Explores State-of-the-Art Work from the World's Foremost Scientists, Engineers, Educators, and Practitioners in the FieldWhy use smart materials?Since most smart materials do not add mass, engineers can endow structures with built-in responses to a myriad of contingencies. In their various forms, these materials can adapt to their environments by c
The first dedicated book describing the properties, preparation, characterization and device applications of TiNi-based shape memory alloys.
Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on High Damping Materials held in Kyoto, September 9-10, 2005
Significant changes have occurred in materials science, including increasing demands on life extensions, and the reliability and exploitability of components, materials, and structures. These changes provide smart technologies with excellent application opportunities in aerospace, civil and electrical engineering, transportation, manufacturing, communications, defense, and medicine. Smart Materials and Structures presents an overview of current developments in the characterization and applications of materials and actuators, issues surrounding their control, and the integration of smart systems and technologies. This compendium provides a valuable synopsis of this rapidly expanding and topical research field for engineers, program managers, technologists, physicists, materials scientists, and mathematicians working to advance smart materials, research methods, their applications, and robotic technologies.
"Proceedings from the only conference on medical devices that brings together scientists and product, research, design and development engineers from around the globe to present the latest developments in materials, processes, product performance and new technologies for medical/dental devices." "This volume includes contributions from the world's foremost experts from academia, industry, and national laboratories involved in cardiac, vascular, neurological, and orthopaedic implants, dental devices, and surgical instrumentation/devices." "Materials addressed include biomedical alloys (stainless steels, titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, nickel-titanium alloys, noble and refractory metals) biopolymers, bioceramics, surface coatings, and nanomaterials." "Topics covered include: degradation, wear fracture, corrosion, processing, biomimetics, biocompatibility, bioelectric phenomena and electrode behavior, surface engineering, and cell-material interactions."--BOOK JACKET.
From conception to realization, Microrobotics: Methods and Applications covers all aspects of miniaturized systems that physically interact and manipulate objects at the microscale. It provides a solid understanding of this multidisciplinary field, which combines areas of materials science, mechanical engineering, and applied physics. Requiring no
The autobiography of a three-time Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. Emphasizes his discoveries in diazo compounds, benzene chemistry, electrolytic reactions, and cycloadditions, and his career as chair of organic chemistry at the University of Munich. Huisgen's research made the Munich laboratory one of the foremost German schools in physical organic chemistry and reaction mechanisms. Huisgen also discusses his early years in Hitler's Germany and his family life. Includes numerous bandw photos. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The 94th volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.
