Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2016 International Conference on Material Engineering and Application (ICMEA 2016), August 19-21, 2016, Hongkong, Chaina

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2014 International Conference on Material Engineering and Application, (ICMEA 2014), October 18-19, 2014, Hangzhou, China

Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

The book features the scientific work on materials science presented at the International Conference on Energy, Materials and Information Technology, 2017 at Amity University Jharkhand, India. It highlights all aspects of materials, from synthesis to innovative applications, and from physical characterizations to cost-effectiveness. It also covers essential and state-of-the-art research work on various engineering materials with important physical characteristics. This multidisciplinary book is aimed at scientists, academics, research scholars and students from all areas who are interested in understanding the current research in the field of materials science.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS). Innovation in Materials Science - 2 reinforces the adage of John Dismukes that, “Scientific Technology” has progressively displaced “Empirical Technology”, as the primary driver and basis for increasing economic development over the last four centuries. Technical inventions, and innovations based upon technical ideas, remain the basic drivers for wealth-creation. However, the areas of current materials research have changed considerably between 2008, when the first volume was published, and now (2012). The collection of articles in Volume 2 reflects this change. An index of the articles published in the earlier collection, Innovation in Materials Science (2008 doi:10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.380) is also provided in order to comprehend the considerable changes which have occurred in the landscape of materials research over the past four years.

This book has an important role in advancing non-classical materials on the macro and nanoscale. The book provides original, theoretical, and important experimental results. Some research uses non-routine methodologies often unfamiliar to some readers. Furthermore, papers on novel applications of more familiar experimental techniques and analyses o

This book provides an invaluable reference of materials engineering written for a broad audience in an engaging, effective way. Several stories explain how perseverance and organized research helps to discover new processes for making important materials and how new materials with unmatched properties are theoretically conceived, tested in the laboratory, mass produced and deployed for the benefit of all. This book provides a welcome introduction to how advances are made in the world of materials that sustain and define our contemporary standard of living. Suitable for trained materials scientists and the educated layman with an appreciation of engineering, the book will be especially appealing to the young materials engineer, for whom it will serve as a long-term reference due to its clear and rigorous illustration of the field's essential features.

Minimizing theoretical background and mathematical formalism, Image Analysis sets forth the basic principles of image acquisition, enhancement, measurements, and interpretation in a very simple form, focused on applications and the properties of available tools. The author lists different tasks and offers complete solutions to these tasks based on his extensive experience with the procedures described. The book provides a multitude of illustrations, drawings, and bitmaps and serves as an outstanding resource for specialists using image analysis equipment, including technicians and students.
