Fracture and Strength of Solids VI
Fracture, Fatigue and Strength are some of the most important properties of engineering materials. -
Advances in Grinding and Abrasive Technology XIII
This work is the result of a careful selection made from more than 300 extensively peer-reviewed papers treating recent advances in the field of abrasive technology. -
Environmental Ecology and Technology of Concrete
This book volume is a collection consists of selected papers from the International Symposium on Ecological Environment and Technology of Concrete (EETC-2005), which was held on the 6th to 8th June 6 - 8, 2005, at Urumchi, XinJiang, China. -
Advanced Powder Technology I
The 1st International Latin-American Conference on Powder Technology, attended by more than 180 participants from eleven nations, was held in Águas de Lindóia, São Paulo, Brazil, November 1997. -
Advances in Fracture and Strength
This volume comprises selected papers from the Asian Pacific Conference for Fracture and Strength (APCFS’04), held on Jeju Island, Korea during the 6th to 8th October, 2004. During this conference, participants from the Asian-Pacific region gathered in order to exchange the latest experimental, theoretical and computational research on the fracture, strength, integrity and reliability of materials and structures. -
Measurement Technology and Intelligent Instruments VI
The requirements of high precision and of high-quality components and devices in meeting the needs of modern industry and society in disciplines such as semiconductors, optics, nanotechnology, MEMS, manufacturing, biomedical and environmental engineering, make measurement technology and intelligent instruments (which sense, measure and report), more important than ever, and essential for the rapid development of information technology. -
Damage Assessment of Structures VI
The study of damage evolution, location and characterisation is an important aspect of the growing area of SHM and is a major theme of the conference. The link between SHM and machine condition-monitoring is emphasised by the substantial contribution, to the proceedings, which concerns the application of damage assessment techniques to rotating machines. In order to analyse efficiently the data–rich information, provided by monitoring and NDE techniques, it is necessary to use advanced signal processing procedures. A significant proportion of the conference is therefore dedicated to signal processing and computational methods. -
Advances in Abrasive Technology VIII
This book presents a wealth of valuable up-to-date information for active researchers and engineers, and will certainly form a solid basis for any future research, in the field of abrasive technology, which is aimed at creating new and practical machine tools, systems and processes, or at identifying new characteristics. -
Fractography of Advanced Ceramics II
The aim of this book is to make an important contribution to the development of new functional and structural ceramic materials which exhibit enhanced performances and have improved lifetimes and reliability, by fostering a better understanding of the mechanisms of their deterioration and failure under various stress conditions and at various operating temperatures. The publication covers the topics of basic failure phenomena; indentation fracture; fracture and fractography of structural, electro- and bio- ceramics; fracture of fiber-reinforced composites; fracture of porous and laminated ceramics; defect - strength and microstructure - fracture toughness relationships; damage mechanisms in nanoceramics; Fracture and fractography of multilayered ceramics and coatings; machining cracks and edge-chipping; and the fracture and fractography of composites and nanocomposites.
