APPLIED THERMAL MEASUREMENTS AT THE NANOSCALE

Frontier Research in Computation and Mechanics of Materials and Biology - Vol 3

A Beginner’s Guide to Electrothermal Methods

by Xiaoming Zhou & Gengkai Hu (Beijing Institute of Technology, China)

This book can serve as a practical guide for novices to design and conduct measurements of thermal properties at the nanoscale using electrothermal techniques. An outgrowth of the authors’ tutorials for new graduate students in their own labs, it includes practical details on measurement design and selection, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, and pitfalls and verifications. The information is particularly helpful for a novice setting up their own experiment for the first time.

ACOUSTIC METAMATERIALS AND WAVE CONTROL

The book starts with a simple mass-in-mass chain model to illustrate the concept of negative mass due to internal resonance and its impact on wave transmission. The practical transformation theory for controlling acoustic waves is explained. Pentamode acoustic metamaterials and related cloaking design are also included. Finally, the book ends up with the sub-diffraction-limited acoustic imaging based on metamaterials. Readership: Researchers, academics, professionals and graduate students in mechanical engineering, condensed matter physics, new materials, classical mechanics and applied physics. 300pp 978-981-4641-68-5

Theory and Practice

(2nd Edition)

edited by Kenneth Horch & Daryl Kipke (University of Utah, USA)

edited by Dimitrios Stamatialis (University of Twente, The Netherlands)

The current volume is shorter than its predecessor. This has been achieved by reducing some of the repetition present in certain chapters of the earlier edition and eliminating a few chapters whose topics are now well covered in review literature readily available on the internet and elsewhere. Two chapters have been retained in their original versions to provide important background material, but the remaining chapters have either been revised by their original authors or replaced by new versions written by different authors. In addition new topics have been added to the section on existing systems.

The compendium consists of 11 chapters, written by world renowned experts in the fields of membrane technology, biomaterials science and technology, cell biology, medicine and engineering. Every chapter describes the clinical needs and the materials, membranes, and concepts required for the successful development of the (bio)artificial organs.

BEAM AND PLATE THEORIES

A New Look at Timoshenko-Ehrenfest and Uflyand-Mindlin Equations by Isaac Elishakoff (Florida Atlantic University, USA)

NONLINEAR WAVES IN BOUNDED MEDIA

http://www.worldscientific.com/jmm

The Mathematics of Resonance

by Michael P Mortell (University College Cork, Ireland) & Brian R Seymour (University of British Columbia, Canada)

Editor-in-Chief

This unique book aims to treat a class of nonlinear waves that are reflected from the boundaries of media of finite extent. It involves both standing (unforced) waves and resonant oscillations due to external periodic forcing. The waves are both hyperbolic and dispersive. To achieve this aim, the book develops the necessary understanding of linear waves and the mathematical techniques of nonlinear waves before dealing with nonlinear waves in bounded media. The examples used come mainly from gas dynamics, water waves and viscoelastic waves.

Multiscale Modelling is a relatively new research field which has in a short time had a significant impact on many scientific and engineering disciplines including material science, fluid dynamics, chemistry, and biology. In these areas problems are often multiphysics and have important features at multiple scales, particularly multiple spatial scales. Multiscale Modelling is an international peer-reviewed journal that presents forefront fundamental works in the above field of research. It features timely scientific reports of advances in modelling and computation, theoretical breakthroughs and also contains interesting review articles about emerging issues. Multiscale Modelling provides a common platform for exchange of views and presentation of original papers (theoretical, computational and experimental) with a general emphasis on Multiscale issues in this rapidly developing field. Papers reporting advancement of the theory and applications of single scale problems (i.e. Nano, Micro, etc.) which pave the way for multiscale implementation are also appropriate for the journal. Research areas of interest include for example multiscale modelling and computation in: composite and polymer materials, crystalline microstructures, nanomaterials, opto electronics for the development of materials with particular optical, magnetic and electrical properties, flow through porous media, dendritic solidification, turbulent transport in high Reylonds number flows, spray combustion, large-scale molecular dynamic simulation, environmental applications such as separation of gas, toxicological properties, environmental impact, chemistry and biological systems Abstracting/Indexing: Academic OneFile | Baidu | Chemical Abstracts Service | CNKI | CnpLINKer | Compendex | CrossRef | Ebsco Discovery Service | EBSCO Electronic Journal Service (EJS) | Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) | ExLibris Primo Central | Google Scholar | INSPEC | J-Gate | Naver | National Science and Technology Libraries (NSTL) | OCLC WorldCat® | The Summon® Service

Stability and Structures AN INTRODUCTION TO MATRIX STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND FINITE ELEMENT METHODS

by Jean H Prévost & Serguei Bagrianski (Princeton)

As an expert in structure and stress analysis, the author has written extensively on functionally graded materials (FGMs), nonlinear vibration and dynamic response of functionally graded material plates in thermal environments, buckling and postbuckling analysis of singlewalled carbon nanotubes in thermal environments. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the author’s works which include significant contributions to the postbuckling behavior of plates and shells under different loading and environmental conditions.

This comprehensive volume is unique in presenting the typically decoupled fields of Matrix Structural Analysis (MSA) and Finite Element Methods (FEM) in a cohesive framework. MSA is used not only to derive formulations for truss, beam, and frame elements, but also to develop the overarching framework of matrix analysis. FEM builds on this foundation with numerical approximation techniques for solving boundary value problems in steady-state heat and linear elasticity.
