Wear of Advanced Materials

Davim, Paulo (ed.) — 30 Jan 2012 08:18:41 +0100

This book aims to provide information on recent advances into the wear of advanced materials. In general, wear is currently defined as the progressive loss of material from the operating surface of a body occurring as a result of relative motion at the surface. It is related to surface interactions and more specifically to the form of contact due to relative motion. Wear is rarely catastrophic but does reduce the operating efficiency of machine components and structures. At this time of economic crisis, this is a very important field of study because of the huge impact the wear of materials has on the economy. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of examples illustrating the state of the art and research developments into the wear of advanced materials in several applications. It can be used as a research book for a final undergraduate engineering course (for example into materials, mechanics, etc.) or as the focus of the effect of wear on advanced materials at a postgraduate level. It can also serve as a useful reference for academics, biomaterials researchers, mechanical and materials engineers, and professionals in related spheres working with tribology and advanced materials.

Carbon Nanotubes and Nanosensors

Elishakoff, I. — 30 Jan 2012 08:18:40 +0100

The main properties that make carbon nanotubes (CNTs) a promising technology for many future applications are: extremely high strength, low mass density, linear elastic behavior, almost perfect geometrical structure, and nanometer scale structure. Also, CNTs can conduct electricity better than copper and transmit heat better than diamonds. Therefore, they are bound to find a wide, and possibly revolutionary use in all fields of engineering. The interest in CNTs and their potential use in a wide range of commercial applications; such as nanoelectronics, quantum wire interconnects, field emission devices, composites, chemical sensors, biosensors, detectors, etc.; have rapidly increased in the last two decades. However, the performance of any CNT-based nanostructure is dependent on the mechanical properties of constituent CNTs. Therefore, it is crucial to know the mechanical behavior of individual CNTs such as their vibration frequencies, buckling loads, and deformations under different loadings. This title is dedicated to the vibration, buckling and impact behavior of CNTs, along with theory for carbon nanosensors, like the Bubnov-Galerkin and the Petrov-Galerkin methods, the Bresse-Timoshenko and the Donnell shell theory.

This is presented in a concise yet comprehensive manner and each section is prepared such that they can be read independently of each other, and all equations are presented using the most commonly used units. Greater emphasis has been placed on spectral understanding/interpretation. For completeness sake, a description of commonly used instrumentation is also presented. Finally, some complementary surface analytical techniques and associated concepts are reviewed for comparative purposes in stand-alone appendix sections. [264 Seiten, Hardcover]

Ultrasonic Inspection Technology Development and Search Unit Design Examples of Practical Applications

Brook, Mark V. — 9 Jan 2012 08:17:36 +0100

Ultrasonic testing is a relatively new branch of science and industry. The fundamentals of this method were borrowed, initially, from basic physics, geometrical and wave optics, acoustics and seismology. It has become clear that some of these theories and calculation methods could not always explain the phenomena observed using ultrasonic testing. This book clarifies the theoretical differences of ultrasonics from the other wave propagation theories, presenting both the basics of the physics of wave propagation, elementary mathematics, and advanced practical applications. Includes actual experimental data and examples of calculations for almost every technique. A must for ultrasonic testing engineers, nondestructive testing specialists, and material and structural engineers. [320 Seiten, Hardcover]
