Books by Keyword: Fracture

Description: Advanced ceramic tools represent the latest development of cutting tools used for machining and their application has greatly improved productivity.

Description: While iron and steel industries are the major users of refractory materials, applications in other areas such as power plants and waste incinerators are of growing importance. The appropriate use and maximum performance of the refractories cannot be achieved unless their interaction with the service environment is properly understood. The correlations between the microstructure of these materials and their thermochemical as well as thermomechanical properties greatly enhances this understanding.

Description: The volume contains 70 papers presented as invited general lectures and research contributions at the 7th international symposium on Continuum Models of Discrete Systems.
The purpose of the interdisciplinary CMDS-symposia is to bring together scientists working on continuum theories of discrete mechanical and thermodynamical systems in the realm of physics, mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, material science, and engineering, and to join divergent languages, questions and methods developed in the respective disciplines.
