The Laws of Motion
From soccer kicks to the flight of birds, anthology offers the latest thinking on principles of physics and how they manifest in everyday life.
Soft Interfaces
This volume is an introduction to interfacial phenomena. It collects the lecture notes from a one month Summer school in Les Houches. The courses and the notes are intended to be especially useful for master and PhD students as well as young researchers.
Soft Interfaces
Many of the distinctive and useful phenomena of soft matter come from its interaction with interfaces. Examples are the peeling of a strip of adhesive tape, the coating of a surface, the curling of a fiber via capillary forces, or the collapse of a porous sponge. These interfacial phenomena are distinct from the intrinsic behavior of a soft material like a gel or a microemulsion. Yet many forms of interfacial phenomena can be understood via common principles valid for many forms of soft matter. Our goal in organizing this school was to give students a grasp of these common principles and their many ramifications and possibilities. The Les Houches Summer School comprised over fifty 90-minute lectures over four weeks. Four four-lecture courses by Howard Stone, Michael Cates, David Nelson and L. Mahadevan served as an anchor for the program. A number of shorter courses and seminars rounded out the school. This volume collects the lecture notes of the school.
Multiscale Modelling and Simulation
In August 2003, ETHZ Computational Laboratory (CoLab), together with the Swiss Center for Scientific Computing in Manno and the Universit della Svizzera Italiana (USI), organized the Summer School in "Multiscale Modelling and Simulation" in Lugano, Switzerland. This summer school brought together experts in different disciplines to exchange ideas on how to link methodologies on different scales. Relevant examples of practical interest include: structural analysis of materials, flow through porous media, turbulent transport in high Reynolds number flows, large-scale molecular dynamic simulations, ab-initio physics and chemistry, and a multitude of others. Though multiple scale models are not new, the topic has recently taken on a new sense of urgency. A number of hybrid approaches are now created in which ideas coming from distinct disciplines or modelling approaches are unified to produce new and computationally efficient techniques
Additive Manufacturing of Structural Electronics
Additive manufacturing, also called rapid prototyping or 3D printing is a disruptive manufacturing technique with a significant impact in electronics. With 3D printing, bulk objects with circuitry are embedded in the volume of an element or conformally coated on the surface of existing parts, allowing design and manufacturing of smaller and lighter products with fast customisation. The book covers both materials selection and techniques. The scope also covers the research areas of additive manufacturing of passive and active components, sensors, energy storage, bioelectronics and more.
Run Like You Stole Something
There's more to sporting success than raw talent and the luck of the draw. Explaining the hows and whys of what a spectator sees and a competitor experiences, Justin Kemp and Damian Farrow explain the science behind sports performance. Alongside hardcore data, there are classic anecdotes,fascinating historical facts and bizarre bits of nerdy trivia. Whether your view is from the couch, the stand, or up-close-and-personal on the field, you'll be enlightened and entertained by what really goes on in the wide world of sport. And in case you're wondering, the not-so-scientific run like you stole something' is the authors' favourite footy yell.
Dynamics: Models and Kinetic Methods for Non-equilibrium Many Body Systems
Recent years have witnessed a resurgence in the kinetic approach to dynamic many-body problems. Modern kinetic theory offers a unifying theoretical framework within which a great variety of seemingly unrelated systems can be explored in a coherent way. Kinetic methods are currently being applied in such areas as the dynamics of colloidal suspensions, granular material flow, electron transport in mesoscopic systems, the calculation of Lyapunov exponents and other properties of classical many-body systems characterised by chaotic behaviour. The present work focuses on Brownian motion, dynamical systems, granular flows, and quantum kinetic theory.
Fractography of Glasses and Ceramics V
This volume contains papers presented at The Fifth Conference on the Fractography of Glasses and Ceramics Held in Rochester, New York, July 9-13 2006. Chapters include The Fracture Process at the Crack Tip, Fundamental Phenomena, Fractography of Contact Damage in Glasses and Ceramics, Identifying and Understanding Flaws in Ceramics, Fractography of Dental and Biomaterials, Fractography of Components, and Fracture Phenomena in Geology. This text provides a useful one-stop resource for understanding the most important issues in the research and applications of fractography of glasses and ceramics.
