Takes a materials science approach, correlating structure-property relationships with function across a broad range of biological materials.
A review of the current state of the art of biomimetics, this book documents key biological solutions that provide a model for innovations in engineering and science. Leading experts explore a wide range of topics, including artificial senses and organs; mimicry at the cell-materials interface; modeling of plant cell wall architecture; biomimetic composites; artificial muscles; biomimetic optics; and the mimicking of birds, insects, and marine biology. The book also discusses applications of biomimetics in manufacturing, products, medicine, and robotics; biologically inspired design as a tool for interdisciplinary education; and the biomimetic process in artistic creation.
Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3 of the Proceedings of the 2016 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the third volume of ten from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of optical methods ranging from traditional photoelasticity and interferometry to more recent DIC and DVC techniques, and includes papers in the following general technical research areas: Advances in Digital Image Correlation Challenging Applications of DIC Uncertainty Analysis & Improvements to DIC Accuracy Photoelasticity, Interferometry, & Moire Methods Applications of Stereovision Inverse Methods at High Strain Rates Inverse Methods in Plasticity
Edited by distinguished experts in this expanding field and with specialist contributions, this overview is the first of its kind to focus on electrodeposition from ionic liquids. This second edition has been completely revised and updated with approximately 20% new content and has been expanded by five chapters to cover the following topics: -Bulk and Interface Theory -Nanoscale Imaging including AFM, In situ STM and UHV-STM -Impedance Spectroscopy -Process Scale-up including Brighteners -Speciation and Redox Properties. The result is essential reading for electrochemists, materials scientists, chemists in industry, physical chemists, chemical engineers, inorganic and organic chemists.
The papers included in this issue of ECS Transactions were originally presented in the symposium ¿Electrochemistry of Novel Electrode Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage¿, held during the 211th meeting of The Electrochemical Society, in Chicago, IL, from May 6 to 11, 2007.
The 2024 edition of The New York Times Bestselling Guide. PLAY BALL! The 29th edition of this industry-leading baseball annual contains all of the important statistics, player predictions and insider-level commentary that readers have come to expect, along with significant improvements to several statistics that were created by, and are exclusive to, Baseball Prospectus, and an expanded focus on international players and teams. Baseball Prospectus 2024 provides fantasy players and insiders alike with prescient PECOTA projections, which The New York Times called “the überforecast of every player’s performance.” With more than 50 Baseball Prospectus alumni currently working for major-league baseball teams, nearly every organization has sought the advice of current or former BP analysts, and readers of Baseball Prospectus 2024 will understand why!
