Materials and Manufacturing

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This collection of 301 peer-reviewed papers reflects a meeting of academic research and industry applications, the sharing of R&D experience and the discussion of innovative achievements in the field of materials and manufacturing. It will not only furnish readers with a broad overview of the latest advances, but also provide a valuable summary and reference work for researchers in this field.The 301 articles in this two-volume set are drawn from the International Conference on Materials and Manufacturing (ICMM), held in Jinzhou, China, in September 2011, and are meant to strengthen the connection between academic research in materials and manufacturing and industry application. Articles cover advanced structural materials, including iron and steel, nonferrous alloy, building, and related materials; functional materials like biomedical, energy, ecological environment, smart, and electronic materials; composite materials and their mechanisms and applications for both metal and non-metallic matrix composites; advanced manufacturing process and technology, including basic and applied aspects of the synthesis and characterization, modeling, processing, and application of these materials; and vehicle engineering technology and the theory, design, and technology problems of automobiles, tractors, locomotives, and military and engineering vehicles. Contributors work in materials science, engineering, and related fields mostly in Asia.
