Novel Trends in Production Devices and Systems III

Novel Trends in Production Devices and Systems III (NTPDS III)special volume is aimed at publishing scientific achievements in the fields of Materials Science and associated Production Technologies, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners, and specially those from the European region. The volume has been enriched taking into account years of research and teaching activities in the fields, experiences resulting from the scientific collaboration among higher education centers, e.g.: CECOL, while at the same time by also counting on a prestigious editorial review board that made strong analyses of the submitted papers. Some of the main topics included in the book are those related but not limited to the trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analyses and simulation of materials, etc.
