Physics and Mechanics of New Materials: Synthesis, Processing, Emerging Applications

Details advances in materials science and engineering technology. Covers their usefulness in design, fabrication, testing, and industrial application of advanced materials and structures. Discusses impact of technological change upon the application of selected materials and energy resources and their uses along with case studies. This new volume covers new advances in materials science and engineering technology, focusing on practical rather than theoretical aspects that are useful for the design, fabrication, testing, and industrial application of advanced materials and structures. It provides an overview of modern ferrites with special attention to their structure, types, and properties, discusses the impact of technological change upon the application of selected materials and energy resources, and presents case studies in thermophysics and applied mechanics for engineering technology that illustrate the physical, chemical, and material properties of a range of modern materials.
