Books by Keyword: Plasticity

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
From the early industrial revolution, metal working has been the major driving force for the development of many manufacturing technologies. “Advances in Engineering Plasticity” reports on recent developments in the field of metal forming and plasticity research from both the fundamental science and industrial application perspective.

Description: Many important properties of materials are governed by the microstructures which have evolved during their prior treatment. Therefore, the characterisation of structures and the understanding of structural changes has always been a central problem in any discipline which deals with materials.

Description: For more then one century it has been observed that stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion fatigue (CF) corresponds to synergetic effects between corrosion and mechanics. Researchers and engineers have tried to translate such effects through empirical damage laws, in particular to predict crack velocities in metallic materials for the nuclear, aeronautical and chemical industries. Nevertheless the precise nature of these synergetic effects is still difficult to determine and quantify, mainly because of the localization of the damage events.
One of the objective of the current publication is to review in details what is known about these deleterious synergetic effects which lead to SCC and CF. The matter of the book clearly corresponds to an interdisciplinary field. Bases in materials science, corrosion, theory of dislocations and chemistry of surfaces are supposed to be known, even if some elements will be briefly introduced.

Description: Nonequilibrium materials have always been of particular importance in materials science and application since most of the structural materials commonly used are not in the condition of stable equilibrium.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Confirming the fact that the various phenomena related to plasticity of metals and alloys continue to constitute a highly active field of research where many interesting developments are currently taking place, this volume presents 63 articles by well-known experts, on the topics of current interest.

Description: This publication bears witness of a renewal of the studies on dislocations. The texts of the lectures as well as those of the contributions illustrate, indeed, the wide spectrum of the present concerns. The openings towards physics, mechanics, even electrochemistry or geology, the new experimental approaches will certainly benefit to the investigation of new materials and complex situations.
