Electromechanical and Systems Engineering

Edited by: G. Urriolagoitia-Calderón, L. H. Hernández-Gómez and M. Toledo-Velázquez

Online since: August 2009

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume presents selected peer-reviewed papers related to diverse aspects of mechanics and materials. Cases related to the flow of fluids under various conditions, as well as heat transfer, are analyzed. There are also contributions, to the field of the design of mechanisms, which focus on biomechanics and the synthesis of mechanisms. Papers on mechanical vibration are linked to the design of machine tools, rotodynamics and vibrations in microbeams. Also, the evaluation of residual stresses and the estimation of the mechanical properties of vegetal materials are treated. Finally, fractal analysis is applied to solar radiation, and to the materials used in nanomedicine.

XVII International Materials Research Congress

Edited by: Alexander Balankin, José Martínez Trinidad and Orlando Susarrey Huerta

Online since: March 2009

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The subjects covered in this special collection are all related to fatigue, corrosion-fatigue, elastoplastic fracture, damage, mixed-mode loading, brittle layers, the effects of boriding, short cracks, residual strength and many other topics. In all of the cases considered, the solutions obtained are based upon theory, experimental results and, in some cases are complemented by numerical analysis.
