Books by Keyword: Mechanical Properties

Description: The 108 peer-reviewed papers of this volume reflect the latest developments in the field of materials and manufacturing technology; ranging from fundamentals to new technologies and applications. In particular, the papers cover the processing of advanced materials and the characterization of performance in critical applications. This book provides a valuable reference source for researchers in the fields of materials and metallurgical engineering, or manufacturing science and technology, who wish to further their understanding of the processing of materials and the microstructure-mechanical property correlations underlying mechanisms, and to create innovative and practical techniques and processes. It should also be of particular interest to manufacturing engineers.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Powder metallurgy is one of the leading processes used for forming engineering components. The technology, as developed at the beginning of the 20th century, has since advanced significantly from both the materials and energy-conservation points of view. Novel, and automated, equipment has played a significant role in enhancing the growth of the powder metallurgy industry. The present work includes, in addition to the editor’s introductory paper, eleven invited papers from organizations of international repute. In brief, the book presents expert assessments from the major metal-powder and powder-metallurgy equipment-makers in the world. This distinguishes it from other works, which are contributed mainly by academics. The book concentrates on particular topics of interest and does not attempt to be comprehensive.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
These 24 peer-reviewed papers cover a wide range of topics and are grouped into 3 sections: Alloys and Ceramics, Nanomaterials and Synthesis and Properties. They offer a succinct review of the subject matter.

Description: This work addresses the performance of novel metallic hollow-sphere structures (MHSS) in sandwich panels. Numerical finite-element analyses and experimental tests are described.

Description: This system, consisting of compositions lying between the end-members, CdTe and HgTe, constitutes perhaps the third most important semiconductor after Si and GaAs. Its importance stems from the ability to tailor the band-gap precisely between that (1.5eV) of the semiconductor, CdTe, and the zero value of the semi-metal, HgTe; giving, in particular, one of the most versatile infra-red detectors known. The intermediate compositions also benefit from the usual mechanisms which improve the mechanical properties of alloys.

Description: Composite materials are traditionally designed for the mechanical properties, due to their structural applications. However, composite materials are increasingly used in non-structural applications, such as electronic packaging and thermal management. Moreover, structural composite materials that are multifunctional are increasingly needed, due to the demand of smart structures and the importance of weight saving. As a consequence, structural materials that can provide electronic functions are needed. Thus, electronic functions are desirable for both non-structural and structural composite materials.

Description: The investigation of nanocrystalline materials has been an extremely active field during the past two decades as it promises to yield new and exciting properties, which will both test the scientific understanding of the behaviour of materials in general, and offer new scope for applications. While considerable progress has been made in basic understanding, the shift from fundamental science to technological application has been slow, especially with regard to exploitation of the mechanical behaviour of these materials.

Description: Solid ionic conductors have a wide range of applications and new research results are becoming available at an ever increasing rate. The book discusses and reviews our present knowledge in some critical areas. Some of the important papers are given below: Some Highlights:

Description: This book contains a series of lectures given in a Summer School held in Aussois (France) in September 1989. It offers a global perspective on the current state-of-the-art in the rapidly emerging field of metallic multilayered structures.
