Voids are present, at some level in all solids their pervasiveness makes it highly important to understand the subject form practical scientific and engineering standpoints. Even in the most engineering "dense" materials, defects such as voids will limit the design opportunities…
Voids in Materials treats voids of different shapes and forms in various materials, and examines their effects on material properties. The book covers the origins of voids in materials, how they are sometimes introduced in the form of hollow spheres, and the resultant properties…
X-rays and materials
This book presents reviews of various aspects of radiation/matter interactions, be these instrumental developments, the application of the study of the interaction of X-rays and materials to a particular scientific field, or specific methodological approaches. The overall aim of…
