Composites

• Ceramic Interfaces: Properties and Applications V
  This book considers many of the various aspects of ceramics interfaces from a gamut of viewpoints. The aim has been to bring together a wide range of specialists in this field, and this approach enables the reader to grasp quickly and fully the present level of understanding and to appreciate the problems which remain in the various research efforts pertinent to ceramic interfaces.
• Magnesium Diborid
  This substance is very much a material for the new millennium, since its new manifestation as a high-temperature superconductor can be dated precisely from the seminal 2001 Nature paper (1st March, p63), Superconductivity at 39K in Magnesium Diboride, by J.Nagamatsu, N.Nakagawa, T.Muranaka, Y.Zenitani and J.Akimitsu of the Physics Department of Aoyama-Gakuin University, Tokyo. Until then, it had been seen and used only as a rather nondescript ceramic/abrasive.
• Composite Materials III
  Composite materials have come to play essential roles in various areas of industry and technology during the past few decades due to their excellent performance. In order to exchange innovative ideas and technical information in this area, Chinese scientists on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have already met twice since 2000. The 3rd cross-strait conference on composite materials was held on May 7-12, 2003, in Wuhan, China; sponsored by the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
• Advanced Ceramics and Composites
  Ceramics promise to be one of the leading materials in the 21st century; with their enormous potential to play essential roles in the important and expanding fields of nano-science and technology, information technology, ecological science and engineering, energy-related engineering and life sciences.
• Damage Assessment of Structures V
  This volume presents the proceedings of the fifth in the celebrated series of biennial international conferences on the Damage Assessment of Structures (DAMAS 2003). Studies of damage evolution, location and characterization are primordial aspects of the rapidly expanding field of SHM (structural health monitoring) and are major themes in this volume. In order to analyze efficiently the data-rich information provided by monitoring and by NDE (non-destructive evaluation) techniques, it is necessary to use advanced signal-processing procedures. Therefore, a significant fraction of the present book is dedicated to the optimization of signal processing and computation methods.
• Progress in Experimental and Computational Mechanics in Engineering
  This book comprises the papers presented at the International Conference on Experimental and Computational Mechanics (ECM02), which was held in Dunhuang, China. The proceedings of this prestigious Sino-Japanese conference covered very wide-ranging topics.
• Bioceramics 15
  Since their inception Bioceramics meetings have provided a treasure house of information for both scientists and clinicians in the medical field. The clinical applications are numerous, in particular in the areas of orthopaedics, maxillofacial, plastic and ocular surgery, percutaneous devices, tissue engineering and sensors. This volume in addition to research papers contributed also presents selected overviews and discussions on recent bioceramics research and trends.
• Advances in Abrasive Technology V
  The history of abrasive technology dates from the very dawn of mineral utilization and continues to this day with the development of precision-finishing technology.The current requirements of high precision and high quality surfaces for critical components and devices, such as silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, lenses in the precision optics industry, and dies in the injection molding industry, make the technology of abrasives more important than ever, and essential, albeit indirectly, for the rapid development of information technology. This book therefore plays a valuable role in presenting recent advances in the field of abrasive technology.
• SiAlONs
  This book contains the papers presented at the International Symposium on SiAlONs, held at Tomiura, Chiba, Japan, on December 2-4, 2001. The symposium provided a forum for researchers, from all over the world, to discuss recent developments in the theory and applications of SiAlON ceramics and composites.
• Towards Innovation in Superplasticity I
  This publication presents the proceedings of the International Symposium towards Innovation in Superplasticity. The research project, "Innovation in Superplasticity", was chosen to be one of the priority scientific research efforts in 1996, of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan.
