Books by Keyword: Refractory Compound

Description: The 41st volume of International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa contains articles describing the research results in the fields of materials science, mechanical engineering, control, wireless sensor networks, construction materials and technologies, technological processes and materials in the chemical production, freight transportation and structural analysis of production systems. The articles will be useful for many engineers as well as for academic teachers and students majoring in these fields of engineering science.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
This book comprises state-of-the–art reviews written by acknowledged experts who are active in sintering science.
It includes seven invited reviews by authors hailing from five countries: J-M.Chaix (France) discusses quantitative aspects of the microstructures and modeling of sintering; with the technical aspects of image-analysis - including that of nanostructured materials - adding extra value. Z.S. Nikolic (Serbia) provides a theoretical review of the simulation of liquid-phase sintering, particularly under microgravity conditions, and extensively and critically reviews the results reported in the sintering literature. A.L. Lisovsky (Ukraine) opens up the vista of deconsolidation of polycrystalline skeletons in sintered composite materials, and deals with systems having more than one refractory solid phase, and with nanodispersed composite materials. G.S. Upadhyaya ( India) reviews the Samsonov model for the electronic mechanism of sintering, and its relevance; pointing out that, although the model is a qualitative one, it has great utility as a predictive tool and that various case-studies drawn from real multi-phase material systems are a testimony to the value of Samsonov’s model.
