Risse in Bauteilen begrenzen die Nutzungs- und die Lebensdauer von Bauteilen. Der Autor vermittelt, wie diese Grenzen zu erkennen sind, und wie das Rissverhalten zu bewerten ist.
Bei der Dimensionierung von Bauteilen und beim Nachweis ihrer Haltbarkeit auf der Grundlage der Festigkeitslehre wird das Vorhandensein rissartiger Schadigungen ublicherweise nicht durch geminderte zulassigen Spannungen berucksichtigt. Im praktischen Betrieb werden rissgeschadigte Bauteile durch zerstorungsfreie Prufungen uberwacht.
Aus eigener praktischer Tatigkeit bei der Untersuchung von Schadensfallen...

This book addresses a tightly knit cluster of questions in the philosophy of mind. There is the question: Are mental properties identical with physical properties? An affirmative answer would seem to secure the truth of physicalism regarding the mind, i.e., the belief that all mental phenomena obtain solely in virtue of physical phenomena. If the answer is negative, then the question arises: Can this solely in virtue of relation be understood as some kind of dependence short of identity? And answering this requires answering two further questions. Exactly what sort of...

Particle formation with supercritical fluids is a promising alternative to conventional precipitation processes as it allows the reduction of particle size and control of morphology and particle size distribution without degradation or contamination of the product. The book comprehensively examines the current status of research and development and provides perspectives and insights on promising future directions.

The introduction to high pressure and high temperature phase equilibria and nucleation phenomena provides the basic principles of the underlying physical and chemical...

Current energy consumption mainly depends on fossil fuels that are limited and can cause environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. These factors have stimulated the search for alternate, clean, and renewable energy sources. Solar cells are some of the most promising clean and readily available energy sources. Plus, the successful utilization of solar energy can help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. Recently, organic solar cells have gained extensive attention as a next-generation photovoltaic technology due to their light weight, mechanical...

This book analyzes scientific problems within the history of physics, engineering, chemistry, astronomy and medicine, correlated with technological applications in the social context. When and how is tension between disciplines explicitly practised? What is the conceptual bridge between science researches and the organization of technological researches in the development of industrial applications?

The authors explain various ways in which the sciences allowed advanced modelling on the one hand, and the development of new technological ideas on the other hand. An emphasis on...

This is the first full-scale biography of Leonhard Euler (1707-83), one of the greatest mathematicians and theoretical physicists of all time. In this comprehensive and authoritative account, Ronald Calinger connects the story of Euler's eventful life to the astonishing achievements that place him in the company of Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss. Drawing chiefly on Euler's massive published works and correspondence, which fill more than eighty volumes so far, this biography sets Euler's work in its multilayered context--personal, intellectual, institutional, political, cultural, religious,...

Die Magnetpulverprufung ist ein zerstorungsfreies Verfahren zur Prufung von metallischen und nichtmetallischen Werkstoffen auf Oberflachenfehler. Das Buch behandelt die physikalischen und die verfahrensspezifischen Grundlagen, die Magnetisierung und Entmagnetisierung, Prufmittel, die Prufsystem- und Verfahrenskontrollen, die Gerate-, Pruf- und Auswertetechniken der Magnetpulverprufung, die Unganzen im Fertigungsprozess und bei der Betriebsbeanspruchung sowie die Durchfuhrung von Magnetpulverprufungen. Weitere Themen sind die Klassifizierung und Beurteilung von Anzeigen, die Grenzen des...

With the recent development of new experimental approaches and methodologies, it is becoming clear that cells and tissues are not regulated by biochemical signals alone. Indeed, physical cues arising in the biological microenvironment are directly coupled to the biochemical regulation of living systems. This book provides a broad overview of how mechanical forces and properties govern diverse aspects of physiological and pathological processes. It also covers new emerging techniques developed to study complex biosystems such as microfluidics, traction force microscopy, and the development...
