The subject of mechanical behavior has been in the front line of basic studies in engineering curricula for many years. This textbook was written for engineering students with the aim of presenting, in a relatively simple manner, the basic concepts of mechanical behavior in solid materials. A second aim of the book is to guide students in their laboratory experiments by helping them to understand their observations in parallel with the lectures of their various courses; therefore the first chapter of the book is devoted to mechanical testing. Another aim of the book is to provide...

This text is an introduction to the physics of collisional plasmas, as opposed to plasmas in space. It is intended for graduate students in physics and engineering . The first chapter introduces with progressively increasing detail, the fundamental concepts of plasma physic. The motion of individual charged particles in various configurations of electric and magnetic fields is detailed in the second chapter while the third chapter considers the collective motion of the plasma particles described according to a hydrodynamic model. The fourth chapter is most original in that it introduces a...

Der Wechsel von Pergament zu Papier gilt der Forschung als unabdingbare Voraussetzung fur den rapiden Anstieg an Schriftlichkeit im spatmittelalterlichen Europa. Der erste Teil des Bandes ruckt die mittelalterliche Papierproduktion am Beispiel der Muhlenreviere in Norditalien, Sudwestdeutschland und Belgien ins Zentrum. Der zweite Teil thematisiert die Durchsetzung des Papiergebrauchs gegen das altere Pergament in Administration und Buchkultur.

The clamor for non-carbon dioxide emitting energy production has directly impacted on the development of nuclear energy. As new nuclear plants are built, plans and designs are continually being developed to manage the range of challenging requirement and problems that nuclear plants face especially when managing the greatly increased operating temperatures, irradiation doses and extended design life spans. "Materials for Nuclear Plants: From Safe Design to Residual Life Assessments "provides a comprehensive treatment of the structural materials for nuclear power plants with emphasis on...

Presenting new material, this book takes into account the influence of metal quality,...

"Applications of Wet-end Paper Chemistry" bridges the gap between the theory and practice of wet-end paper chemistry by explaining how particular chemicals are chosen and put to use in real situations. A number of international experts in the field present recent contributions on the optimum use of chemicals in papermaking.

Major inroads have taken place since the first edition of this title was published in 1995. This new edition of "Applications of Wet-end Paper Chemistry" will reflect the changing type and use of chemicals used in papermaking in the 21^st century.

This book is truly unique in that it is the only one that traces all the important organic and inorganic synthesis routes for the manufacture of synthetic rubbers, various fillers, plasticizers,...
