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. -
Positron Annihilation - ICPA-10
Positron Annihilation - ICPA-10 presents new results and ideas of researchers who seek more profound understanding of the nature of positron annihilation. All these scientific and technological thoughts are included in these two-volume proceedings, which contain 7 review talks, 203 contributed papers (among them, 20 are invited), and 3 summary talks. The volume is complete with keyword and author indices. -
Defects and Diffusion in Metals
This is the second issue, following DDF165-166, to cover recent progress in this field. As usual, priority in abstracting has been given to the most accessible work and, in particular, to those papers which furnish original data or report important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies, although there is also extensive overage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, of the predictions of computer models, and of theoretical studies. -
Creep and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures
Recent research on the creep and fracture of engineering materials is presented, with particular emphasis being placed on: mechanisms of high-temperature deformation and fracture, materials for high-temperature service, the behavior of single and polycrystals, components and structures, grain boundaries and interfaces, and superplasticity. -
Damage Assessment of Structures
Understanding the manner in which damage evolves in engineering materials, systems or structures is currently the focus of extensive research. The object of the present book is to report recent advances in the areas of damage detection, assessment and quantification. -
Hydrogen Diffusion in Metals
The present work draws upon Diffusion and Defect Forum's 30-year project of summarizing recent progress in the fields of diffusion and defect research, by collating the relevant data which have been published during that time. The large number of studies of iron alloys reflects the great commercial importance of hydrogen embrittlement; an annoying phenomenon which has long plagued steel fabricators. -
European Powder Diffraction 3
Powder diffraction continues to be a highly active field of research where many interesting developments are currently taking place. -
Defects and Diffusion in Metals
This work, like others in the series (Defects and Diffusion inSemiconductors and Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics), continues a 30-year program which has the aim of succinctly summarizing progress in the fields of diffusion and defect research. -
Textures of Materials - ICOTOM 10
This book reflects quite clearly the expansion of the field of "textures" as well as the rapid growth of the texture community. During the recent years, the scope of this field has been expanded to virtually all crystalline and even partly crystalline materials including intermetallic compounds, ceramics, polymers as well as multiphase composites and even fullerenes. -
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.
