"Chemical Thermodynamics: The Essentials" offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the fundamental principles and practical applications of thermodynamics in chemical systems. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, this book delves into the energetic underpinnings of chemical reactions and processes. Covering basic principles to advanced topics like phase equilibria and chemical kinetics, each chapter provides clear explanations, illustrative examples, and practical applications. The book adopts a rigorous approach to ensure a solid understanding of the subject matter, systematically presenting complex concepts and emphasizing a strong theoretical foundation. Prac...
The first reference of its kind in the rapidly emerging field of computational approachs to materials research, this is a compendium of perspective-providing and topical articles written to inform students and non-specialists of the current status and capabilities of modelling and simulation. From the standpoint of methodology, the development follows a multiscale approach with emphasis on electronic-structure, atomistic, and mesoscale methods, as well as mathematical analysis and rate processes. Basic models are treated across traditional disciplines, not only in the discussion of methods but also in chapters on crystal defects, microstructure, fluids, polymers and soft matter. Written by a...
To maintain competitiveness in the emerging global economy, U.S. manufacturing must rise to new standards of product quality, responsiveness to customers, and process flexibility. This volume presents a concise and well-organized analysis of new research directions to achieve these goals. Five critical areas receive in-depth analysis of present practices, needed improvement, and research priorities: Advanced engineered materials that offer the prospect of better life-cycle performance and other gains. Equipment reliability and maintenance practices for better returns on capital investment. Rapid product realization techniques to speed delivery to the marketplace. Intelligent manufacturing control for improved reliability and greater precision. Building a workforce with the multidisciplinary skills needed for competitiveness. This sound and accessible analysis will be useful to manufacturing engineers and researchers, business executives, and economic and policy analysts.
Nature-Inspired Sensors presents and discusses the basic principles and latest developments in nature-inspired sensing and biosensing materials as well as the design and mechanisms for analyzing their potential in multifunctional sensing applications.The book starts with a comprehensive review of certain fundamental mechanisms in different living creatures, including humans, animals, and plants. It presents and discusses ways for imitating various nature-inspired structural features and their functional properties, such as hierarchical, interlocked, porous, and bristle-like structures and hetero-layered brick-and-mortar structures.It also highlights the utility of these structures and their ...

This volume is a collection of twenty five written contributions by distinguished invited speakers from seven countries to the IUTAM Symposium on Size Effects on Material and Structural Behavior at Micron- and Nano-scales. Size effects on material and structural behaviors are of great interest to physicists, material scientists, and engineers who need to understand and model the mechanical behavior of solids especially at micron- and nano-scales.
Each number is the catalogue of a specific school or college of the University.
