Light Metal Alloys Applications
Lightweight alloys have become of great importance in engineering for construction of transportation equipment. At present, the metals that serve as the base of the principal light alloys are aluminum and magnesium. One of the most important lightweight alloys are the aluminum alloys in use for several applications (structural components wrought aluminum alloys, parts and plates). However, some casting parts that have low cost of production play important role in aircraft parts. Magnesium and its alloys are among the lightest of all metals and the sixth most abundant metal on earth. Magnesium is ductile and the most machinable of all metals. Many of these light weight alloys have appropriately high strength to warrant their use for structural purposes, and as a result of their use, the total weight of transportation equipment has been considerably decreased.
Glass in Architecture from the Pre- to the Post-Industrial Era
Glass is one of the most fascinating and versatile building materials in architectural history. The new insights into glass in architecture are the result of research at the intersection of glass production, construction technology and building culture. Coming from a variety of disciplines, the contributions bridge the divide between natural sciences, humanities and the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage. They explore the crucial role of flat glass in shaping architecture, particularly since the 18th century, and discuss the in-situ restoration of historic windows and glass façades and the importance of preserving this fragile heritage. The topics range from the manufacture o...
Advances in Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors
This book reports on the state of the art in physical ergonomics and is concerned with the design of products, process, services, and work systems to assure their productive, safe, and satisfying use by people. With focus on the human body's responses to physical and physiological work demands, repetitive strain injuries from repetition, vibration, force, and posture are the most common types of issues examined, along with their design implications. The book explores a wide range of topics in physical ergonomics, which includes the consequences of repetitive motion, materials handling, workplace safety, and usability in the use of portable devices, design, working postures, and the work envi...
Réinventer l'Art Sacré
Die als Groupe de Saint-Luc bekannte Künstlergesellschaft hat in der Zwischenkriegszeit ihre Spuren im künstlerischen und kulturellen Erbe der Schweiz hinterlassen, vor allem im französischsprachigen Teil. Basierend auf umfassender Forschung zu den überlieferten Archivquellen bietet die vorliegende Publikation eine Neuinterpretation dieses bedeutenden künstlerischen Phänomens der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, aus einer pluralistischen Perspektive, die Geschichte, Soziologie und Formengeschichte in Kunst und Architektur miteinander verbindet. Ziel ist es, die Groupe de Saint-Luc in einen breiteren europäischen Aktionsrahmen einzubetten, in dem die Themen von Architektur und mode...

China and the West
With contributions from outstanding specialists in glass art and East Asian art history, this edited volume opens a cross-cultural dialogue on the hitherto little-studied medium of Chinese reverse glass painting. The first major survey of this form of East Asian art, the volume traces its long history, its local and global diffusion, and its artistic and technical characteristics. Manufactured for export to Europe and for local consumption within China, the fragile artworks studied in this volume constitute a paramount part of Chinese visual culture and attest to the intensive cultural and artistic exchange between China and the West.
