This book provides selected contributions of the 3rd International Conference on Advanced Joining Processes, held in Braga, Portugal, on October 19–20, 2023. 

The volume is dedicated to the current developments in mechanical joining (1st Section), joining by plastic deformation (2nd Section), and welding (3rd Section). The selected contributions represent the state of the art in advanced methods of joining. The book serves as a reference volume for researchers and graduate students working with advanced joining processes.

This monograph is written based on the author's research on seismic assessment and retrofitting of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures during the recent two decades. It points out that reinforcement corrosion is one of the main reasons that contribute to the deterioration of the seismic performances and durability of reinforced concrete structures. It illustrates that the mechanism of reinforcement corrosion should be investigated to propose a method for evaluating the seismic performance of corroded components and structures. It calls for a comprehensive investigation on the...

This book acts as a handbook on the topic of x-ray scattering as applied to epitaxial complex oxide films, providing detailed information to collect the data, how to analyze the data and the practical sides of the experiments. The first chapter considers laboratory-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods: the indispensable X-ray characterization methods used for phase analysis, epitaxial relationship determination, advanced analytical and data fitting techniques, and grazing incidence diffraction. The subsequent chapters focus on advanced techniques that are typically performed at...

This book presents select peer-reviewed papers from the First International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (ICMEI3 2024). It covers recent research on various topics such as mechanics of functional materials and smart structures, composite and sandwich materials, impact mechanics, fracture and damage in different materials, mechanics of advanced and soft materials, material characterization, solid-fluid Interaction, tribology, condition monitoring and many others. It is a valuable reference for academics, researchers and civil and mechanical engineers working in areas of structural...

This book summarizes the past, present, and future work in biotribology with a special emphasis on its applications in the design and manufacture of biomedical devices and their potential future uses. The book covers several aspects of biotribology such as biocompatible materials, joint tribology, skin tribology, oral tribology, tribology of the other human bodies or tissues, animal tribology, plant tribology, medical device tribology, and more.

This is an essential reference for academics, biomedical researchers, biologists, tribologists, chemists, physicists, biomedical...
