Proceedings of the 11th international conference on NDE in relation to structural integrity for nuclear and pressurized components

This Conference, the eleventh in a series on NDE in relation to structural integrity for nuclear and pressurized components, was held in Jeju Island, Korea, from 19th to 21st of May 2015. The scientific programme was co-produced by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport (EC-JRC/IET). Previous conferences were held in Amsterdam in October 1998, New Orleans in May 2000, Seville in November 2001, London in December 2004, San Diego in May 2006, Budapest in October 2007, Yokohama in May 2009, Berlin in September 2010, Seattle in May 2012, and Cannes in October 2013. All were highly successful in the quality and scope of the technical programs and the number of attendees from all countries with an interest in the structural integrity of nuclear and pressurized components. The overall objectives of the Conference were to provide an up-to-date assessment of the development and application of NDE and to allow technical interchange between experts on an international basis. The Conference covered all aspects of this extremely important subject, with special regard to the links between structural integrity requirements and NDE performance. The development of improved NDE systems and methods was highlighted. Determination of NDE performance by development of qualification systems or performance demonstration, and experience of their use in practice was prominently featured.JRC.F.5-Nuclear Reactor Safety Assessmen

Mechanical Engineering

The book substantially offers the latest progresses about the important topics of the "Mechanical Engineering" to readers. It includes twenty-eight excellent studies prepared using state-of-art methodologies by professional researchers from different countries. The sections in the book comprise of the following titles: power transmission system, manufacturing processes and system analysis, thermo-fluid systems, simulations and computer applications, and new approaches in mechanical engineering education and organization systems

Numerical Modelling and Simulation of Metal Processing

This book deals with metal processing and its numerical modelling and simulation. In total, 21 papers from different distinguished authors have been compiled in this area. Various processes are addressed, including solidification, TIG welding, additive manufacturing, hot and cold rolling, deep drawing, pipe deformation, and galvanizing. Material models are developed at different length scales from atomistic simulation to finite element analysis in order to describe the evolution and behavior of materials during thermal and thermomechanical treatment. Materials under consideration are carbon, Q&T, DP, and stainless steels; ductile iron; and aluminum, nickel-based, and titanium alloys. The developed models and simulations shall help to predict structure evolution, damage, and service behavior of advanced materials
