This book provides the foundations of understanding the physical nature of iron and its alloys. Basics and recent developments concerning its constitution and magnetism are presented as well as its thermal properties.

Many individual technologies have been developed for microwave applications in industries, but this book shows how a modular microwave system line for very homogenous microwave fields is originated. It contains an enormous number of applications.

Adaptive structural systems in conjunction with multifunctional materials facilitate technical solutions with a wide spectrum of applications and a high degree of integration. By virtue of combining the actuation and sensing capabilities of piezoelectric materials with the advantages of fiber composites, the anisotropic constitutive properties may be tailored according to requirements and the failure behavior can be improved. Such adaptive fiber composites are very well-suited for the task of noise and vibration reduction. In this respect the helicopter rotor system represents a very...

The usefulness of the book to the reader is exposure to many different classes of materials and relaxation phenomena. They are tied together by the universal relaxation and diffusion properties they share, and a consistent explanation of their origin. The readers can apply what they learn to solve their own problems and use it as a stepping-stone to make further advances in theoretical understanding of the origin of the universality.

Tensegrity Systems discusses analytical tools to design energy efficient and lightweight structures employing the concept of tensegrity. This word is Buckminister Fuller's contraction of the words Tensile and Integrity, which suggests that integrity or, as we would say, stability of the structure comes from tension. In a tensegrity structure the rigid bodies (the bars) might not have any contact, thus providing extraordinary freedom to control shape, by controlling only tendons. This book will provide both static and dynamic analysis of special tensegrity structural concepts, which are...

Here is an accurate and timely account of micromechanics, which spans materials science, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, technical physics, geophysics, and biology. The book features rigorous and unified theoretical methods of applied mathematics and statistical physics in the material science of microheterogeneous media. Uniquely, it offers a useful demonstration of the systematic and fundamental research of the microstructure of the wide class of heterogeneous materials of natural and synthetic nature.

Glas ist heute als tragendes Konstruktionselement im Bauwesen nicht wegzudenken. Andererseits fehlen technische Regelungen. Eine Lucke, die das Buch schliesst, indem Regeln angegeben werden, die sich bewahrt haben. Gestutzt auf die Kooperation mit Glasherstellern behandeln die Autoren Fragen zum Werkstoff Glas kompetent: Sie stellen Werkstoffeigenschaften und Materialfestigkeiten sowie deren Prufung, verschiedene Glasarten und Tragelemente beim Bauen mit Glas vor und erlautern ingenieurwissenschaftliche Verfahren zur Berechnung und Konstruktion.
