Computational Methods and Experiments in Materials Characterisation, Pt. 3 [Kõva köide]

Proceedings from a conference on materials and their microstructures, experimental characterization techniques, and computational methods, held in 2007 in Bologna, Italy. Forty-three contributions are organized into sections on the microstructures of novel composite materials, of ceramics and advanced materials, of alloys, and of cements and cement-based materials; experimental methods, including imaging and analysis, thermal analysis, mechanical characterization and testing, and new methods; and computational methods, including discrete computational methods, damage mechanics, and innovative techniques. A sampling of topics: testing of palm fiber as reinforcement material in polyester composites, blocking and self-locking of superdislocations in intermetallics, martensitic transformation in hot stamping processes, reactive powder concrete, the spatial controlling Lamb waves excited by a point source on the cylindrical wall, thermo-analytical evaluation of wear debris for thermoplastic and sintered polyimide, modeling of viscoelastic properties of a curing adhesive, and seismic damage assessment of steel components.
