Bøker av Lucas F. M. Da Silva

This book provides selected papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Mechanics of Solids, held in Porto, Portugal, November 3-4, 2022.The book focuses on the mechanics of deformable solids, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. Topics like mechanical behaviour of materials, mechanics of composite materials, plasticity, fracture mechanics, and optimum design methods are covered. This volume provides the latest trends related to mechanics of solids and appeals to researchers and practitioners across the broad spectrum.

This book provides selected papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Industrial Applications of Adhesives 2022, held in Carvoeiro, Portugal, 3-4 March 2022.The volume focuses on applications of adhesive bonding in the industry such as automotive, aeronautic, railway, marine, energy, and electronics. A wide range of topics like adhesion assessment between polymers and metals, pressure sensitive adhesives, adhesive bonding process optimization, civil applications, adhesive joints in composite materials and elastic adhesives are covered.The book presents the latest results and innovations in this field, useful for adhesive producers and adhesive users.

This book offers selected contributions on fundamental research and application in designing and engineering materials.  It focuses on mechanical engineering applications such as automobile, railway, marine, aerospace, biomedical, pressure vessel technology, turbine technology. This includes a wide range of material classes, like lightweight metallic materials, polymers, composites, and ceramics. Advanced applications include manufacturing using the new or newer materials, testing methods, multi-scale experimental and computational aspects.

This book focusses on additive manufacturing including many aspects, like vacuum assisted high pressure die casting, semi-solid metal casting, compressive and tensile forming processes, micro and nano machining, nanocomposite manufacturing, adhesive bonding, laser cutting and joining. Subtopics like modelling and optimization of manufacture processes, design for manufacturing strategies, development of new manufacturing technologies, design of novel manufacturing equipment, comparative case studies, cost and quality analysis, ecological aspects and destructive and non-destructive testing of manufactured components are also presented.The book provides a state of the art of engineering manufacture and also serves as a reference volume for researchers and graduate students using technological processes.This volume gathers selected contributions of the 1st International Conference on Engineering Manufacture 2022, held in Porto, Portugal, on May 5-6, 2022.
