Materials Performance, Modeling and Simulation

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The name of the gathering was changed in 2012 from conference to congress,reflecting its rapid growth since it began during the early 1990s. Fourvolumes of proceedings present 534 selected papers from the23 symposia. This fourth volume contains 102 papers from the symposia on theadvanced processing of materials, materials modeling and simulation, andmaterial surfaces and interfaces. The topics include the effect of processparameters on the hydroforming of stainless steel tubular components withrectangular sections, magnetic properties and morphology of cobalt particlesprepared in different liquid solvents, the effect of differentconcentrations of impregnated sodium silicate on the performance ofcarbon/copper composites, the probabilistic safety assessment ofrail-mounted gantry cranes, the theoretical calculations of electronicstructure and mechanical properties of quenched carbon structural steel, andsurface stability in a biaxially pre-tensioned soft elastic filminteracting with a contactor.
