Chromic Materials
This informative volume reflects the state of art in the science of color-changeable materials and provides an abundance of in-depth knowledge about the field of colorimetry. The book describes the facts behind the chromic phenomena from the point of application, spectrophotometry of chromic materials, and instrumentation and testing. The authors begin with a short historical overview of the chromic phenomena, chromic materials, and classification of chromic materials and then go on to provide comprehensive treatises on chromic (or color-changeable) textiles and production techniques. Detailed descriptions of measurement methods that are usable in cases of translucent or opaque materials are...
The Biogas Handbook
The biogas handbook: Science, production and applications provides a comprehensive and systematic guide to the development and deployment of biogas supply chains and technology.
Architectural Corrosion and Critical Infrastructure
Corrosion is a major cause of structural degradation in buildings and infrastructure, leading to significant impacts to the economy and public safety. Concern is growing about the deterioration and corrosion of critical infrastructure, such as towers, bridges, highways and tall buildings. Monitoring and addressing the condition of such assets requires an understanding of corrosion and the factors that may influence it. However, this is a complex issue spanning multiple disciplines, including engineering, materials science, architecture and construction. Starting with the underlying chemical processes and common corrosion challenges, this book explores the nature of corrosion in a range of structures and their environmental, material and maintenance aspects. Effective inspection methods are explored, with practical strategies for mitigation and remediation. New opportunities with machine learning and artificial intelligence are also discussed, offering innovative solutions and making this an essential reference for anyone working on or studying the preservation of architectural structures and critical infrastructure.
Food Process Engineering
Food Process Engineering: Safety Assurance and Complements pursues a logical sequence of coverage of industrial processing of food and raw material where safety and complementary issues are germane. Measures to guarantee food safety are addressed at start, and the most relevant intrinsic and extrinsic factors are reviewed, followed by description of unit operations that control microbial activity via the supply of heat supply or the removal of heat. Operations prior and posterior are presented, as is the case of handling, cleaning, disinfection and rinsing, and effluent treatment and packaging, complemented by a brief introduction to industrial utilities normally present in a food plant. Key Features: Overviews the technological issues encompassing properties of food products Provides comprehensive mathematical simulation of food processes Analyzes the engineering of foods at large, and safety and complementary operations in particular, with systematic derivation of all relevant formulae Discusses equipment features required by the underlying processes
Carbon-Based Nanocomposites for Sustainable Applications, Volume I
This book presents readers with a comprehensive discussion on carbon-based nanocomposites and their critical role in addressing global sustainability challenges. By bridging the gap between materials science and real-world applications, this book serves as an invaluable resource for academic researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and advanced students in fields such as materials science, engineering, and environmental studies dealing with the unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials. It provides a detailed view of carbon-based nanocomposites, offering both foundational knowledge and insights into cutting-edge applications that have the potential to drive sustainable progress in the coming years. This Volume One, the first of three, covers the fundamental properties of different types of carbon-based nanocomposites such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers, as well as exploring various synthesis and characterization techniques. In addition, it describes innovative developments in carbon-based nanocomposites for various applications across renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and advanced manufacturing.
Date Palm Fiber Composites
This book covers the recent research advances on the utilization of date palm fibers as a new source of cellulosic fibers that can be used in the reinforcement of polymer composites. It discusses the competitive mechanical, physical, and chemical properties which make date palm fibers stand out as an alternative to other fibers currently used in the natural fiber composites market. This volume will be useful to researchers working on natural fiber composites and fiber reinforced composites looking to develop green, biodegradable and sustainable components for application in automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, wind energy and consumer goods sectors.
Materials for Engineering, Third Edition
This third edition of what has become a modern classic presents a lively overview of materials science that is ideal for students of structural engineering. It contains chapters on the structure of engineering materials, the determination of mechanical properties, metals and alloys, glasses and ceramics, organic polymeric materials and composite materials. It contains a section with thought-provoking questions as well as a series of useful appendices. Tabulated data in the body of the text, and the appendices, have been selected to increase the value of Materials for Engineering as a permanent source of reference to readers throughout their professional lives. The Second edition was awarded Choice's Outstanding Academic Title award in 2003. This third edition includes new information on emerging topics and updated reading lists.
Analysis and Design of Plated Structures
Plated structures are widely used in many engineering constructions ranging from aircraft to ships and from off-shore structures to bridges and buildings. Given their diverse use in severe dynamic loading environments, it is vital that their dynamic behaviour is analysed and understood. Analysis and design of plated structures Volume 2: Dynamics provides a concise review of the most recent research in the area and how it can be applied in the field. The book discusses the modelling of plates for effects such as transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia, assembly of plates in forming thin-walled members, and changing material properties in composite, laminated and functionally graded pl...
Handbook of Textile Fibres
A comprehensive survey of the natural fibers animal, vegetable and mineral on which we depended for our textiles until comparatively recently.
