In this book the real analytic solutions for the "Disc with Circular Inclusion" under normal- and shear force at plane-strain state (EVZ) are presented. The associated solution process, which was developed according to the principle of statically indeterminate systems, is docume…
Introduction -- Nanomaterials Synthesis Routes -- Catalyst Nanoparticles -- Synthesis and Pre-Synthesis Occurrences -- Vapor-Solid-Liquid (VLS) Growth Mechanism -- Vapor-Solid-Solid (VSS) Growth Mechanism -- Vapor-Solid (VS) Growth Mechanism -- Solution and Supercritical Fluid B…
This book deals with the synthesis of nanomaterials with a strong focus on the underlying reaction kinetics and various synthesis mechanisms. It gives a detailed description of all major synthesis routes of many types of novel nanomaterials including nanowires, carbon nanotubes,…
Quantum Simulations of Materials and Biological Systems features contributions from leading world experts in the fields of density functional theory (DFT) and its applications to material and biological systems. The recent developments of correlation functionals, implementations…
This book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity; in particular, to the theories of dilute polymer solutions and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to practical problems of in…
