VF03-16 Handbook of Heterogenous Kinematics.
  Soustelle, Michel/ 9781848211001
 
  This title provides a comprehensive overview of all the theoretical and practical bases of heterogenous kinetics and reactivity of solids. It applies the new concepts of reactivity and spatial function, introduced by the author, for both nucleation and growth processes, which makes it possible to give an unified presentation of the reactivity of bulk and powder solids. The book describes the methodology of building a mechanism of a transformation from experimental data, then explains how to obtain the kinetic law as a function of time, temperature, partial pressures and concentrations. Laws given in other works are also covered. Numerous exercises and problems are provided at the end of the book to enrich the reader's understanding of the subject.
VF03-15 Mechanics of Viscoelastic Materials and Wave Dispersion.
  Chevalier, Yvon/ 9781848210776
 
  Over the last 50 years, the various available methods of investigating dynamic properties of materials have resulted in significant advances in this area of materials science. Dynamic tests have also recently proven to be as efficient as static tests, and have the advantage that they are often easier to use at lower frequency. This book explores dynamic testing, the methods used, and the experiments performed, placing a particular emphasis on the context of bounded medium elastodynamics. The book initially focuses on the complements of continuum mechanics before moving on to the various types of rod vibrations: extensional, bending and torsional. In addition, chapters contain practical examples alongside theoretical discussion to facilitate the reader's understanding. The results presented are the culmination of over 30 years of research by the authors and will be of great interest to anyone involved in this field.

  Lalanne, Christian/ 9781848211216
 
  This important five-volume series has been written with both the professional engineer and the academic in mind. Cristian Lalanne explores every aspect of vibration and shock, two fundamental and extremely significant areas of mechanical engineering, from both a theoretical and practical point of view. As all products need to be designed to withstand the environmental conditions to which they are likely to be subjected, prototypes must be verified by calculation and undergo laboratory tests to meet national and international standards. The concept of tailoring the product to its environment has developed gradually. Nowadays, from the very start of a design project through to the standards specifications and testing procedures on the prototype, the real environment in which the product will function is taken into account. The five volumes of Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis cover all the necessary issues in this area of mechanical engineering. The theoretical analyses are placed in the context of both the real world and the laboratory, which is essential for the development of specifications. Volume 1, Sinusoidal Vibration. Volume 2, Mechanical Shock. Volume 3, Random Vibration. Volume 4, Fatigue Damage. Volume 5, Specification Development.

Transport Design: A Travel History.
  Votolato, Gregory/ 9781861893291
 
  Transport Design is the first design history to investigate the experience of travel, analysing the vehicle from the passengers’ and drivers’ points of view. Gregory Votolato takes us inside a wide range of vehicles, from buses and limousines to dugout canoes and 'superferries', to aircraft such as the Graf Zeppelin and the Apollo spacecraft. Organised in three parts – air, land and sea – Transport Design shows how the design of a vehicle shapes our experience of the journey, from home to work, or from the earth to the stars. In an authoritative yet accessible style, Votolato explores the relationship between mass transportation and the travel experience, taking into account the pressures of global commerce and global warming, and argues for a radical reappraisal of how and why we travel. Themes explored include comfort, safety, technology, style, economics, customization and entertainment, acknowledging along the way the contributions of important individuals, such as entrepreneur George Mortimer Pullman and the ship designer Dorothy Marckwald.

  Forsthoffer, William/ 9781856174725
 
  Over recent years there have been substantial changes in those industries which are concerned with the design, purchase and use of special purpose (ie critical, high-revenue) rotating equipment. Key personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material 'from scratch'. As a result, many companies are finding that they are devoting unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation of basic principles, and having to explain these to clients who should already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of understanding by contractors and users of equipment characteristics and operating systems often results in a 'wrong fit' and a costly reliability problem. The stakes can be high, and it against this background that Forsthoffer's Rotating Equipment Handbooks have been published. Each is the outcome of many years experience and is based on well-honed teaching material which is easily readable, understandable and actually enjoyable! The result is a set of books which will enhance rotating equipment reliability and safety throughout the many industries where such equipment is vital to a successful business. This is a five volume set. The volumes are: 1: Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment 2: Pumps 3: Compressors 4: Auxiliary Equipment 5: Component Condition Monitoring/ Root Cause Analysis

VF02-31 Composite Materials IV.
  Tsao, Chi Y.A./ 9780878499977
 
  Composite materials have been at the center of research and development, in the materials community, for decades. The concept of combining metals, ceramics and polymers of various types, shapes and properties into a single composite material having properties that none of the constituents can themselves exhibit, has provided endless scope for human beings to invent. It has therefore stimulated numerous research and development efforts, and many applications. However, in spite of the advantages of composite materials, many underlying problems arising from the complexity of the systems have greatly hindered them from being the major players that they should be in our daily lives. Needless to say, the challenges presented to the composite materials community have been the driving force for organizing composite materials conferences, including the Cross-Strait ones. The main goal of the collection has always been to present the latest research, development and technical processes in the field of composite materials; covering metal-, ceramic- and polymer-based composites. The topics include those related to the synthesis, processing, structure, properties and performance of composite materials.
