Covers dispersion-hardened and fibre-reinforced alloys, addressing principal mechanisms, processing and applications. This title deals with mechanical behaviour based on dislocation theory and elastic-plastic mechanics. It provides data on advanced composites are provided.
"Provides comprehensive information on the tribological aspects of advanced ceramic materials for all uses that require controlled friction and wear resistance. The text is a guide to altering the microstructure of ceramics to create optimum performance in sliding and rolling co…
This is a thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded edition of a classic illustrated introduction to the structural materials in natural organisms and what we can learn from them to improve man-made technology--from nanotechnology to textiles to architecture. Julian Vincent's bo…
