Mechanical engineering and materials

Meta-Nanotubes are a new generation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which result from the chemical transformation of regular CNTs and their subsequent combination with foreign materials (atoms, molecules, chemical groups, nanocrystals) by various ways such as functionalisation, doping, filling, and substitution.

The subject of computational plasticity encapsulates the numerical methods used for the finite element simulation of the behaviour of a wide range of engineering materials considered to be plastic i.

With emphasis on practical aspects of engineering, this bestseller has gained worldwide recognition through progressive editions as the essential reliability textbook.

Vehicle Powertrain Systems The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components.
