Long-Term Durability of Polymeric Matrix Composites
Springer 2011; US$ 179.99Long-Term Durability of Polymeric Matrix Composites presents a comprehensive knowledge-set of matrix, fiber and interphase behavior under long-term aging conditions, theoretical modeling and experimental methods. This book covers long-term constituent behavior, predictive methodologies, experimental validation and design practice. Readers will also... more...
Functional Metal Oxide Nanostructures
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99Metal oxides and particularly their nanostructures have emerged as animportant class of materials with a rich spectrum of properties and greatpotential for device applications. In this book, contributions from leadingexperts emphasize basic physical properties, synthesis and processing, and thelatest applications in such areas as energy, catalysis... more...
Fluid Effects in Polymers and Polymeric Composites
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99Fluid Effects in Polymers and Polymeric Composites, written by the late Dr. Y. Jack Weitsman, addresses the wide range of parameters that affect the interaction of fluids with polymers and polymeric composites. The book aims at broadening the scope of available data, mostly limited up to this time to weight-gain recordings of fluid ingress into polymers... more...
Crystallization and Growth of Colloidal Nanocrystals
Springer 2011; US$ 39.99Since the size, shape, and microstructure of nanocrystalline materials strongly impact physical and chemical properties, the development of new synthetic routes to nanocrystals with controlled composition and morphology is a key objective of the nanomaterials community. This objective is dependent on control of the nucleation and growth mechanisms... more...
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Infrastructure Applications
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99This book examines current issues of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil infrastructure. The contents of this book are divided into two parts. The first part engages topics related to durability and service life of FRP composites and how they contribute to sustainability. The second part highlights implementation and applications of... more...
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...
Fracture Mechanics
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Fracture mechanics is a vast and growing field. This book develops the basic elements needed for both fracture research and engineering practice. The emphasis is on continuum mechanics models for energy flows and crack-tip stress- and deformation fields in elastic and elastic-plastic materials. In addition to a brief discussion of computational fracture... more...
Continuum Damage Mechanics
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99Recent developments in engineering and technology have brought about serious and enlarged demands for reliability, safety and economy in wide range of fields such as aeronautics, nuclear engineering, civil and structural engineering, automotive and production industry. This, in turn, has caused more interest in damage mechanics and its engineering... more...
