ModTech International Conference - Modern Technologies in Industrial Engineering IV

Abstract

The International Conference ModTech2016 held between 15-18 of June 2016 at the Ramada Hotel in Iaşi has been a representative scientific event for producers of technology, universities, research institutions and industrial entities where significant national and international scientific achievements have been presented and discussed in the fields of manufacturing engineering, composite materials and technology, characterization, modeling and simulation of mechanical processes, robotics and integrated computer-aided manufacturing, technology transfer, micro and nanotechnologies, maritime engineering and navigation.Organized by the Professional Association of Modern Manufacturing Technology with “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, “Alecu Russo” State University of Bălţi, Republic of Moldova, Silesian University of Technology from Gliwice, Poland, Maritime University of Constanţa-Romania, “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacau-Romania and Dunarea de Jos” University of Galaţi-Romania acting as co-organizers, this scientific event has been a driver for stimulating scientific creation locally, regionally and internationally through the publication of presented papers in an ISI- abstracted volume (IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering) in Great Britain. In ISI journals, having an impact factor from Great Britain (International Journal of Materials and Product Technology), India (Indian Journal of Engineering and Materials Sciences) and in a journal abstracted in international databases (International Journal of Modern Manufacturing Technology), 131 participants from different national and international universities presented papers in plenary, section sessions and in poster presentations. Authors and co-authors of abstracts have been from 25 countries: USA, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Germany, Serbia, South Korea, Romania, Turkey, Republic of Moldova, Spain, China, India, the Netherlands, Uzbekistan, England, Ukraine, Iraq, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hertzegovina, Vietnam, Bulgaria and Finland.The opening ceremony took place in the presence of the Mayor of Iaşi, Mihai Chirica, and the Rector of “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical university of Iaşi, Professor Dan Cascaval Ph.D. Moreover, three Octavian Pruteanu excellence awards have been given to Professor Marcel Van de Voorde, DELFT University in the Netherlands, Professor Claudiu Vasile Kifor, Vice Rector in charge of research at “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu and to Dr. Marek Placzek from the Silesian University of Gliwice, Poland for their contribution to the promotion and development of ModTech International Conference.10 papers of high scientific value were presented in the three plenary sessions by Professor Elsayed A.
