Books by Keyword: Experimental Methods

Description: In this edition of "Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials V" diffusion phenomena in solids and liquids with a special focus on characterization of diffusion processes and corresponding experimental and numerical techniques is addressed. Diffusion and diffusion related processes play an important role in the development of advanced engineering materials and associated fields. In-depth knowledge of these different transport phenomena at many levels, from nano to macro, has therefore long attracted the attention of many researchers in materials science and engineering and related disciplines. The present topical volume captures an extensive cross-section of some of the recent progress in mass and thermal diffusion and related areas. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the field, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large.

Description: Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 26th Symposium on Experimental Mechanics of Solids, October 22-25, 2014, Jachranka, Poland.

The 40 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Experimental and Numerical Methods and Equipments for Practical Investigation and Engineering Designing;
Chapter 2: Investigation Processes of Fatigue and Fracture;
Chapter 3: Investigations Mechanical Properties of Advanced Materials;
Chapter 4: Experimental Methods for Investigations of Devices, Machines and Structures

Description: The book brings recent results of research and development in the field of materials engineering, experimental methods, modeling, etc., with the aim to characterize mechanical properties of materials from nano to micro/meso-scale. Contributions focus on indentation and other methods for hardness as well as other mechanical properties assessment, measurement of deformations and stresses, time-dependent properties with related microstructure analyses (TEM/SEM, AFM, etc.) regardless of material type (metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, concrete, etc.).
