The aim of special volume was to gather the current knowledge from researchers from institutes and universities from different countries on actual topics of structural integrity of welded structures from the welders’ point of view as well as that of the material testing specialists. A particular attention was concentrated on practical problems coming from the industry.The volume includes 33 scientific papers representing the results obtained in the research and development activities within institutes and universities from Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Romania and Serbia.The topics covered are :Prospects in materials science, nano-mechanics, nano-materials, nano-technologies, computer simulation paradigm, Advanced materials and joints, mechanical and structural characterizationQuantitative non-destructive testing, Fracture mechanics of metallic and non-metallic materials, Materials damage under time-dependent-actions, fatigue, creep, corrosion, Remaining life assessment of industrial equipments, Quality management of materials and welded joints, Damage of metal and non-metal structure.

Control Engineering in Materials Processing II

Edited by: Andrzej Kot

Online since: September 2013

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The special topic volume with invited papers covers works implementing the Control Theory to materials processing, especially the field of putting materials properties to its better use in manufacturing processes. Instead of only using principles of control theory for materials, researchers use phenomena arising in materials for control purposes. In this topic book most considerations are focused on the group of “Smart Materials” ie. Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) or Piezoelectrics.
