Composites

• Functional Biomaterials
  There is now a tremendous worldwide interest in functional biomaterials. The present book covers the major aspects of the field. It is divided into four parts. The first section (A) covers various aspects of joint replacement. Section B presents the topic of dental ceramics, while Section C describes the microstructural aspects of biomaterials. Finally, some of the recent innovations in biomechanics are discussed (Section D), together with some features of bioengineering.
• Precision Machining of Advanced Materials
  Precision machining is an essential manufacturing process to achieve high dimensional accuracy and high surface integrity of functional components for various technological applications, such as those in aeronautical, biomedical, mechanical, metrological, mechatronic, nano-technological and microscopy industries. To achieve a satisfactory operation of precision machining, however, one must have a deep understanding of the setting and control of machining conditions, mechanisms of material removal and effectiveness of the cutting tools. As a result, a quality precision machining requires a comprehensive integration of the development of machine tools, the improvement of machining methods and the wise application of materials science and engineering and mechanics of solids.
• Diffusion in Materials DIMAT2000
  This book covers, on close to 2000 pages, all aspects of basic and applied diffusion research in all important engineering materials, including metals and intermetallics, elemental and compound semiconductors, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials and oxides.
• Soft Chemistry leading to Novel Materials
  Recent advances in solid-state chemistry have resulted in substantial progress towards achieving a better understanding of the solid state, and have even led to the development of new predictive capabilities in crystal chemistry. Entirely new ways of studying and preparing advanced materials have been the result of pursuing the so-called "soft chemistry" approach to materials science.
• Advanced Powder Technology II
  The continuing growth of PM parts in a great number of applications has resulted in intense world-wide research and development efforts in the field. Recent advances in powder technology are presented in the areas of synthesis and processing of various ceramics, including electroceramics, biometarials and nanocomposites; powder production and compaction, sintering, processing and characterization of important alloys and metal matrix composites. Properties of particular interest are corrosion, mechanical and magnetic properties.
• Fracture and Strength of Solids IV
  Fracture, Fatigue and Strength are among the most important properties of engineering materials. The present volume covers all aspects of Fracture Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, Dynamic Fracture, Damage Mechanics, Fracture Physics, Fatigue and Creep of advanced materials, special emphasis being placed on Polymer and Polymer Composites, Metal Matrix and Ceramic Matrix Composites, Advanced Ferrous and Nonferrous Alloys and Nonmetallic Materials. Also covered are various Structural Aspects, Welding and Joining Properties, Stress Corrosion, Dynamic Loading Effects and other aspects limiting the Application of High-Tech Materials.
• Advances in Engineering Plasticity
  From the early industrial revolution, metal working has been the major driving force for the development of many manufacturing technologies. “Advances in Engineering Plasticity” reports on recent developments in the field of metal forming and plasticity research from both the fundamental science and industrial application perspective.
• High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites III
  High performance materials are needed in many thermomechanical applications, such as advanced jet engines or gas turbines, thermal protection of space planes, thermal engineering and nuclear fusion. Ceramic-matrix composites, reinforced with long fibers, are expected to be the most promising candidates for such applications. However, several key problems will have to be solved in the near future. These problems include, above all, the development of a superior thermomechanical performance and oxidation resistance for ceramic fibers and composites, highly efficient protection against corrosion, better fiber/matrix interface design and performance, and cost effective processing.
• Solidification Processing of Reinforced Metals
  Much of the success of composites can be attributed to the development of innovative processes. Many useful composites are envisaged by materials scientists but the problem of how to make them is often the greater hurdle.
• Sol-Gel Production
  Sol-gel technology is an important route for the fabrication of inorganic and inorganic-organic composite materials. As is typical of chemical synthesis routes, a wide range of parameters can be used to tailor the product.
