Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials develops a complete and rigorous state-of-the-art analysis of the modeling of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline (NC) materials. Among other key topics, the material focuses on the novel techniques used to predict the behavior of nanocrystalline materials. Particular attention is given to recent theoretical and computational frameworks combining atomistic and continuum approaches. Also, the most relevant deformation mechanisms governing the response of nanocrystalline materials are addressed and discussed in correlation with available experimental data.
The climate change crisis presents a multi-dimensional challenge to the development of the built environment. With finite global resources and increasingly unpredictable climate patterns, the need to improve our understanding of sustainable practices and materials for construction has never been more pressing. The Handbook of Research on Corrosion Sciences and Engineering aims to shed light on the recent developments in the usage of sustainable materials to protect metallic materials against corrosion and provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of corrosion engineering science and technology. Covering key topics such as machine learning, smart coating, sustainability, and artificial intelligence, this major reference work is ideal for construction workers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Metals are used at an extremely high rate in the industrial and manufacturing fields. Exemplary properties including strength and ductility have made this material highly dynamic; however, the risk of corrosion remains a vital issue. The study of corrosion prevention has attracted interest from researchers and professionals as new technologies are emerging that can assist in the prevention of material destruction. However, research is lacking on the application of these protective technologies within specific fields. New Challenges and Industrial Applications for Corrosion Prevention and Control provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of protective methods against corrosion and the implementation of these techniques within a wide span of professional disciplines. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as molecular modeling, surface treatments, and biomaterials, this book is ideally designed for engineers, industrial chemists, material scientists, researchers, engineers, academicians, practitioners, and students seeking current research on the technological advancements in corrosion protection in various professional scopes.
This book presents the separation principle which is also known as the principle of separation of estimation and control and states that, under certain assumptions, the problem of designing an optimal feedback controller for a stochastic system can be solved by designing an optimal observer for the system's state, which feeds into an optimal deterministic controller for the system. Thus, the problem may be divided into two halves, which simplifies its design. In the context of deterministic linear systems, the first instance of this principle is that if a stable observer and stable state feedback are built for a linear time-invariant system (LTI system hereafter), then the combined observer ...
Phytochemistry in Corrosion Science covers the use of plant extracts/phytochemicals in corrosion mitigation with industrial applications. It explores innovative and characterization approaches toward the utilization of plant extracts and their phytochemicals as potential corrosion inhibitors for several metals and their alloys. Providing a comprehensive overview of the green aspects of plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors, this book discusses the preparation of aqueous and organic phase extracts, and their advantages, disadvantages, and use for different aggressive media. It also examines aqueous and organic extracts that have been successfully used as corrosion inhibitors for various metals and electrolyte combinations. This book will be a useful reference for undergraduate and graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of phytochemistry, corrosion science and engineering, environmental science, chemical engineering, green chemistry, and mechanical/industrial engineering.
This book gathers selected research papers presented at the First International Conference on Digital Technologies and Applications (ICDTA 21), held at Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Fez, Morocco, on 29–30 January 2021. highlighting the latest innovations in digital technologies as: artificial intelligence, Internet of things, embedded systems, network technology, information processing, and their applications in several areas such as hybrid vehicles, renewable energy, robotic, and COVID-19. The respective papers encourage and inspire researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to put these methods into practice.
This book concentrates on both understanding and development of nanocrystalline materials. The original relation that connects grain size and strength, known as the Hall-Petch relation, is studied in the nanometer grain size region. The breakdown of such a relation is a challenge. Why and how to overcome it? Is the dislocation mechanism still operating when the grain size is very small, approaching the amorphous limit? How do we go from the microstructure information to the continuum description of the mechanical properties?
The book presents the results from the Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology Conference (UMH VI) held in September 2011, in Freiberg, Germany.
