors and mechatronics, building materials based on second raw materials, technologies of wastewater treatment, and some technologies of materials processing are presented to readers in this issue.
