Material Strength And Applied Mechanics

Material Strength and Applied Mechanics

Keeping abreast of the latest developments in materials technology and techniques is vital to a wide range of sectors such as aerospace, the automotive industry, and mechanical and civil engineering. A knowledge and understanding of the latest research is crucial to facilitate the adoption of appropriate solutions in tackling those challenges that will inevitably be encountered. This book presents the proceedings of MSAM 2023, the 6th International Conference on Material Strength and Applied Mechanics, held as a hybrid event from 4-7 July 2023 in Macau, China. This annual conference provides a platform for all those engaged in basic or applied research, technology development, application, and innovation in material strength and applied mechanics to exchange information and ideas about the latest research in the field, and is attended by scientists and experts from academia and industry from around the world. The book contains 17 papers accepted from 50 submissions received for presentation at the conference. These were selected following a rigorous peer-review process, in which each paper was assessed by two or three reviewers on the basis of criteria including scope, application, research merit, and experimental techniques. Topics covered include applied mechanics, intelligent manufacturing technology, mechanical engineering, optimal design of structures, advanced materials sciences, computational methods and modeling, simulation processes, and industrial applications. The book offers an overview of the latest advancements in material strength and applied mechanics, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.

MATERIAL STRENGTH AND APPLIED MECHANICS.

Applied Mechanics, Behavior of Materials, and Engineering Systems

This book covers a variety of topics in mechanics, with a special emphasis on material mechanics. It reports on fracture mechanics, fatigue of materials, stress-strain behaviours, as well as transferability problems and constraint effects in fracture mechanics. It covers different kind of materials, from metallic materials such as ferritic and austenitic steels, to composites, concrete, polymers and nanomaterials. Additional topics include heat transfer, quality control and reliability of structures and components. Furthermore, the book gives particular attention to new welding technologies such as STIR welding and spray metal coating, and to novel methods for quality control, such as Taguchi design, fault diagnosis and wavelet analysis. Based on the 2015 edition of the Algerian Congress of Mechanics (Congrès Algérien de Mécanique, CAM), the book also covers energetics, in terms of simulation of turbulent reactive flow, behaviour of supersonic jet, turbulent combustion, fire induced smoke layer, and heat and mass transfer, as well as important concepts related to human reliability and safety of components and structures. All in all, the book represents a complete, practice-oriented reference guide for both academic and professionals in the field of mechanics.
