Plastic Deformation in Nanocrystalline Materials

Product Description

The purpose of this book is to serve as both an introductory course on the nanomechanics of deformed nanostructures and as a monograph providing a systematic overview of the current state of the art concerning the structure and deformation behavior of nanocrystalline materials. It is primarily concerned with up-to-date theoretical concepts and key experimental data on defects and plastic deformation processes in nanocrystalline matter. This book focuses on a very hot topic within materials science, and one that is both of great fundamental interest and of crucial importance for a wide range of nanotechnologies that rely on the unique mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials.

MEMS: Introduction and Fundamentals

Product Description
As our knowledge of MEMS continues to grow, so does The MEMS Handbook. The field has changed so much that this Second Edition is now available in three volumes. Individually, each volume provides focused, authoritative treatment of specific areas of interest. Together, they comprise the most comprehensive collection of MEMS knowledge available, packaged in an attractive slipcase and offered at a substantial savings. This best-selling handbook is now more convenient than ever, and its coverage is unparalleled.

The first of three volumes, MEMS: Introduction and Fundamentals covers the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the field, emphasizing the physical phenomena that dominate at the micro-scale. It also explores the mechanical properties of MEMS materials, modeling and simulation of MEMS, control theory, and bubble/drop transport in microchannels. Chapters were updated where necessary, and the book also includes two new chapters on microscale hydrodynamics and lattice Boltzmann simulations. This volume builds a strong foundation for further study and work in the MEMS field. MEMS: Introduction and Fundamentals comprises contributions from the foremost experts in their respective specialties from around the world. Acclaimed author and expert Mohamed Gad-el-Hak has again raised the bar to set a new standard for excellence and authority in the fledgling fields of MEMS and nanotechnology.

Nanocrystalline Materials: Their Synthesis-Structure-Property Relationships and Applications

Product Description
Nanocrystalline materials with new functionalities show great promise for use in industrial applications – such as reinforcing fillers in novel polymer composites – and substantial progress has been made in the past decade in their synthesis and processing. However, there are several issues that need to be addressed to develop these materials further. Among these, exploration of novel methods for the large-scale synthesis of low cost self-assembled nanostructures is a challenging research topic. Accordingly, there has emerged a demand to study their synthesis-structure-property relationships in order to understand the fundamental concepts underlying the observed physical and mechanical properties.

With contributions from leading experts, this book describes the fundamental theories and concepts that illustrate the complexity of the problem in developing novel nanocrystalline materials. It reviews the most up-to-date progress in the synthesis, microstructural characterization, physical and mechanical behavior, and application of nanomaterials.

* Investigates the synthesis, characterisation and properties of a huge variety of nanocrystalline materials, and their applications in industry
* Keeps the prominent challenges in nanomaterials fabrication at the forefront while offering the most up-to-date scientific findings
