Mechanics of Solid Interfaces
The growing occurrence of heterogeneous materials such as composites or coated substrates in structural parts makes it necessary for designers and scientists to deal with the specific features of the mechanical behavior of solid interfaces. This book introduces basic concepts on mechanical problems related to the presence of solid/solid interfaces and their practical applications. The various topics discussed here are the mechanical characterization of interfaces, the initiation and growth of cracks along interfaces, the origin and control of interface adhesion, focusing in particular on thin films on substrate systems. It is designed and structured to provide a solid background in the mechanics of heterogeneous materials to help students in materials science, as well as scientists and engineers.
Mécanique des interfaces solides
Cet ouvrage rassemble différentes contributions autour des problèmes de mécanique posés par les interfaces solide/solide. Que ce soit dans les matériaux traditionnels (alliages polyphasés, composites) ou dans les nouvelles technologies (couches minces, nano- et micro-dispositifs) les interfaces sont omniprésentes et conditionnent souvent le fonctionnement optimal de ces structures multi-constituées. Les différents aspects abordés ont pour objectif d'apporter les notions de base nécessaires à l'étude et à la compréhension des états de déformation et de contrainte au voisinage des interfaces dans les matériaux hétérogènes et leurs conséquences pratiques. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux ingénieurs confrontés à des problèmes spécifiques dus aux effets d'hétérogénéités ainsi qu'aux chercheurs scientifiques abordant les problèmes fondamentaux liés à l'influence d'une interface sur le comportement mécanique d'un élément de matière hétérogène. Il pourra également être utile aux étudiants d'école d'ingénieur, de master et de doctorat en physique de la matière condensée ou en science et génie des matériaux.
10th ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming
This book contains papers presented at the 10th Annual ESAFORM Conference, which covers the multitude of disciplines related to material forming. This year's conference features for the first time an ECCOMAS Thematic conference devoted to new advanced numerical strategies in forming simulation, which has been traditionally one of the mini-symposia of the conference.
L'Université 2.0
Comme toute la société française, l'Université est actuellement confrontée à la révolution numérique. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux critique mais constructif de l'enseignement supérieur à l'heure des écrans omniprésents, tantôt indispensables, tantôt encombrants. Adressé aux étudiants (nouveaux ou actuels) et aux enseignants, il délivre un message optimiste et fournit des références documentaires précises.
Thin Film Materials
Thin film mechanical behavior and stress presents a technological challenge for materials scientists, physicists and engineers. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the major issues and topics dealing with stress, defect formation, surface evolution and allied effects in thin film materials. Physical phenomena are examined from the continuum down to the sub-microscopic length scales, with the connections between the structure of the material and its behavior described. Theoretical concepts are underpinned by discussions on experimental methodology and observations. Fundamental scientific concepts are embedded through sample calculations, a broad range of case studies with practical applications, thorough referencing, and end of chapter problems. With solutions to problems available on-line, this book will be essential for graduate courses on thin films and the classic reference for researchers in the field.
Thermal Spray Fundamentals
This book provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for understanding thermal spray technology. Coverage includes in-depth discussions of various thermal spray processes, feedstock materials, particle-jet interactions, and associated yet very critical topics: diagnostics, current and emerging applications, surface science, and pre and post-treatment. This book will serve as an invaluable resource as a textbook for graduate courses in the field and as an exhaustive reference for professionals involved in thermal spray technology.
Surface Coatings for Protection Against Wear
As wear is a surface or near surface phenomenon it has long been realised that the wear resistance of a component can be improved by providing a surface of different composition from the bulk material. Although this book concentrates on surface coatings, the distinction between surface coatings and the process of modifying the surface by changing its composition is not always clear, so some useful surface modification techniques are also considered.Surface coatings for protection against wear, consists of twelve chapters written by different authors, experts in their field. After a brief introductory chapter wear phenomena and the properties required from a coating are addressed. Chapter thr...
Central Nervous System Metastases
This book provides a comprehensive overview of brain metastases, from the molecular biology aspects to therapeutic management and perspectives. Due to the increasing incidence of these tumors and the urgent need to effectively control brain metastatic diseases in these patients, new therapeutic strategies have emerged in recent years. The volume discusses all these innovative approaches combined with new surgical techniques (fluorescence, functional mapping, integrated navigation), novel radiation therapy techniques (stereotactic radiosurgery) and new systemic treatment approaches such as targeted- and immunotherapy. These combination strategies represent a new therapeutic model in brain metastatic patients in which each medical practitioner (neurosurgeon, neurologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist) plays a pivotal role in defining the optimal treatment in a multidisciplinary approach. Written by recognized experts in the field, this book is a valuable tool for neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, neuroradiologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, cognitive therapists, basic scientists and students working in the area of brain tumors.
Computational Thermodynamics
Phase diagrams are used in materials research and engineering to understand the interrelationship between composition, microstructure and process conditions. In complex systems, computational methods such as CALPHAD are employed to model thermodynamic properties for each phase and simulate multicomponent phase behavior. Written by recognized experts in the field, this is the first introductory guide to the CALPHAD method, providing a theoretical and practical approach. Building on core thermodynamic principles, this book applies crystallography, first principles methods and experimental data to computational phase behavior modeling using the CALPHAD method. With a chapter dedicated to creating thermodynamic databases, the reader will be confident in assessing, optimizing and validating complex thermodynamic systems alongside database construction and manipulation. Several case studies put the methods into a practical context, making this suitable for use on advanced materials design and engineering courses and an invaluable reference to those using thermodynamic data in their research or simulations.
