Applied Materials Science
Applications of Engineering Materials in Structural, Electronics, Thermal, and Other Industries

Author: Deborah D. L. Chung | Size: 15 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2001 | pages: 256 |
ISBN: 9781420040975

Features
Focuses on applied rather than fundamental materials science
Covers numerous types of materials and areas of application
Includes up-to-date references in each chapter
Requires only a nominal background in fundamental material science

Summary
Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering undergraduates with the fundamental concepts of materials science, including crystal structures, imperfections, phase diagrams, materials processing, and materials properties. Few, however, offer the practical, applications-oriented background that their students need to succeed in industry.

Applied Materials Science: Applications of Engineering Materials in Structural, Electronics, Thermal, and Other Industries fills that gap. From a cross-disciplinary perspective that reflects both the multifunctionality of many materials and the wide scope industrial needs, the author examines the practical applications of metal, ceramic, polymer, cement, carbon, and composite materials across a broad range of industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging, smart materials, thermal management, nondestructive evaluation, and materials development. The text is clear, coherent, and tutorial in style, includes numerous up-to-date references, and provides background material in a series of appendices.

Unique in its breadth of coverage of both materials and their applications, Applied Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically relevant. If you work or teach those that aspire to work in an engineering capacity, you will find no text or reference that better prepares its readers for real-world applications of engineering materials.

This document provides guidance on details of concrete curing practice as they pertain to
construction of portland cement concrete pavements. The guide is organized around the major
events in curing pavements: curing immediately after placement (initial curing), curing during
the period after final finishing (final curing), and termination of curing and evaluation of
effectiveness of curing. Information is presented on selection of curing materials and
procedures, analysis of concrete properties and jobsite conditions, and on ways to adjust
curing practice to account for specific project conditions.

Report of a Working Party of The Concrete Society in collaboration with the Concrete Bridge Development Group. This fully revised and updated edition provides bridge engineers with authoritative, practical guidance on designing, specifying and constructing durable post-tensioned concrete bridges. A multi-layer protection approach to durability of post-tensioned construction is presented. The standards and practices outlined in the core of the Report are a package of design, materials and construction measures. For prestressing, quality forms the basis of the recommendations. It links recommended design details, specifications for duct and grouting systems, and a quality assurance scheme for supply and installation of post-tensioning systems. The scope of this second edition has been extended to include; external unbonded prestressing remedial (void) grouting of existing bridges updated information on new test methods. 70pages.

This book provides an insight in advanced methods and concepts for structural analysis and design against seismic loading. The book consists of 25 chapters dealing with a wide range of timely issues in contemporary Earthquake Engineering. In brief, the topics covered are: collapse assessment, record selection, effect of soil conditions, problems in seismic design, protection of monuments, earth dam structures and liquid containers, numerical methods, lifetime assessment, post-earthquake measures.

A common ground of understanding is provided between the communities of Earth Sciences and Computational Mechanics towards mitigating seismic risk. The topic is of great social and scientific interest, due to the large number of scientists and practicing engineers currently working in the field and due to the great social and economic consequences of earthquakes

  Durability of Strain-Hardening Fibre-Reinforced Cement-Based Composites (SHCC)
Posted by: ir_71 - 12-13-2010, 05:25 AM - Forum: Concrete - Replies (2)

Durability of Strain-Hardening Fibre-Reinforced Cement-Based Composites

Author: Van Zijl, G.P.A.G.; Wittmann, F.H. (Eds.) | Size: 3.8 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2010 |
pages: 978-94-007-0337-7 | ISBN: 978-94-007-0337-7

[Image: info.png]

Strain-Hardening Fibre-Reinforced Cement-Based Composites (SHCC) were named after their ability to resist increased tensile force after crack formation, over a significant tensile deformation range. The increased resistance is achieved through effective crack bridging by fibres, across multiple cracks of widths in the micro-range. Whether these small crack widths are maintained under sustained, cyclic or other load paths, and whether the crack width limitation translates into durability through retardation of ingress of moisture, gas and other deleterious matter, are scrutinized in this book by evaluation of test results from several laboratories internationally. The durability of SHCC under mechanical, chemical, thermal and combined actions is considered, both for the composite and the fibre types typically used in SHCC. The compilation of this state-of-the-art report has been an activity of the RILEM TC 208-HFC, Subcommittee 2: Durability, during the committee life 2005-2009.
