This book is about field responsive fluids as smart materials, which includes magneto-rheological (MR) fluids, electro-rheological (ER) fluids and ferrofluids. It reviews the previous works and con
"Semiconductor-On-Insulator Materials for NanoElectronics Applications” is devoted to the fast evolving field of modern nanoelectronics, and more particularly to the physics and technology of nanoelec
The first edition of "Composite Materials" introduced a new way of looking at composite materials. This second edition expands the book’s scope to emphasize application-driven and process-oriented mat
Recent developments in the use of electrospun fibrous materials, for application as scaffolds for tissue engineering and in the application of carbon fibrous materials in fuel cells, has generated ne
In 1997, Dr. Kaw introduced the first edition of Mechanics of Composite Materials, receiving high praise for its comprehensive scope and detailed examples. He also introduced the groundbreaking PROMAL
This book lays down the foundation on the mechanics and design of auxetic solids and structures, solids that possess negative Poisson’s ratio. It will benefit two groups of readers: (a) industry pract
This book combines the perspectives of materials science of superplasticity with those of design and mechanics to provide a holistic view of materials, design, mechanics and performance. Also describe
This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from both an experimental and theoretical point of view. It discusses the methods used to understand and predi
Classical plasticity theory of metals is independent of the hydrostatic pressure. However, if the metal contains voids or pores or if the structure is composed of cells, this classical assumption is n
This book concentrates on the design and development of integrated optic waveguide sensors using silicon based materials. The implementation of such system as a tool for detecting adulteration in petr
After a brief introduction into crystal plasticity,the fun- damentals of crystallographic textures and plastic anisotro- py, a main topic of this book, are outlined. A large chapter is devoted to form
