Engineering structures for reliable function and safety have to be designed such that operational mechanical loads are compensated for by stresses in the components bearable by the materials used.
Structural safety of industrial systems and components raises a steadily growing public, scientific and engineering interest, and causes permanent development of methods and techniques used for its assessment.
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in copper- based oxides is an event of major importance not only with respect to the physical phenomenon itself but also because it definitely shows that solid state chemistry, and especially the crystal chemistry of oxides, has a crucial place in the synthesis and understanding of new materials for future appli- cations.
Internationally recognized experts in the field of holographic interferometric testing, X-ray testing, and structural analysis by finite element techniques have come together in ESPRIT project 898 to develop a system that integrates these techniques.
This volume is the proceedings of the Hiroshima Symposium on Elementary Excitations in Quantum Fluids, which was held on August 17 and 18, 1987, in Hiroshima, Japan, and was attended by thirty-two scientists from seven countries.
A special survey of the extensive field of Constitutive Laws is given in 11 lectures, divided into three parts: Thermodynamics of Materials, Stochastic Processes and Material Behaviour, Constitutive Relations for Simple Fluids and Microphysics of Solids.
Almost fifteen years have now elapsed since the first observations of per- sistent spectral hole-burning in inhomogeneously broadened absorption lines in solids.
More than 30 years after the discovery of transition metals and organometal- lics as catalysts for olefin polymerization these catalysts did not have lost their fascination.
Durch Reibung und Verschleiß entstehen in der Industrie erhebliche Verluste, die mit über 39 Milliarden DM pro Jahr in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland abgeschätzt werden.
Vibronic interaction effects constitute a new field of investigation in the physics and chemistry of molecules and crystals that combines all the phenomena and laws originating from the mixing of different electronic states by nuclear displacements.
It is the objective of the series IIMaterials Research and Engineeringll to publish information on technical facts and pro- cesses together with specific scientific models and theories.
The atomic arrangements in condensed matter play an ever increasing role in many areas of science and technology - Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Biology and Electrical, Civil, Mechanidtl and Chemical Engineering.
The development of the modern theory of metals and alloys has coincided with great advances in quantum-mechanical many-body theory, in electronic structure calculations, in theories of lattice dynamics and of the configura- tional thermodynamics of crystals, in liquid-state theory, and in the theory of phase transformations.
The IUTAM Symposium on Macro- and Micro-Mechanics of High Velocity Deformation and Fracture (MMMHVDF) (August 12 - 15, 1985) was held at Science Council of Japan, under the sponsor- ship of IUTAM, Science Council of Japan, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, The Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition (1970), and The Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences.
Surface crystallography plays the same fundamental role in surface science which bulk crystallography has played so successfully in solid-state physics and chemistry.
This volume contains papers presented at the Fifth Taniguchi Symposium on the Theory of Condensed Matter, which was held between 2-5 November, 1982, at Shimoda, Japan.
With the advent of X-ray diffraction and crystal structure determination in 1912 researchers in physics and chemistry began investigating the problem of crystal co- hesion, i.
From its early beginning before the war, the field of semiconductors has developped as a classical example where the standard approximations of 'band theory' can be safely used to study its interesting electronic properties.
It is now ten years since it was first convincingly shown that below 1 K the ther- mal conductivity and the heat capacity of amorphous solids behave in a way which is strikingly different to that of crystalline solids.
Inelastic neutron scattering is a well established and important technique for studying the dynamical properties of condensed matter at the atomic level.
This volume summarizes the papers presented at the First Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS'93 on "e;Ordering in Macromolecular Systems"e;, which was held at Senri Life Science Center, Osaka, Japan, on June 3 through June 6, 1993.
In this text experts review experimental studies thatdirectly reveal the relationship between the atomicstructure and physical behavior of high-Tc superconductors.
The 30 contributions of this volume cover the main European regions for oil and gas exploration: the North Sea and adjacent areas, the central and eastern Mediterranean including offshore Albania, central and eastern Europe including Poland, Hungary, the Russian platform and offshore Bulgaria.
