Microstructure-Property Correlations for Hard, Superhard, and Ultrahard Materials

Microstructure-Property Correlations for Hard, Superhard, and Ultrahard Materials
Springer | Materials | June 14 2016 | ISBN-10: 3319292897 | 239 pages | pdf | 7.94 mb

Editors: Kanyanta, Valentine (Ed.)

Covers the correlation among hard materials microstructure, properties, and behavior during application
Describes microstructure characterization techniques for hard and superhard materials
Examines appropriate mechanical testing methods for hard and superhard materials
Details how different microstructures may respond differently to different chemical, thermal, and mechanical environments

This book discusses microstructure-property correlations and explores key microstructure features and how they affect the properties of a material. The authors discuss the effect of manufacturing and processing routes on microstructure and properties. They identify appropriate microstructure and mechanical characterization techniques essential for developing accurate microstructure-property relationships. The techniques include high resolution imaging methods and properties measurements such as hardness, strength, elastic modulus, and fracture toughness. Current and future trends in hard and superhard material design are revealed by the authors, including nanostructured materials, biomimicry, and novel manufacturing technologies.

Robert Hirsch – Photographic Possibilities: The Expressive Use of Equipment, Ideas, Materials, and Processes
2008 | ISBN: 0240810139 | English | 300 pages | PDF | 32 MB

Serious imagemakers have come to trust and depend on this resource of innovative, traditional, and alternative photographic processes to enhance their technical knowledge, create astonishing pictures, and raise their visual consciousness.

This book offers new links between analog and digital photography by featuring clear, step-by-step instructions on topics ranging from making digital negatives, to using infrared film and toners, to alternative process techniques including salt prints, ambrotypes, kallitypes, Vandyke Brownprints, gumoil, gum bichromate, platinum and palladium processes, and more.

This edition showcases the thought-provoking work of more than 140 international artists including Peter Beard, Dan Burkholder, Carl Chiarenza, Michael Kenna, Dinh Q. Lê, Joe Mills, Andrea Modica, Bea Nettles, France Scully and Mark Osterman, Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison, Holly Roberts, Martha Rosler, Mike and Doug Starn, John Sexton, Brian Taylor, Jerry Uelsmann, and Joel Peter Witkin as well as other major and emerging talents. Image captions explain how each artist technically realized their vision and concept.

Neutron Scattering and Other Nuclear Techniques for Hydrogen in Materials

Neutron Scattering and Other Nuclear Techniques for Hydrogen in Materials
Springer | Materials | April 20 2016 | ISBN-10: 3319227912 | 413 pages | pdf | 15.83 mb

Editors: Fritzsche, Helmut, Huot, Jacques, Fruchart, Daniel (Eds.)

Provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear techniques used for hydrogen-related research
Explains all nuclear techniques in detail for the non-expert
Covers the whole range of hydrogen-related research
Features chapters written by world-renowned experts in nuclear technique and hydrogen-related research

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the main nuclear characterization techniques used to study hydrogen absorption and desorption in materials. The various techniques (neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, ion-beams, perturbed angular correlation, muon spin rotation) are explained in detail, and a variety of examples of recent research projects are given to show the unique advantage of these techniques to study hydrogen in materials. Most of these nuclear techniques require very specialized instrumentation, and there are only a handful of these instruments available worldwide. Therefore, the aim of this book is to reach out to a readership with a very diverse background in the physical sciences and engineering and a broad range of hydrogen-related research interests. The same technique can be used by researchers interested in the improvement of the performance of hydrogen storage materials and by those focused on hydrogen ingress causing embrittlement of metals. The emphasis of this book is to provide tutorial material on how to use nuclear characterization techniques for the investigation of hydrogen in materials – information that cannot readily be found in conference and regular research papers.
