With the aim to facilitate the dissemination of research from both
academia and the industrial community, presented works from the
10th International Conference on Computational Methods and
Experiments in Material and Contact Characterisation are included
in this book. These papers discuss the latest developments in this
rapidly advancing field. The demand for high-quality production for
both industry and consumers has led to rapid developments in
materials science and engineering. This requires the
characterisation of the properties of the materials. Of particular
interest to industry and society is the knowledge of the surface
treatment and contact mechanics of these materials to determine the
in-service behaviour of components subject to contact conditions.
Modern society requires systems that operate at conditions that use
resources effectively. In terms of components durability, the
understanding of surface engineering wear frictional and
lubrication dynamics has never been so important. Current research
is focussed on modifications technologies that can increase the
surface durability of materials. The characteristics of the system
reveal which surface engineering methods should be chosen and as a
consequence, it is essential to study the combination of surface
treatment and contact mechanics. Combinations of different
experimental techniques as well as computer simulation methods are
essential to achieve a proper analysis. A very wide range of
materials, starting with metals through polymers and semiconductors
to composites, necessitates a whole spectrum of characteristic
experimental techniques and research methods. Topics covered
include: Experimental and measurement techniques; Mechanical
testing and characterisation; Composites; Characterisation at
multiple scales; Corrosion and erosion; Damage, fatigue and
fracture; Recycled and reclaimed materials; Emerging materials and
processing technology; Materials for energy systems; Contact
mechanics; Coatings and surface treatments; Tribology and design;
Biomechanical characterisation and applications; Residual stresses;
Polymers and plastics; Computational methods and simulation;
Biological materials; Evaluation and material processing.
