From 21.11. to 24.11. MATDAT.COM initiative was presented at FH Joanneum, Graz and Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria). Assist. Prof. Basan Robert, Prof. D. Sc. Rubeša Domagoj and doctoral student Marohnić Tea visited FH Joanneum where MATDAT.COM was presented to Fachhochschule staff and to Formula Student Racing teams of FH Joanneum and Technical University in Graz.
At Montanuniversität Leoben, Department of Product Engineering (at Lehrstuhl für Allgemeinen Maschinenbau) meeting and presentation of current and future was hosted by Dr. mont. Michael Stoschka. Potential cooperation was discussed and already valuable new material data on magnesium alloys are being prepared for inclusion in MATDAT.COM database.

Invited lecture titled "Estimators of fatigue material properties" was held by Assist. prof. Basan Robert at the WCFA´11 meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

Main motivation for starting the MATDAT.COM project was the idea to organize material data which I obtained from literature/experiments during work on my thesis, and to make them available to other members of the technical community and to help them save their time, money and effort. All material data included in the database are from relevant, well-documented sources (journal and conference articles, dissertations, technical reports, handbooks). As this information is already published, and since I wanted to make a contribution to the community, I have decided to keep basic access to ALL THE DATA in MATDAT.COM database COMPLETELY FREE to students and young researchers through MATDAT EDU option.
MATDAT.COM is a result of much enthusiasm and countless hours of research and hard work - and all of this without any external financial support. If you feel that efforts behind MATDAT.COM are worthwhile and find provided data/information to be useful, please consider supporting us in more substantial manner. You can do so either by registering as a MATDAT PRO user (click here for more details on options and advantages), or if you are representing a company, by sponsoring our project (contact us directly for more details and sponsor plans/options). I would also greatly appreciate you spreading the information about MATDAT.COM among your colleagues and partners as well as putting the link to MATDAT.COM onto your website.
In the name of MATDAT.COM team, I thank you in advance for your support!

Preliminary contacts with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Boller Christian and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vormwald Michael initiated in June, 2010 resulted in their kind permissions to use extensive material data published in:
Boller, C., Seeger, T.: Materials data for cyclic loading – Part A-E, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1987.
Bäumel, A., Seeger, T.: Materials data for cyclic loading – Supplement 1, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1990.
For such a huge and significant contribution to the development of MATDAT.COM, partnership and cooperation with Institut für Stahlbau und Werkstoffmechanik, TU Darmstadt was proposed to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vormwald Michael.
Additional meeting at ICM11 Conference (June 2011) between Assist. Prof. Basan Robert (leader of the MATDAT.COM project) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vormwald Michael (head of Fachgebiet Werkstoffmechanik at the Institut für Stahlbau und Werkstoffmechanik, TU Darmstadt) resulted in agreement to combine the efforts and expertise in research of material behaviour and further development of MATDAT.COM.
Already this new cooperation resulted in joint application for bilateral Croatian-German project titled "Characterisation and modelling of material behaviour for more efficient and lighter designs". Results will be known in December, 2011. and we are keeping our fingers crossed!
16. June 2011.
Paper titled "Implementation of strain-life fatigue parameters estimation methods in a web-based system" authored by: Robert Basan, Marina Franulović, Domagoj Rubeša (Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka, Croatia) and Ivan Prebil (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) was presented at the ICM11 Conference on the mechanical behavior of Materials.
The ICM holds international conferences every four years. These conferences are intended to cover progress on all aspects of the mechanical behavior of materials from both the macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. The scope of materials of interest include both industrial materials, e.g., metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, and advanced materials under development or used in particular applications.
ICM11 Conference was held 5.-9. June 2011 in lovely Como, Italy and was organized by Politecnico di Milano and Prof. Mario Guagliano acting as a Chairman of the Conference.
You can find abstract as well as the link to the fulltext of the paper published in Procedia Engineering Journal, in our Knowledge base section.

Presentation of MATDAT.COM system and demonstration features implemented sofar was held on Thursday, 12.05.2011 for members of the Chair of Modelling in Engineering Sciences and Medicine at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
26. April 2011.
Active development and implementation of MATDAT.COM project started somewhere during June 2010, after about three years of preparation and thinking about what I really wanted to do and how to do it.
Although, there is still a lot of work ahead, this really is a big step forward!
25. April 2011.
Another set of material data is added to our database. Currently, there are total of 833 datasets in the database at the moment. We expect to pass 1000 datasets in the next couple of days. Register and search our database!
21. April 2011.
Currently, there are 476 datasets in the database (unalloyed, low alloy and high alloy steels). New datasets (aluminium and titanium alloys) are being double-checked and will be added shortly.
25. January 2011.
Brief presentation of the project concept and initial results was held on Tuesday, 25.01.2011. for members of the Department for Mechanical Engineering Design at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka. Underlying idea and basic concepts were explained to the audience followed by brief overview of previous activities and up-to-date implementation of the webpage and materials database.
