This book deals with the design of pulsed coils for the generation of high magnetic fields. The scope is limited to nondestructive coils. The book's pur pose is to provide the designer of a pulsed field facility, the inquisitive stu dent and the scientist with a concise and comprehensive text which describes every aspect of coil design. Special emphasis is laid upon first-order princi pies, which allowan estimation with paper and pencil and are important for an understanding of the basic design principles. These design formulas are then supplemented by numerical calculations and simulations....

Today's rapidly advancing technology always demands materials with more stringent specifications for each new application. The industrial world asks for machines and electronic equipment with higher production rates, improved reliability, longer service life, higher precision, and resistance to more severe service conditions. Engineering ceramics are partly a result of this need and the developments in today's technology and industry. Scientists and manufacturers played a key role in the development of engineering ceramics in the past 50 years. Today, ceramics constitutes one of the most...

Superplasticity is the ability of polycrystalline materials under certain conditions to exhibit extreme tensile elongation in a nearly homogeneous/isotropic manner. Historically, this phenomenon was discovered and systematically studied by metallurgists and physicists. They, along with practising engineers, used materials in the superplastic state for materials forming applications. Metallurgists concluded that they had the necessary information on superplasticity and so theoretical studies focussed mostly on understanding the physical and metallurgi cal properties of superplastic materials....

100 years after the first observation of ripening by Ostwald and 40 years after the first publication of a theory describing this process, this monograph presents, in a self-consistent and comprehensive manner, all the bits and pieces of coarsening theories so that the main issues and the underlying mathematics of self-similar coarsening of dispersed systems can be understood. It contains all of the background material necessary to understand growth and coarsening of spherical particles or droplets in a liquid or solid matrix. Some basic knowledge of heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics and...

The development of cost-effective techniques to produce metal parts with integrated cellular structure is the newly developed process of integral foam molding. This book shows in three parts the technology, the fundamentals and the simulation models for the Integral Foam Molding of Light Metals. Part I: Technology shows for the first time that foaming of metals is possible by applying molding techniques very similar to polymer integral foam molding. It introduces and discusses in detail a low pressure and a high pressure process of foam molding. Part II: Physics is devoted to the...

The application of fracture mechanics to polymers and composites allows the quantitative description of the toughness behaviour by means of fracture mechan- ics parameters and enables preventive failure analysis. In recent years this young scientific discipline has developed rapidly, and now the experimental results are looking for more applications in industrial practice. However, the practical appli- cations of fracture mechanics parameters to structural-integrity assessment are severely restricted owing to their limited transferability from specimens to com- ponents. Indeed,...

Saving in metal, corrosion and wear control of machine parts are the problems of increasing priority. Conventional constructional materials are unable to provide re liability and durability of equipment under conditions of increased working speeds and loads, aggressive medium attacks and elevated temperatures. Solution to these problems involves change in properties of the surface layers of products, in the first instance, by means of depositing functional coatings on machine parts. Rela tive simplicity of the process and. practically unlimited possibilities of varying properties of coatings...
