Author Description

This edition includes the selected papers presented at the 14th International Conference "Innovative Technologies for Joining Advanced Materials" (TIMA 23) held in Timișoara, România, by videoconference, on November 09-10, 2023. The event brought together researchers from institutes, universities and economic fields from different countries to discuss the following actual topics: new joining technologies; modelling and simulation of welding processes; specific problems in advanced materials joining; characterization of advanced materials and joints; fracture mechanics, damage of advanced materials and remaining life assessment; quality of welded joints and welded structures; engineering applications of surface coatings; non-destructive testing (NDT); nanoscience, nanotechnology and composites. We hope the presented research results will be useful to many researchers and engineers in materials science, machinery and construction.
