This collection encompasses the following four areas: (1) Solidification processing: theoretical and experimental investigations of solidification processes including castings solidification, directional solidification of alloys, electromagnetic stirring, ultrasonic cavitation, mechanical vibration, active cooling and heating, powder bed-electron beam melting additive manufacturing, etc. for processing of metals, polymers and composite materials; (2) Microstructure Evolution: theoretical and experimental studies related to microstructure evolution of materials including prediction of solidification-related defects and particle pushing/engulfment aspects; (3) Novel Casting and Molding Processes: modeling and experimental aspects including high pressure die casting, permanent casting, centrifugal casting, low pressure casting, 3D silica sand mold printing, etc.; and (4) Cast Iron: all aspects related to cast iron characterization, computational and analytical modeling, and processing.
A set of three casebound volumes, discussing space technology and applications.
The aim of this conference was to provide a platform for renowned scientists from around the world to discuss recent developments in the area of solidification science and to review the challenges in the 21st century.
As the British, French and Spanish Atlantic empires were torn apart in the Age of Revolution, Portugal steadily pursued reforms to tie its American, African and European territories more closely together. Eventually, after a period of revival and prosperity, the Luso-Brazilian world also succumbed to revolution, which ultimately resulted in Brazil's independence from Portugal. The first of its kind in the English language to examine the Portuguese Atlantic World in the period from 1750 to 1850, this book reveals that despite formal separation, the links and relationships that survived the demise of empire entwined the historical trajectories of Portugal and Brazil even more deeply. From constitutionalism to economic policy to the problem of slavery, Portuguese and Brazilian statesmen and political writers laboured under the long shadow of empire as they sought to begin anew and forge stable post-imperial orders on both sides of the Atlantic.
The latest in a series of proceedings from conferences sponsored by Engineering Conferences International (formerly the Engineering Foundation), this volume captures the current state of the art in the field of mathematical modeling of casting and welding processes. This edition deals with such traditional issues as microstructure formation, mushy zone rheology, segregation, microporosity, and thermo-mechanical simulation, as well as new themes reflecting industrial needs, including simulation of melting and solid separation in the melt (inclusion removal) and simulation of aggregate and porous materials (mold and core simulation). This book contains 90 papers as well as abstracts of invited talks. The proceedings focus primarily on the continuous development of tools for simulation of microstructure evolution, database and critical experiments, and shaped-casting simulation.
