Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are no longer confined to use in commercial signage and have now moved firmly, and with unquestioned advantages, into the field of commercial and domestic lighting. This development was prompted in the late 1980s by the invention of the blue LED, a wavelength that had previously been missing from the available LED spectrum and which opened the way to providing white li…
Впервые в отечественной литературе дается описание цифровых анализаторов спектра, сигналов (в том числе близких к монохромным и телекоммуникационных), цепей и логических состояний цифровых устройств. Особое внимание уделено анализаторам спектров и сигналов реального времени. Описаны как стационарные, так и переносные приборы с питанием от аккумуляторных батарей, а также приборы-приставки к персона…
Although a number of texts on helicopter aerodynamics have been written, few have explained how the various theories concerning rotorborne flight underpin practical flight test and evaluation. This book combines theoretical information on aerodynamics, stability, control and performance with details of evaluation methodologies and practical guidance on the conduct of helicopter flight tests. For e…
A fascinating introduction to the basic principles of orbital mechanics It has been three hundred years since Isaac Newton first formulated laws to explain the orbits of the Moon and the planets of our solar system. In so doing he laid the groundwork for modern science's understanding of the workings of the cosmos and helped pave the way to the age of space exploration. Adventures in Celestial Mec…
Although ceramics have been known to mankind literally for millennia, research has never ceased. Apart from the classic uses as a bulk material in pottery, construction, and decoration, the latter half of the twentieth century saw an explosive growth of application fields, such as electrical and thermal insulators, wear-resistant bearings, surface coatings, lightweight armour, and aerospace materi…
This proceedings contains papers presented at the Electronics in Extreme Environments, International Fuel Cells and Related Systems, and Advanced Dielectrics for Wireless Communications symposia.
Mechanical properties of composite materials can be improved by tailoring their microstructures. Optimal microstructures of composites, which ensure desired properties of composite materials, can be determined in computational experiments. The subject of this book is the computational analysis of interrelations between mechanical properties (e.g., strength, damage resistance stiffness) and microst…
This book offers a comprehensive overview on the subject of welding. Written by a group of expert contributors, the book covers all welding methods, from traditional to high-energy plasmas and lasers. The reference presents joint welding, stainless steel welding, aluminum welding, welding in the nuclear industry, and all aspects of welding quality control.
This edition of the Progress in Ceramic Technology series compiles articles published on thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) by The American Ceramic Society (ACerS). It collects in one resource the current research papers on materials-related aspects of thermal barrier coatings and associated technologies. Logically organized and carefully selected, the papers in this edition divide into six categorie…
A comprehensive and substantial source of information on the properties, production, processing and applications of copper and copper alloys, of interest to metallurgical, development, design and testing engineers in the automotive and other industries using copper. The authority behind this book – the German Copper Institute – was founded in 1927 and is the technical-scientific advisory center fo…
The topic of thin films is an area of increasing importance in materials science, electrical engineering and applied solid state physics; with both research and industrial applications in microelectronics, computer manufacturing, and physical devices. Advanced, high-performance computers, high-definition TV, broadband imaging systems, flat-panel displays, robotic systems, and medical electronics a…
The International Symposium was organized to capture the state of our knowledge on the science and technology of interfaces. The Symposium (in honor of Dr. B. B. Rath) was held during the TMS Annual meeting, Feb 17-21, 2002 at Seattle WA. This volume captures the salient papers presented at the symposium. The symposium was sponsored by the Structural Materials Division and the Electronic, Magnetic…
This is the third Volume in the series “Advances in Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion” initiated to consolidate information and provide commentary on certain recent research aspects dealing with this important topic. Its predecessor Volumes 1 and 2 were published in 2013 and 2015, respectively. This new book comprising 15 research and review articles is divided into four parts: Part 1: Conta…
