The Science and Engineering of Materials, 3 S.I. Edition
Covers not only ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, but also ceramics, composites and construction materials. Many new examples and illustrations are provided and there is greatly expanded coverage of fracture toughness and crack growth rates. Extensive new material on intermetallic compounds and the kinetics of phase transformations, discussed in respect to ceramics, polymers and metals. Significantly more detailed than earlier editions.
Here is a concise and accessible exposition of a wide range of topics in geometric approaches to differential equations. The authors present an overview of this developing subject and introduce a number of related topics, including twistor theory, vortex filament dynamics, calculus of variations, exterior differential systems and Bäcklund transformations. The book is an ideal starting point for graduate students embarking on research.
