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.

Description: Coating technology has made great strides during recent years. The properties of surface layers determine the function and quality of entire components. Thus, it is essential to obtain information concerning the development and functionality of the topmost layers. The beneficial effect of coating technology can be observed in many manufacturing fields, where it solves problems such as wear, corrosion, erosion, electrical contact, etc. Even decoration falls under this heading.

All components and mechanical parts have surfaces which are either exposed to a particular environment or are in contact with other components. Consequent corrosion and/or wear of the surface may then lead to destructive failure. A so-called “bad” surface is a favoured spot for crack initiation, resulting in a decrease in the fatigue, tensile properties and even toughness of materials. Although the development of new materials can improve the surface properties, this can also lead to a change in the properties of the substrate. For example, increasing the carbon content significantly improves the wear resistance of steels, but toughness has to be sacrificed. Increased cost is another major concern. Moreover, for some components, such as gears, a ductile substrate and a hard surface are required. In this case, surface treatment remains the only choice. Surface modification, also termed surface treatment, has thus been recognised as being a major emergent manufacturing technology for improving the surface properties, with minimal alteration of the substrate.

Description: This collection presents 23 papers. Altogether, the collection offers up-to-date information on Advanced Inorganic Fibrous Composites.

Description: This book presents ten chapters on the science and engineering of durable surfaces. The first section focusses on various types of surfaces and advanced coating processes, while the second part concentrates particularly on thermal barrier coatings. The book covers both, in-depth state-of-the-art reviews as well as cutting-edge new information emerging from ongoing research:
