About Book :
Theoretical treatments of fracture mechanics abound in the literature. Among the first books to address this vital topic from an applied standpoint was the first edition of Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design. Completely updated and expanded to reflect recent developments in the field, the second edition of this valuable reference concisely reviews all of the fracture modes and design methodologies needed for control and prevention of structural failures in mechanical components.
Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design, Second Edition begins with the historical development of the field, which is critical in understanding the origins and purpose of the various methodologies and equations. The book goes on to provide the fundamentals, basic formulas, elementary worked examples, and references with an emphasis on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The author also includes case studies and design problems to clarify the concepts and explain their application. New chapters cover experimental methods in fracture, fracture of composite materials, dynamic fracture, and post mortem analysis of fracture surfaces.
Providing much more than a simple introduction to fracture mechanics, this critical, authoritative guide supplies easy-to-use and understand tools based on hands-on experience in design, emphasizing practical applications over heavily theoretical, rigorous mathematical derivations.

About Book :
For many years, various editions of "Smallman's Modern Physical Metallurgy" have served throughout the world as a standard undergraduate textbook on metals and alloys. In 1995, it was rewritten and enlarged to encompass the related subject of materials science and engineering and appeared under the title "Metals & Materials: Science, Processes, Applications" offering a comprehensive amount of a much wider range of engineering materials. Coverage ranged from pure elements to super alloys, from glasses to engineering ceramics, and from everyday plastics to in situ composites. Amongst other favorable reviews, Professor Bhadeshia of Cambridge University commented: 'Given the amount of work that has obviously gone into this book and its extensive comments, it is very attractively priced. It is an excellent book to be recommend strongly for purchase by undergraduates in materials-related subjects, who should benefit greatly by owning a text containing so much knowledge'. The book now includes new chapters on materials for sports equipment (golf, tennis, bicycles, skiing, etc.) and biomaterials (replacement joints, heart valves, tissue repair, etc.) - two of the most exciting and rewarding areas in current materials research and development. As in its predecessor, numerous examples are given of the ways in which knowledge of the relation between fine structure and properties has made it possible to optimize the service behavior of traditional engineering materials and to develop completely new and exciting classes of materials. Special consideration is given to the crucial processing stage that enables materials to be produced as marketable commodities. Whilst attempting to produce a useful and relatively concise survey of key materials and their interrelationships, the authors have tried to make the subject accessible to a wide range of readers, to provide insights into specialized methods of examination and to convey the excitement of the atmosphere in which new materials are conceived and developed.

About Book :
An increasing variety of petroleum feedstocks has produced an ever diversifying array of petroleum products. Consequently, new analytical techniques are constantly being developed in order to determine the appropriate applications for these new products. The Handbook of Petroleum Product Analysis provides detailed explanations of the necessary standard tests and procedures that are applicable to these products in order to determine the predictability of their behavior.
A companion to James G. Speight’s Handbook of Petroleum Analysis, this book describes the application of methods for determining the instability and incompatibility of petroleum products. More importantly, the Handbook provides details of the meaning of various test results and how they might be applied to predict product behavior. Written in a readable, conversational style that makes the book easy to use, Dr. Speight’s text does not compete with the Annual Book of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) Standards; instead, the Handbook complements it by explaining the raison d’être of various testing methods, making a case for standardizing protocols across international boundaries. Chapters include:
-Naphtha
-Aviation Fuel
-Kerosene
-Distillate Fuel Oil
-Asphalt
Chemists and engineers in the refining industry, as well as students, will find Dr. Speight’s Handbook to be an accessible, invaluable guide to understanding the methods for analyzing petroleum products.
Handbook of Mold, Tool and Die Repair Welding - S. Thompson
Edition : 1st
Author : S. Thompson
Pages : 211
Size : 7.87MB
Print : PDf
About Book :
This book covers an important and frequently overlooked area of welding - the repair of molds, tools and dies. Because two rather different trades overlap in this process - welding and tool making, the materials and techniques involved have tended to be obscured. For many years, toolmakers and tool users have had to rely on the small number of specialist welders who do understand exactly what welding repair involves and have the skills to carry it out.
Understanding the technical side of tool steels is frequently a problem for welders and understanding the practical side of welding can be a problem for machinists. This book has been written so that specialists from both sides can get to grips with the techniques and procedures involved.
Key Features:
- Wonderfully illustrated with diagrams that explain key points
- Exhaustive reference of steels in the first appendix (48 pages)
- "Reading it is like being taught to weld molds, tools and dies by a friend who is highly experienced in this trade." (Rocky Huber in his review)

About Book :
Heat transfer is the area of engineering science which describes the energy transport between material bodies due to a difference in temperature. The three different modes of heat transport are conduction, convection and radiation. In most problems, these three modes exist simultaneously. However, the significance of these modes depends on the problems studied and often, insignificant modes are neglected.
Very often books published on Computational Fluid Dynamics using the Finite Element Method give very little or no significance to thermal or heat transfer problems. From the research point of view, it is important to explain the handling of various types of heat transfer problems with different types of complex boundary conditions. Problems with slow fluid motion and heat transfer can be difficult problems to handle. Therefore, the complexity of combined fluid flow and heat transfer problems should not be underestimated and should be dealt with carefully.
This book:
Is ideal for teaching senior undergraduates the fundamentals of how to use the Finite Element Method to solve heat transfer and fluid dynamics problemsExplains how to solve various heat transfer problems with different types of boundary conditions
Uses recent computational methods and codes to handle complex fluid motion and heat transfer problems
Includes a large number of examples and exercises on heat transfer problems
In an era of parallel computing, computational efficiency and easy to handle codes play a major part. Bearing all these points in mind, the topics covered on combined flow and heat transfer in this book will be an asset for practising engineers and postgraduate students. Other topics of interest for the heat transfer community, such as heat exchangers and radiation heat transfer, are also included.

This workshop brought together the top scientists and engineers in each area to discuss the similarities and differences in each technique and theory. The lectures truly bridge the gaps between these related areas and approaches. The applications in future separations, catalysis, the environment and energy needs are obvious. The solids comprised the newly developing molecular sieves, biological systems and polymeric solids. Transport in single particles, in membranes and in commercial applications were reviewed and analyzed, placing each in context. Techniques such as uptake, Chromatographic, Frequency Response, NMR, Neutron Scattering and Infrared spectroscopies are discussed for mixtures as well as for single components. Theoretical approaches such as Density Functional Theory, Statistical Mechanics, Molecular Dynamics and Maxwell-Stefan Theory are employed to analyze the diffusional transport in confined environments, spanning from sub-nanometers to centimetre scales. In all cases the theories are related to the experiments. These lectures present a uniquq opportunity to learn the various theoretical and experimental approaches to analyze and understand transport in nanoporous materials.
