Structural colors in living beings are one of the most marvelous arts that nature has ever created during the long history of the evolution.

These colors originate from surprisingly sophisticated microstructures which gave rise to a new field of research—bionanophotonics.

This book occupies a special position among similar books in the field of photonics because it places a special emphasis on the detailed physical basis for the optical processes that are deeply connected with the structural colors, and also on the biological and physiological bases concerning what a variety of animals are living and how they are seen by human vision. In addition, it contains ample examples for the recent technological advances in photonics that are rooted in the nature.

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials using Abaqus™ Ever J. Barbero West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA

Praise for Ever J. Barnero "… very well written; it is easy to follow and includes topics that students, engineers, and researchers from different fields can find very interesting and useful. The examples are very well detailed and provide valuable guidance on how to implement and understand theoretical solutions when translated into finite element models of composite materials and structures. Overall, this is a great book if the reader is looking for a comprehensive treatment of composite materials covering detailed theoretical background followed by implementation of the concepts into practical problems using a powerful modeling tool such as Abaqus."

—Eduardo M. Sosa, West Virginia University

"The book is essential for any academic in the area of solid mechanics. I use this book with my students, as the subject and the materials are very clear and finite element codes in the book help their work progress and make my guidance more productive. It has both theory and applications using the finite element method. This book is also essential for composite engineers as a quick reference of topics that can be of use in their field."

—Gasser Abdelal, Queen’s University Belfast

"I will definitely adopt this text for my course. … The use of Abaqus-based examples for the reinforcement of the theory and concepts allows students to learn how to apply the concepts using a popular finite element package that will provide each student with a marketable skill that is in demand by industry. The text has a good mix of finite element theory and composite material concepts that are reinforced through the example problems. The Abaqus examples are well organized and present the basic working knowledge in the use of Abaqus/CAE for the preprocessing, analysis in the solver, and the subsequent postprocessing."

—James A. Sherwood, University of Massachusetts Lowell

"This book by Prof. Barbero does an excellent job introducing the fundamentals of mechanics of composite materials and the finite element method in a concise way. Some of the most common problems that the practicing engineer has to face when designing with composites using finite element analysis are covered in detail. The later chapters in the book will be of great interest to the engineers and researchers interested in modeling the failure and post-failure behavior of composite structures.

The structure of the book is easy to follow as every chapter starts with an introduction and then the theory and examples are thoroughly developed. Lastly, exercises are included at the end of each chapter. A very complete and useful list of references is used and cited throughout the book. The use of Abaqus is well documented with step-by-step instructions, screen shots showing the menus, and Python scripts.

This book will be a valuable asset for any reader dealing with modeling of composite structures using the finite element method."

Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials Dikshitulu K. Kalluri

Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB® Dikshitulu K. Kalluri

University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA

University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA

A condensed version of the author’s previously published textbook, Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB®, this book is for lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential "old-school" information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of Plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Ancillary materials are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects, internationally recognized expert Dikshitulu Kalluri clearly illustrates how intuitive approximate solutions are derived. Kalluri’s extensive experience teaching this subject enables him to streamline and convey material in a way that helps readers master conceptual mathematical aspects. The book presents the electromagnetics of bounded simple media and electromagnetic equations of complex media. The book includes MATLAB® and FDTD methods and contains case studies, homework problems, and more than 3,000 equations.

Polymers

Introduction to Polymer Science and Chemistry A Problem-Solving Approach, Second Edition Manas Chanda Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

“Professor Chanda’s book provides comprehensive coverage of polymer science, with emphasis on quantitative aspects. Worked problems illustrate important concepts and provide the path toward solution in a clear manner. Traditional chain and step growth are covered along with the latest polymerization methods, including ATRP, RAFT, and other polymerization methods.”

—Kenneth J. Wynne, Virginia Commonwealth University

Industry and academia remain fascinated with the diverse properties and applications of polymers.

However, most introductory books on this enormous and important field do not stress practical problem solving or include recent advances, which are critical for the modern polymer scientist-to-be. Updating the popular first edition of "the polymer book for the new millennium," this volume seamlessly integrates exploration of the fundamentals of polymer science and polymer chemistry. It is peppered with helpful questions and answers throughout to enhance understanding of presented theories and concepts.
