  • Publisher: WIT Press

With the aim to facilitate the dissemination of research from both academia and the industrial community, presented works from the 10th International Conference on Computational Methods and Experiments in Material and Contact Characterisation are included in this book. These papers discuss the latest developments in this rapidly advancing field. The demand for high-quality production for both industry and consumers has led to rapid developments in materials science and engineering. This requires the characterisation of the properties of the materials. Of particular interest to industry and society are the knowledge of the surface treatment and contact mechanics of these materials to determin...

Les scientifiques célèbres en mathématiques et sciences physiques

Présenté sous la forme de 30 articles classés par ordre alphabétique et détaillant les apports de plus d’une centaine de scientifiques, l’ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants en sciences et à leurs enseignants, aux ingénieurs et à toutes les personnes s’intéressant à la vie et aux travaux des mathématiciens et physiciens qui, de l’Antiquité à nos jours, ont édifié les sciences sur lesquelles est bâtie notre civilisation technologique. Le chapitre I est dédié à 5 « pionniers » ayant vécu de l’Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Age. Le chapitre II est consacré à 16 « savants » des 4 grands siècles (du XVIe à la fin du XIXe siècle) qui voient l’essor des scienc...

  • Publisher: WIT Press

The use of novel materials and new structural concepts nowadays is not restricted to highly technical areas like aerospace, aeronautical applications or the automotive industry, but affects all engineering fields including those such as civil engineering and architecture. The included contributions highlight the latest developments in design and manufacturing. Most high-performance structures require the development of a generation of new materials, which can more easily resist a range of external stimuli or react in a non-conventional manner. Particular emphasis is placed on intelligent structures and materials as well as the application of computational methods for their modelling, control...

Matériaux - De l’élaboration à l’utilisation des matériaux - Caractéristiques, obtention, emplois

Présenté sous la forme originale d’articles variés classés par ordre alphabétique, l’ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants scientifiques ainsi qu’aux enseignants, ingénieurs et toutes personnes s’intéressant aux matériaux qui nous entourent. Il présente un panorama diversifié sur ces matériaux, leurs propriétés et leur exploitation. Une première partie présente, pour 32 matériaux ou familles de matériaux (alliages, polymères, semi-conducteurs...) un bref historique, leurs principales propriétés mécaniques et caractéristiques, ainsi que quelques anecdotes instructives. La deuxième partie traite des diverses propriétés d’usage des matériaux (dureté, usure, valorisation…) et de leur exploitation pratique dans des domaines variés. Les problèmes environnementaux et sociétaux sont également évoqués. La troisième partie est consacrée aux procédés de mise en œuvre pour l’obtention, le traitement et la transformation de ces matériaux en objets utiles.

L'évolution des outils dans l'histoire des sciences physiques

Cet ouvrage est dédié à l'évolution des moyens d’étude et aux outils d’analyse utilisés dans les sciences physiques de l'antiquité à nos jours. Structuré autour de 5 chapitres il présente : la mesure de grandeurs physiques indissociables de notre monde (comment mesurer le temps mais aussi la température et la masse par exemple) ;les instruments permettant l’imagerie et l’analyse topographique des surfaces, des outils utilisant pour certains des principes physiques découverts durant le Moyen-Âge (la microscopie optique par exemple) et qui ont connu l’apogée de leur développement au XXe siècle (microscopie électronique ou à champ proche) ;les techniques d’analyse ...

Architecture is very multi-disciplinary, attracting many different professions. This is reflected in the contributions contained in this volume that were originally presented at the 9th International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature. The included works review the challenges and new opportunities of contemporary architecture as a result of advances in design and new building technologies, as well as the development of new materials. Never before in history have architects and engineers had such a range of new processes and products open to them. In spite of that, the construction industry lags behind all others in taking advantage of a wide variety of new technologi...
