The Handbook of Advanced Materials
Written to educate readers about recent advances in the area of new materials used in making products. Materials and their properties usually limit the component designer. * Presents information about all of these advanced materials that enable products to be designed in a new way * Provides a cost effective way for the design engineer to become acquainted with new materials * The material expert benefits by being aware of the latest development in all these areas so he/she can focus on further improvements
Fracture Analysis of Layered Beams With an Elastically Coupled Behavior and Hygrothermal Stresses
This book presents an analytical framework for calculating the fracture toughness of generally layered beam structures with an elastically coupled response and hygrothermal stresses. The beam under study features several peculiarities: it consists of multiple layers of dissimilar materials, features bending-extension coupling, and contains residual hygrothermal stresses. Here, a generic analytical model is proposed to compute the energy release rate and the mode mixity. Mechanics of composite materials, crack closure integral, and energetic methods are among the theoretical tools employed for developing the model. A wealth of new closed-form expressions is presented, together with their vali...
Ranking of researchers and scientists in Greece in 2017 according to Google Scholar database
Scope: The classification of researchers and scientists in Greece in a unified list based on the citation impact and dissemination level of their scientific work according to Google Scholar database. Classification criteria: First criterion is h-index. In the case of equal h-index, the following scientometric indicators are used for the classification. The number of total citations, the i10-index, the total impact factor of scientist, the m-index or m-quotient of scientist. Information resource: The h-index, citations and i10-index derived from the public profiles of researchers in the Google Scholar database. In addition, the calculation of total impact factor and m-index of each researcher...
Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing VI
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is of worldwide significance, and is strongly related to the detection of damage in engineering structures (buildings, bridges, aircrafts, ships, pressure vessels, etc.) using non-invasive techniques (ultrasound, X-rays, Radar, neutrons, thermography, vibrations, acoustic emission, etc.). Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing VI includes the contributions to the 6th International Conference in Non-Destructive Testing (Brussels, Belgium, 27-29 May 2015). The book intends to give the latest updates in the field of NDT, and is organized in chapters on high impact subjects, such as: - Applications of NDT methods related to cultural heritage structures; - ...
Strength Prediction of Adhesively-Bonded Joints
Adhesively-bonded joints provide many advantages over conventional mechanical fasteners and are increasingly receiving attention as an alternative to mechanical joints in engineering applications. The traditional fasteners usually result in the cutting of fibers and hence the introduction of stress concentrations, both of which reduce structural integrity. By contrast, bonded joints are more continuous and have potential advantages of strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, and ease of fabrication. This book provides an overview of available analytical methods as well as numerical methods.
Emerging Technologies in NDT
This volume contains the papers presented at the 2nd International Conference entitled: "Emerging Technologies in NDT" which was held in Athens, Greece, May 24-26, 1999. This work covers frequently used non-destructive testing methods and introduces innovative ideas in the field. The title also focuses on visual and optical inspection, acoustic emission and ultrasonics as well as a range of other closely related topics. More than 50 papers were presented at the conferecne by invited and distinguished researchers from all over the world. This volume forms a valuable record of important contributions to the relevant literature. It contains not only the most up-to-date technology developments b...
Emerging Technologies in NDT
This is the third volume of a series of proceedings including papers presented at the respective International Conferences entitled: "Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)" that have been held in Greece since 1995. This volume contains papers presented at the third Conference on Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Conference, convened at Thessaloniki, Greece in 2003. Papers cover a range of subjects including: * interdisciplinary efforts to gain maximum benefit from capabilities from other science and engineering fields * integration of several methods to form multimode systems for improved reliability * increased use of computer simulation to investigate the response of specific methods This work also covers improvements, enhancements and new and innovative ideas in NDT and should be of interest to engineers, researchers, quality control managers, as well as teachers and graduate students in the field.
The Nature of the Early Ottoman State
Drawing on surviving documents from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, The Nature of the Early Ottoman State provides a revisionist approach to the study of the formative years of the Ottoman Empire. Challenging the predominant view that a desire to spread Islam accounted for Ottoman success during the fourteenth-century advance into Southeastern Europe, Lowry argues that the primary motivation was a desire for booty and slaves. The early Ottomans were a plundering confederacy, open to anyone (Muslim or Christian) who could meaningfully contribute to this goal. It was this lack of a strict religious orthodoxy, and a willingness to preserve local customs and practices, that allowed the Ottomans to gain and maintain support. Later accounts were written to buttress what had become the self-image of the dynasty following its incorporation of the heartland of the Islamic world in the sixteenth century.

Recent Developments of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnics in Theory and Practice
This book provides essential insights into recent developments in fundamental geotechnical engineering research. Special emphasis is given to a new family of constitutive soil description methods, which take into account the recent loading history and the dilatancy effects. Particular attention is also paid to the numerical implementation of multi-phase material under dynamic loads, and to geotechnical installation processes. In turn, the book addresses implementation problems concerning large deformations in soils during piling operations or densification processes, and discusses the limitations of the respective methods. Numerical simulations of dynamic consolidation processes are presente...
