Fracture and Strength of Solids VI
Fracture, Fatigue and Strength are some of the most important properties of engineering materials. -
Advanced Biomaterials VI
This volume contains a selection of carefully chosen papers from the Sixth Asian Symposium on Biomedical Materials, held in Emei, Chengdu, China, from the 19th to the 22nd July 2004. The conference welcomed some 300 delegates from 15 countries and areas: including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, etc. -
European Powder Diffraction 5
The EPDIC-5 Proceedings present the latest papers in this successful series of European Conferences on Powder Diffraction. They demonstrate the evergrowing interest from materials scientists, physicists, chemists, geologists - both industrial and academic- all having a direct interest in the practical application of this powerful and non-destructive method of analysis. -
Texture and Anisotropy of Polycrystals
Preferred crystal orientations and their statistical distribution – the polycrystalline 'texture' – are of major scientific interest and are of great importance in a wide range of industrial applications. The aim of this book is to monitor the rapid progress made in this field during the last few years. -
Advances in Nondestructive Evaluation
The aim of this 3-volume set is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers, in academia and industry, who are active in the field of non-destructive testing and evaluation. The papers cover activities which include analytical techniques as well as experimental case studies. -
Positron Annihilation - ICPA-11
For one and a half decades, the application of positron annihilation to condensed-matter physics concentrated on the study of the Fermi surfaces of metals and alloys. As other, often more powerful, techniques for performing this type of study were developed, it appeared that condensed-matter positron physics was going to be relegated to being a niche interest. However, the situation changed dramatically when it was found that measurements of positron annihilation in metals were sensitive to the structures of well-known defects. This discovery, and subsequent research made it a major tool in materials science. -
Advanced Materials Forum I
This First International Materials Symposium in Portugal was organised in order to provide a forum within which material scientists and engineers, drawn from a very wide range of specialties, could present and discuss new research findings and compare points of view concerning advanced materials. -
Disordered Materials
The physics of ordered materials is much better understood than that of disordered materials. The lack of a long-range periodic structure makes it difficult to develop the theory of disordered phases. It is not surprising that it is often found difficult to interpret experimental data on these systems. -
Nondestructive Characterization of Materials VII
The role of non-destructive evaluation is changing dramatically, and it has already expanded beyond its historical mission of detecting macroscopic defects in structures and in finished components which had usually spent a considerable time in service. -
High Pressure Effects in Chemistry, Biology and Materials Science
The aim of the celebrated High Pressure School (HPS) is to provide a platform where both young and experienced researchers can meet and exchange their experiences in high-pressure research and techniques. Since 1996, four schools have been held in Warsaw and the tradition has developed of combining the topic of high pressure techniques with workshops which are related to the rapidly developing fields of high pressure science and technology: chemistry, biology and materials science; with particular attention being paid to nanostructured materials.
