Description: This publication comprises the articles selected from the 5th EPI International Conference on Science and Engineering (EICSE, September 28-29, 2021, virtual) and is devoted to the investigation of some latest issues in structural mechanics. Vibration research of plate structures, analysis of critical load on quadrilateral and circular hollow pipes under pure bending and pure torsion and also laboratory testing and numerical analysis on reinforced concrete frames with prefabricated cellular lightweight concrete are the main covered topics. The presented research results will be interesting to mechanical engineers in structural engineering.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The development of new materials with specific properties is discussed such as metal hydride systems. Other active areas of research include in this volume is the surface engineering to locally enhance properties: electro deposition, electrostatic spray assisted vapor deposition (ESAVD) and aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. This includes creating metallic glass coatings with high strength and corrosion resistance, cermet coatings with good wear resistance, as well as functional thin films and Nano composite coatings. The work presented here is characterized by a synthesis of experimental research and numerical modeling of the mechanical behavior of materials at different length scales, and the application of models developed to analyze structural parts.
