Testing of materials

19 plenary lectures and 203 poster papers presented at the 10th International Conference of Fourier Transform Spectroscopy in Budapest 1995 give an overview on the state-of-the art of this technology and its wide range of applications.

The articles in this book summarize the work presented at the final workshop of the COST (European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research) Action on Molecular Materials and Functional Polymers for Advanced Devices, which was held in June 2000 in Patras, Greece.

Electroactive materials are playing an ever increasing role in science and technology.

Most organic molecules retain their integrity when dissolved, and even though in such cases the effects exerted by solvents are, in the language of the coordination chemist, of the "e;outer sphere"e; kind, the choice of solvent can be critical to the successful outcome of an operation or preparation.

This book consists of two chapters.

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) procedures are needed for materials processing, as well as for post-process materials testing.

The 11th Colloquium on Metallurgical Analysis - a joint venture of the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Technical University in Vienna, the Austrian Society for Analytical Chemistry and Microchemistry, the German Metals Society (DGM), and the Society of German Iron and Steel Engineers (VDEh) - was attended by 120 scientists from 12 nations.

This book provides an up-to-date knowledge on theory and experimental results of rate-dependent fracture processes in metallic materials.

The subject of the book is the design of aluminium alloys structures.

A synthetic presentation of the theory of yield design is illustrated by examples such as the stability analysis of reinforced soil structures and the resistance of long fiber reinforced composite materials.

All materials contain numerous defects, such as microcracks, microvoids, inhomogeneities, dislocations, etc.

Aim of this book is to present to researchers and engineers a description of the present knowledge on the viscoplasticity of geomaterials, considering the experimental and theoretical aspects and the applications to relevant problems.

The book gives a comprehensive view of the present ability to take into account the microstructure and texture evolution in building up engineering models of the plastic behaviour of polycrystalline materials at large strains.

This book presents the most recent progress of fundamental nature made in the new developed field of micromechanics: transformation field analysis, variational bounds for nonlinear composites, higher-order gradients in micromechanical damage models, dynamics of composites, pattern based variational bounds.

The book is mainly devoted to the thermomechanical behavior of materials during solid-solid phase transformations.

Modern continuum mechanics is the topic of this book.

The book covers selected problems in free surface flows.

The book describes behavior of materials (ductile, brittle and composites) under impact loadings and high strain rates.

The book presents the latest findings in experimental plasticity, crystal plasticity, phase transitions, advanced mathematical modeling of finite plasticity and multi-scale modeling.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.

The papers in this volume present basic concepts and new developments in failure and damage analysis with focus on advanced materials such as composites, laminates, sandwiches and foams, and also new metallic materials.

Travelling wave processes and wave motion are of great importance in many areas of mechanics, and nonlinearity also plays a decisive role there.

This book is devoted to the high-cycle fatigue behaviour of metal components, thus covering essential needs of current industrial design.

The principal objective of this book is to relate the random distributions of defects and material strength on the microscopic scale with the deformation and residual strength of materials on the macroscopic scale.

This textbook gives a concise survey of constitutive and structural modeling for high temperature creep, damage, low - cycle fatigue and other inelastic conditions.

Failure prevention, residual life assessment and life extension of materials in components operating at high temperatures are becoming increasingly important problems in the modern power plant industry.

This book presents a complete and comprehensive analysis of the behaviour of granular materials including the description of experimental results, the different ways to define the global behaviour from local phenomena at the particle scale, the various modellings which can be used for a D.

This book collects recent theoretical developments in the area of material instability in elastic and plastic solids along with related analytical and numerical methods and applications.
