Recrystallization and grain growth are fundamental aspects of microstructure evolution during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. These static and dynamic phenomena are of major scientific interest and of great importance in a wide range of industrial processes and applications. This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.

Description: This collection of 37 papers describes materials for protecting civilians and soldiers against vehicle collision, blast-damage, fragmentation and unconventional attack. They also treat multi-functional materials for enhancing civilian and soldier performance under extreme conditions. The detailed topics include the atomic-layer deposition of thin inorganic coatings into renewable packaging materials, the development of woven enhanced silk fabric for ballistic protection, novel piezo-electric tactile sensor materials having improved properties, enhancement of the char resistance of expandable graphite-based intrumescent fire-retardant coatings by using multi-wall carbon nano tubes for structural steel, the development of new sol-gel surface-treatment formulations for the bonded repair of aircraft and the laminated microstructure and toughening mechanism of abalone shell.

This book brings together 249 peer-reviewed papers on Mechatronics and Intelligent Materials in order to promote the development of those fields by strengthening international academic cooperation and communications, and by exchanging research ideas. It provides readers with a broad overview of the latest advances in the fields of mechatronics and intelligent materials and will be essential reading for those working in those areas.

This topical volume includes ten invited papers that cover selected areas of the field of solid phase transformations.

Description: Recrystallization and grain-growth, together with phase transformations, are the fundamental processes of microstructural evolution which occur during the thermomechanical treatment of engineering materials.

Description: The diffusion of atoms is an inherent feature of matter, and the rules which describe the phenomenon are important from both the purely practical and the theoretical perspectives: it is a major rate-controlling process in phase transformations, crystal growth, recrystallization and recovery, creep, sintering, surface treatment and many other situations. Being typically a non-equilibrium macroscopic phenomenon, diffusion can be properly described in terms of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. At the same time, phenomenological diffusion characteristics represent the mean values of microscopic parameters and reflect the microscopic structure of matter. In the latter case, they contribute to providing a deeper understanding of the physical background to the observed behavior of matter in general.

Description: These volumes contain the contributions presented at DIMAT 2004: the Sixth International Conference on Diffusion in Materials, held in Cracow, under the Patronage of the AGH University of Science and Technology, the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Cracow University of Technology.

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: “Dislocation Theory” covers the research into this fascinating field which was reported in the period: 1995-1999. The coverage is limited to purely theoretical work; more practical aspects having certainly been covered by the relevant DDF volumes during that period. As indicated above, the widest possible range of dislocation phenomena has been included; with the exception of liquid crystal defects. But the coverage also includes that close relative of the dislocation; the disclination.
