High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites 6
Springer 2012; US$ 179.99High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) represent a class of cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking, leading to a high strain prior to failure. The primary objective of this International Workshop was to provide a compendium of up-to-date information... more...
Fatigue of Beta Processed and Beta Heat-treated Titanium Alloys
Springer 2011; US$ 39.99This publication reviews most of the available literature on the fatigue properties of I annealed Ti-6Al-4V and titanium alloys with similar microstructures. The focus is on I processed and I heat-treated alloys because I annealed Ti-6Al-4V has been selected for highly loaded and fatigue-critical structures, including the main wing-carry-through bulkheads... more...
