This is an engineering reference book on hybrid vehicle system analysis and design, an outgrowth of the author's substantial work in research, development and production at the National Research Council Canada, Azure Dynamics and now General Motors.
This proceedings investigates the relationship between features at the atomic level including oxygen vacancies, stacking faults and site order/disorder, grain boundaries, film-substrate interactions, buffer-superconductor interactions, thermodynamic, transport, and other macroscopic properties.
This proceedings offers information for those interested in the fundamental aspects of ceramic surface and interfacial phenomenon such as wetting, adhesion, chemical reactivity, and structure-property relationships, and the influence of these factors on the nature of bonding/joining of ceramic materials.
These proceedings are designed to provide a forum that integrates research in characterization and modeling to advance the science of ceramic/composite sintering.
Indentation techniques have become widely used in the characterization of brittle solids due to their simplicity, cost effectiveness, rapidness, and maybe most importantly, the indenter itself can be used as a mechanical microprobe in thin films, interfaces, grain boundaries, and nanocomposites.
In today's world of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it is critical to identify and adequately address environmental issues in the ceramic industry to ensure success.
The latest developments in ceramic and glass processing and characterization are covered including solution method and nanocrystalline powders, polymer precursor and sol-gel technology, microwave processing, novel processing methods, functionally graded materials, laminated object manufacturing, thin films and coatings, synthesis and characterization, diamond films, electrophoresis, and processing-microstructure-property relationships.
The number of ceramic materials with a perovskite type structure is large and of considerable technological importance due to their rich crystal chemistry and structure-property relationships.
This proceedings includes papers on ceramics and glasses used in biomedical, dental and biological applications, including biomimetics and natural bioceramic materials.
Ceramic matrix composites are likely candidates for high-temperature structural applications in industries such as aerospace, utilities, and transportation.
