The series of conferences focus mostly on surfaces, interfaces, and thin films. The 26 papers selected for these proceedings cover experimental and measurement tests, computer simulation, surface problems in contact mechanics, thick and thin coatings, surface modifications, fracture fatigue and mechanics, and composite materials and structures. Among the topics are calculating frictional heating in polymers, surface tension problems with distributed torque, using nitriding to enhance wear resistance of cast irons, some reasons for decreased service time of dies for aluminum hot extrusion, and optimizing roughness and residual stresses through controlled shot peening and isotropic finishing of surfaces. Only the authors are indexed. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Containing the papers from the eleventh biennial conference on the topic, first held in 1993, this book covers contact mechanics and surface effects and their interaction, so important in modern engineering. The life and performance of structural components is affected by surface conditions such as wear, corrosion and, high cycle fatigue. Surface treatments that address contact conditions can reduce costs by extending the life of components. Hence the importance of the conference discussions.The book's papers cover such matters as Experimental and measurement tests; Fracture fatigue and mechanics; Surface modification; Surface problems in contact mechanics; Thick and thin coatings; Heat transfers; Multiscale experiments and modelling; Computer simulation; Biocompatible materials; Vacuum technologies; Residual stress problems; Tribomechanics; Case studies.
