Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies

Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, and require a critical focus on bridging the gap between researchers and engineers. Advanced materials and processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools to create technologies to handle the rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. The Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies conference series creates a stimulating environment for the research collaboration of scholars at the local, national and international levels, contributes to the collective development of a knowledge-based society and economy. This special collection of peer-reviewed papers addresses current scientific research and provides solutions to industrial problems; thereby creating an environment of mutual interest to industry and academia. It therefore constitutes a timely and up-to-date guide to the subject matter.
