Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices

Product Description

Nanoscale and nanostructured materials have exhibited different physical properties from the corresponding macroscopic coarse-grained materials due to the size confinement. As a result, there is a need for new techniques to probe the mechanical behavior of advanced materials on the small scales. Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices presents the latest advances in the techniques of mechanical testing on the micro- and nanoscales, which are necessary for characterizing the mechanical properties of low-dimensional materials and structures.

Written by a group of internationally recognized authors, this book covers topics such as:

• Techniques for micro- and nano- mechanical characterization;
• Size effects in the indentation plasticity;
• Characterization of low-dimensional structure including nanobelts and nanotubes;
• Characterization of smart materials, including piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys;
• Analysis and modeling of the deformation of carbon-nanotubes.

Micro and Nano Mechanical Testing of Materials and Devices is a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working in the area of mechanical characterization of advanced materials.

Nanostructured Silicon-based Powders and Composites

Product Description
Nanomaterials are materials with a characteristic length scale (particle diameter, grain size) or less than 100 nanometers. The use of nanoparticles aims to take advantage of their better or even different properties as compared to bulk behaviour (confinement effect, larger surface area to volume ratio). At first nanomaterials were used as catalysts and pigments but now the mechanical, optical, electric and biological properties of silicon based nanostructures and nanostructured ceramics are finding applications at all stages of materials processsing.
nanostrcutured Silicon-Based Powders and Composites will be an invaluable reference for researchers in materials science, ceramics and biomaterials.

Composite Materials in Maritime Structures: Volume 2, Practical Considerations

Product Description
The two volumes that comprise this work provide a comprehensive guide and source book on the marine use of composite materials. The first volume, Fundamental Aspects, provides a rigorous development of theory. Areas covered include materials science, environmental aspects, production technology, structural analysis, finite-element methods, materials failure mechanisms and the role of standard test procedures. An appendix gives tables of the mechanical properties of common polymeric composites and laminates in marine use. The second volume, Practical Considerations, examines how the theory can be used in the design and construction of marine structures, including boats, submersibles, offshore structures and other deep-ocean installations.

Plasticity, Failure and Fatigue in Structural Materials – From Macro to Nano: Proceedings of the Hael Mughrabi Honorary Symposium

Product Description
This book contains papers from the symposium held to honor Professor Hael Mughrabi, who devoted 40 years of research to the mechanical behavior of materials. In particular, Professor Mughrabi performed fundamental studies on the mechanisms of plastic deformation and fatigue based on dislocation mechanics. Readers of this book will find research development in deformation and fatigue including very high cycle fatigue of advanced engineering materials. Particular emphasis is given to mechanical properties of nanomaterials, and to the behavior and processes at the nanoscale in engineering materials. Specific subjects include deformation and fracture mechanisms; single crystals; mathematical modeling; cyclic, static and dynamic loading; and damage evolution.
