  • Ageing Mechanisms and Kinetics of Composite

    ISTE Ltd Ageing Mechanisms and Kinetics of Composite

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe main objective of this book is to provide to mechanical scientists and engineers the kinetic modeling tools necessary for predicting the damage state of organic composite matrices submitted to hydrolytic and oxidative ageing. These tools are derived from the degradation mechanisms and their validity is successfully checked from many experimental data. They can be interfaced with existing or under development computer codes for predicting the lifetime of composite structures. Particular attention is paid to the relationships between damage state and use properties in view of defining structural end-of-life criteria. For this purpose the book is divided into three main parts. The first one is devoted to the presentation of the common aspects to all types of chemical degradation processes. Emphasis is put on specific aspects of composite structures, such as the role of interphase/interface or the anisotropy of reagent diffusion, but also on current issues in the field of material ageing such as the study of multiphysics couplings. The second part is focused on humid ageing. Physical processes linked to plasticization and swelling, are distinguished from chemical processes in particular from the matrix hydrolysis and its resulting damages at the microstructural scale (osmotic cracking, blistering, etc.). The third part concerns thermal ageing. The ultimate objective is to predict the consequences of thermal oxidation on thermomechanical properties of organic composite matrices, in particular on their glass transition temperature and elastic and fracture properties. In each part, the kinetic approach is illustrated by several practical examples.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1) Common aspects in composite ageing 2) Humid ageing 3) Thermal ageing Conclusion

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn 1984, additive manufacturing represented a new methodology for manipulating matter, consisting of harnessing materials and/or energy to create three-dimensional physical objects. Today, additive manufacturing technologies represent a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with an annual growth between 20 and 30%. Different processes, materials and dimensions (from nanometer to decameter) within additive manufacturing techniques have led to 70,000 publications on this topic and to several thousand patents with applications as wide-ranging as domestic uses. Volume 1 of this series of books presents these different technologies with illustrative industrial examples. In addition to the strengths of 3D methods, this book also covers their weaknesses and the developments envisaged in terms of incremental innovations to overcome them.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Foreword xi Preface xv Introduction xxix Part 1 From Spectacular Applications to the Economic Market of Additive Manufacturing 1 Introduction to Part 1 3 Chapter 1 Some Significant Examples 7 1.1 Introduction 8 1.2 Maritime, military, aerial and spatial applications 11 1.3 Conception: art and new domestic applicative niches 14 1.3.1 Art and additive manufacturing 17 1.3.2 Archaeology, museum restoration, reproduction 19 1.3.3 Construction sector 21 1.4 Mechanical parts 23 1.5 Land transport 28 1.6 The question of spare parts 32 1.7 Toys for the young and the “not-so-young” 33 1.8 “Traditional” medical applications 34 1.9 Animation 39 1.10 Scientific applications 40 1.10.1 Optics 40 1.10.2 Chemical and process engineering 41 1.10.3 Complex structures 42 1.10.4 Toward the infinitely small 43 1.11 Nanometric origami 45 1.12 Conclusion 47 1.13 Bibliography 49 Chapter 2 Integration of Additive Manufacturing Technologies into Society 69 2.1 Introduction 70 2.2 Markets and application domains of 3D printing 72 2.2.1 Markets 72 2.2.2 Principal application niches 76 2.3 Growth dynamics 80 2.4 Studies on the dynamic of growth 84 2.4.1 Convergence 84 2.4.2 “Attractiveness” of additive manufacturing technologies 87 2.4.3 Possible positioning of the industry 132 2.5 Toward a certain stabilization: The dynamics of innovation 140 2.6 Conclusion 146 2.7 Bibliography 152 Part 2 3D Processes 175 Introduction to Part 2 177 Chapter 3 Processes, Machines and Materials 181 3.1 Introduction 183 3.2 Stereolithography 188 3.2.1 History of 2D1/2 processes 188 3.2.2 Other techniques developed since 1984 191 3.2.3 Light–matter interaction and space-resolved polymerization 193 3.2.4 Consequences 197 3.2.5 Families of materials used 201 3.2.6 Layer implementation 207 3.2.7 Coupling of polymerized surface generation and volumetric reduction 207 3.3 Process of wire fusion 207 3.3.1 FDM or FFF materials 211 3.3.2 Adhesion 212 3.3.3 Synthesis 214 3.4 Sheet or powder gluing process 215 3.4.1 Bi-material process (SDL) 215 3.4.2 Variant using powders: 3DP Process 217 3.4.3 Process using a cross-linkable polymer (SIR, for “Soluble/Insoluble Reaction”) 218 3.4.4 Synthesis 223 3.5 Powder fusion/sintering 225 3.5.1 Materials 227 3.5.2 Energy sources 228 3.5.3 Physicochemical aspects and constraints linked to the process 228 3.5.4 Simultaneous contribution of matter and energy 233 3.5.5 MPA process 235 3.5.6 Synthesis 236 3.6 Conclusion 238 3.7 Bibliography 245 Conclusion 265 Index 275

  • The State of Creativity: The Future of 3D

    Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The State of Creativity: The Future of 3D

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisCreativity has been integral to the development of the modern State, and yet it is becoming increasingly sidelined, especially as a result of the development of new machinic technologies including 3D printing. Arguing that inner creativity has been endangered by the rise of administrative regulation, James Griffin explores a number of reforms to ensure that upcoming regulations do take creativity into account. The State of Creativity examines how the State has become distanced from individual processes of creativity. This book investigates how the failure to incorporate creativity into administrative regulation is, in fact, adversely impacting the regulation of new technologies such as 3D and 4D printing and augmented reality, by focusing on issues concerning copyright and patents.This is an important read for intellectual property law scholars, as well as those studying computer science who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding of the current laws surrounding digital technologies such as 3D printing in our modern world. Legal practitioners wanting to remain abreast of developments surrounding 3D printing will also benefit from this book.Trade Review'This book discusses how emerging technologies link to innovation and creativity that can bring immense benefits to society, and stresses how legal systems (e.g., copyright) can help motivate and protect such development. I recommend the book to all technology enthusiasts who are keen on applying cutting-edge technology and knowledge.' --Hing Kai Chan, University of Nottingham Ningbo China'This book is a very original account of the importance of creativity within society. James Griffin has incorporated a wide range of materials and subjects to develop and establish his core argument that creativity is critical to the future of humanity. The book should be a primary reference for regulators, policymakers and researchers considering legal reforms, especially for 3D printing.' --Onyeka Osuji, University of Essex, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

    Book SynopsisDioramas are invariably associated with scale models, providing a setting or background for a completed kit, though arguably the scenery and buildings on a model railway layout is essentially, a very large diorama. The techniques and materials used are much the same whether you wish to create a landscape through which the track of a classic English branch line will run or a smaller base displaying a Hawker Hurricane being readied for take-off, a Panther tank stuck in the mud of a battlefield or a Monte Carlo Mini in the snow. This book shows how you can create interesting dioramas irrespective as to what you are modelling. It looks at the materials required for building dioramas, primarily tools, paints and glues. Similar skills and techniques are required to create everything from simple bases that contain only a few items, to larger structures that need far more work and effort in their creation. It covers the materials that can be used to create earth, vegetation and water - from se

    Book Synopsis1. Systemanalyse: Eine Einführung 1. 0 Überblick Unsere Wirklichkeit wird nicht so sehr geprägt durch die Einzelfunktionen ihrer vielen Bestandteile, sondern vielmehr durch deren Zusammenwirken. Manche Kom­ ponenten wirken stark aufeinander, andere nur schwach, weitere schließlich haben überhaupt nichts miteinander zu tun. Wir verwenden das Wort 'System', um damit eine Anzahl von Bestandteilen abzugrenzen, die untereinander relativ stark, mit ihrer gemeinsamen Systemumwelt aber nur relativ schwach interagieren und das so, daß man dem beobachteten Verhalten dieses Systems einen 'Zweck' zuordnen kann. Bei näherer Betrachtung ist unsere Realität voll solcher Systeme, und sogar voller Sy­ steme von Systemen: Menschen, Tiere, Pflanzen, Ökosysteme, Maschinen, Fabriken, Städte, Staaten. Um die Rolle der Systemanalyse zu diskutieren, befassen wir uns hier beispielhaft mit den komplexesten dieser Systeme: mit natürlichen Systemen (Orga­ nismen und Ökosystemen). Im Laufe der Evolution haben nur diejenigen natürlichen Systeme überleben können, denen es gelungen ist, Systemprozesse zu entwickeln, die ihre Erhaltung sichern, d. h. , die die Fähigkeit erworben haben, auch unter schwierigen und unerwarteten Bedin­ gungen zu überleben. Allerdings sind die meisten natürlichen Systeme nicht in der Lage, erfolgreich mit den schweren Störungen fertigzuwerden, die ihnen durch den hohen Ressourcenverbrauch und die Umweltbelastungen der modernen Gesell­ schaften aufgezwungen werden. Um die Zerstörung der ökologischen Basis und der natürlichen Ressourcen zu vermeiden, müssen wir lernen, diese Systeme in ihrem Verhalten besser zu verstehen und die Folgen unserer Handlungen zuverlässig abzu­ schätzen. Das Werkzeug für diese Aufgabe ist die Systemanalyse.Table of Contents0. Überblick und Vorbemerkungen.- 1. Systemanalyse: Eine Einführung.- 2. Grundwissen der Modellbildung und Simulation.- 3.
