Shock Waves in Materials Science
In this volume, the shock compression technology of materials is described in parallel with the latest research results and their background. In the past, this type of technology was developed in connection with military techniques by certain particular research organizations. For this reason, researchers of materials in general have had less opportunity to make use of the technology. The conventional technology of shock compression has now been established, and is recognized as being remarkably...
This collection of essays is taken from a conference on mathematical modelling in non-destructive testing, organized by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and held in Cambridge, 1986. The conference was a response to demands on industry to ensure the safety of its manufacturing plant and products which, in turn, has increased the level of serious scientific research into techniques for the non-destructive testing (NDT) of components. The NDT community recognizes that mathematical...
Environmental Deterioration of Materials (Advances in Architecture, #21)
The increasing level of pollution in the environment not only harms the natural world, but also accelerates the deterioration and corrosion of materials used in technical work, as well as objects with historical or artistic value. It is impossible to eliminate the numerous sources of this negative effect, so there are currently increased efforts towards improved preservation, which require a thorough knowledge of the causes of the degradation of individual materials. This book deals with the fun...
From Bulk to Nano (Springer Series in Materials Science, #117)
by Carmen-Gabriela Stefanita
The inspiration for this book can be traced back many years to two major works that in?uenced the author's outlook on applied physics: FerromagnetismusbyR. Becker,W. D oring (Springer, Berlin 1939), and Ferromagnetism by R. M. Bozorth (IEEE Press, New York 1951). The former work is a collection of lectures held in the 1930s for 'technicians' attending a technical college. The German language in which the work was originally written was extremely convenient for the author of this present book, as...
