Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium N
Structure-properties relationship of advanced metallic materials
Scope of the Symposium
The search for new materials with improved properties now occupies an important position in the engineering world. A number of procedures have been recently proposed to aid the development of materials science and engineering. For example, the advents of the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope, together with developments in electron microscopy, have opened new ways for the study of structure materials at the nano-scale. Advances in the field of fracture mechanics and its application to structural design and material selection have helped to offset some of the potential dangers posed by increasing technological complexity, and have undoubtedly prevented a substantial number of structural failures. The development of thermo-mechanical processing in steel industry changed the traditional concept of deformation processing, when the single operation to reduce thickness and to provide a desirable shape has been improved to product specific microstructures, with which are associated particular mechanical and physical properties. This Symposium deals with these topics, to show some of the new most important scientific and technological advances in materials science and engineering. The Symposium seeks to bring together experts from academia and industry, through various multi-disciplinary themes. This is an event that has grown in public and in quality since its launch in 2009. The average number of submitted papers is above 200.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- Techniques for microstructure and properties characterization.
- Fracture mechanics applied to structural integrity.
- Light alloys (Al, Mg, Ti) for automotive and aeronautical applications.
- Recent developments in steels for automotive industry and for gas/oil pipelines.
- Materials to resist fatigue and creep.
- Recent technologies for welding procedures.
