Description: Modern mechanical engineering is one of the most diverse and developed engineering disciplines. To meet industry demands, mechanical engineers must be equipped with analytical tools that help them explore existing and develop new cutting-edge solutions in many branches of industry. Understanding the challenges of modern development and realising the importance of sustainability in research and development, the current international conference on Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering for Sustainable Development (ISME RAMESD 2024) was focused on actual engineering solutions in mechanical engineering.

Description: This volume of the "Advanced Materials Research" journal contains papers reflecting research results in developing new materials and investigating their properties. The main covered topics comprise determining the suitability of natural fibers in reinforcing concrete, development of a sustainable cement product from solid waste, composite polymer counter electrodes, an effective anti-microbial coating, and new material for effective treatment of wastewater. It presents the results of a study on the prediction of the piezoelectric composites’ effective properties and the findings of the experimental investigation of sills’ effect on the hydraulic jump configurations evolving in a symmetrical trapezoidal channel. Furthermore, the articles demonstrate a novel method to classify surface defects on silicon wafers, an unconventional approach to the concrete evaluation study, and a new method to analyze the material flow and defect detection. The papers collected in this volume will be helpful for professionals in various engineering fields, students and academic staff.

Description: This volume contains papers which were presented at the International Russian Conference on Materials Science and Metallurgical Technology(RusMetalCon-2019, October 1-4, 2019, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation) and are devoted to discussion of the latest achievements in the field of material science and metallurgical technologies: design, synthesis and characterization of material, pyrometallurgical processes, foundry production, welding, metal forming, additive manufacturing. We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for many researchers and engineers from industrial enterprises.

2013 serves as good platforms for academics, researchers, and engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of nanotechnology and material technologies. Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale.Nanotechnology entails the application of fields of science as diverse as surface science, organicchemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, etc. There is much debateon the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many newmaterials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics,biomaterials and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the sameissues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact ofnanomaterials, and their potential effects on global economics, as well as speculation about variousdoomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governmentson whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.

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: These papers were presented at the Third International Workshop on the Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading - Protect2011 - held in Lugano (Switzerland) from August 30th to September 1st, 2011. This event sprang from the cross-border cooperation between two universities, SUPSI and Politecnico di Milano, which have long been engaged in research in these particular areas. Protect2011 is a clear sign that such collaboration offers the opportunity for mutual growth, to the benefit of all.
