Books by Keyword: Mechanical Spectroscopy

Description: This special issue presents articles reflecting results of research and engineering achievements in the field of development of new and analysis of existing applied methods and means for measurements and testing in the area of materials science. The publication also includes articles dedicated to industrial engineering and operation research issues, assessments of critical process parameters, data analysis, quality prediction, etc. The special edition will be interesting and useful to specialists in materials science as well as in organization and engineering support of industrial production.

Description: This special issue of Defect and Diffusion Forum contains selected refereed papers which were presented at the 7th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (DSL-2011) held on the 26 to 30th June 2011 at the Hilton Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal. The goal of the conference was to provide a unique opportunity to exchange information, to present the latest results and review burning issues in contemporary diffusion research. Young scientists were especially encouraged to attend the conference and to establish international links with established scientists.

Description: The peer-reviewed papers in this special issue of Solid State Phenomena were selected from the 16th International Conference on Internal Friction and Mechanical Spectroscopy, ICIFMS-16, held on July 3 – 8, 2011, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The proceedings aimed at attracting newcomers to this field of research in order to appreciate the potential of anelastic methodologies in the investigation of advanced materials and new phenomena. Scientists who are already involved in the field will also find here ideas and inspiration for new experiments and theories.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The principal purpose of assembling this special volume was to create a truly international body of peer-reviewed contributions on “Interaction between defects and anelastic phenomena in solids”.

Description: This work bridges the gaps between mechanical spectroscopy, internal friction, relaxation phenomena in solids and the spectroscopic approach to the dissipation of mechanical energy in solids.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
A limited number of papers are selected from different fields in order to compare the analysis of similar relaxation phenomena occurring in various materials.

This book comprises the proceedings of the Second International School on Mechanical Spectroscopy; presented here as invited lectures (Part I) and contributed papers (Part II). After having originated merely as a technique for the study of internal friction, mechanical spectroscopy has developed strongly, during the past decade, into a tool which is now indispensable for making advances in the creation of new materials. This book will therefore provide an excellent reference source for every researcher working in the field.

Description: In addition to the usual abstracts of research reported since the previous retrospective, this issue comprises ten invited papers. The first four are reviews that cover the important topics of conductive oxide preparation, the modeling of amorphous materials (silicon carbide, for example), the nanoscale characterization of oxides and the effect of combined irradiation treatments.
The other six invited papers present recent experimental or theoretical studies of structural defects in gallium nitride, atomic-scale deformation processes in nanomaterials, micropipes in silicon carbide, radiation effects in garnets and boron diffusion in hafnia.

Description: This issue covers, in the form of abstracts, the work which has been reported between the previous retrospective and the end of 2001. The choice of abstracts is guided by criteria such as accessibility, data content and description of important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies. But there is also a thorough coverage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, computer modelling and theory. The volume also includes, as usual, a number of invited review and experimental papers which treat a wide range of topics in the field.
The more theoretical review papers presented here cover the modelling of intergranular segregation and diffusion in alloys, as well as the impact of electron theory. The more practical aspects of diffusion are described by reviews concerning interdiffusion in coatings and long-term thermomechanical behaviour.

Description: Mechanical spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that is very well suited for studying the dynamics of singularities such as structural defects in solids. It has been successfully applied in solid state physics and materials science for more than fifty years, and the present textbook aims at summarising the state-of-the-art in this field by presenting recent results obtained in Western European laboratories. The contents are divided into nine chapters. Introduction to mechanical spectroscopy (Ch.1) is based on a complete description of the elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic behaviours of solids. The anelastic response is analysed from three different viewpoints: phenomenology, rheology and thermodynamics.

Description: 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.
