Book SynopsisThree-dimensional molded interconnect devices (MIDs) enable mechanical, electronic, optical, thermal and fluidic functions to be integrated into injection-molded components. Function integration on this scale goes hand in hand with a high level of geometrical design freedom and opportunities for miniaturization, plus the associated reduction in weight and savings on product costs. MIDs are made primarily of recyclable thermoplastics, so they are more environmentally compatible than alternatives produced using other available technologies.MIDs are used in virtually every sector of electronics. The many standard applications for MIDs in the automotive industry in particular also drive for further development and research into MID technology. The significance of MID technology is also increasing in medical engineering, IT and telecommunications and in industrial automation, with numerous applications now successfully implemented in all these various fields.This book offers a comprehensive insight into the state of the art in 3D-MID technology along the entire process chain. Individual chapters, moreover, deal with systematics of targeted development of MID parts and explore, with a dozen and more successful series-production applications as examples, the widely diverse fields of application for MID technology.

Book SynopsisRecent advances in polymer science have made it possible to relate quantitatively molecular structure to rheological behavior. At the same time, new methods of synthesis and characterization allow the preparation and structural verification of samples having a range of branched polymeric structures. This book unites this knowledge to enable production of polymers with prescribed processability and end-product properties.Methods of polymer synthesis and characterization are described, starting from fundamentals. The foundations of linear viscoelasticity are introduced, and then the linear behavior of entangled polymers is described in detail. This is followed by a discussion of the molecular modeling of linear behavior. Tube models for both linear and branched polymers are presented. The final two chapters deal with nonlinear rheological behavior and tube models to describe nonlinearity.In this second edition, each chapter has been significantly rewritten to account for recent advances in experimental methods and theoretical modeling. It includes new and updated material on developments in polymer synthesis and characterization, computational algorithms for linear and nonlinear rheology prediction, measurement of nonlinear viscoelasticity, entanglement detection algorithms in molecular dynamics, nonlinear constitutive equations, and instabilities.Table of Contents Introduction Structure of Polymers Polymerization Reactions and Processes Linear Viscoelasticity--Fundamentals Linear Viscoelasticity--Behavior of Molten Polymers Tube Models for Linear Polymers--Fundamentals Tube Models for Linear Polymers--Advanced Topics Determination of Molecular Weight Distribution Using Rheology Tube Models for Branched Polymers Nonlinear Viscoelasticity Tube Models for Nonlinear Viscoelasticity of Linear and Branched Polymers

Book SynopsisMeasurement uncertainty is an important component of modern materials analysis: it indicates the boundaries within which the test results can be trusted. Such results are necessary for understanding of, for example, material and product tolerances and lifetimes, vital for plastic product reliability and safety.Determination of measurement uncertainty is normally quite laborious, but this book shows how the available interlaboratory test data for plastics can be used to calculate measurement uncertainty much more simply. It contains many interlaboratory test results in the fields of thermoanalysis, molar mass determination, and quantitative analysis of the composition of material, presented in tables and graphical charts, discussed in the text, and elaborated by practical examples.In addition to the evaluation by means of the presented data (top-down approach), the relationship to the bottom-up approach specified in the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is explained based on an example. Further sections deal with sampling, and the issue of whether or not the difference between analytical results is significant.

Book SynopsisBasics of Polymers: Materials and Synthesis is a major investigative tool in the design and synthesis of polymers in the modern academic and industrial fields. Materials and synthesis encompass a wide range of operations such as selection of monomer(s) and polymerization techniques for the synthesis of materials under various operating conditions. The design and synthesis of each process should therefore be based on specific features. This book highlights the diversity of approaches used in understanding polymer synthesis. This book is designed to be used as study materials for students, professionals, and professors that support their wide use on material and synthesis. It emphasizes the value of each relevant synthesis method and polymerization type, rather than complex mechanisms or the history of its development. An area of considerable interest in this book is polymer synthesis in terms of the relationship between the structure and function of monomer(s). This book is also directed toward postgraduate students and practicing engineers who wish to develop polymer synthesis.

Book SynopsisEvidence-based literature reviews can provide foundation skills in research-oriented bibliographic inquiry, with an emphasis on such review and synthesis of applicable literature. Information is gathered by surveying a broad array of multidisciplinary research publications written by scholars and researchers.This book is based on a review of about 2,000 carefully selected articles about hydroxyapatite (HA) materials from about 150 peer-review journals in both engineering and medical areas and presents itself as a typical example of evidence-based learning (EBL). HA is very unique material which has been employed equally in both engineering and medical and dental fields. In addition, the name “apatite” comes from the Greek word απατw, which means to deceive. What is actually happening inside the apatite crystal structure is based on the unique characteristics of ion exchangeability. Because of this, versatility of HA has been recognized in wide ranges, including bone-grafting substitutes, various ways to fabricate HAs, HA-based coating materials, HA-based biocomposites, scaffold materials, and drug-delivery systems.This book covers all these interesting areas involved in HA materials science and technology.

Book SynopsisIn recent years, significant developments have been made to increase the mechanical strength of steels in order to reduce the overall weight of structures, particularly in motor vehicles. Depending on the application, the increase in strength should not be at the expense of forming and in-use properties. The development of ultra-high strength steels requires a search for new trade-offs between these properties in order to optimize the final microstructure. New Advanced High Strength Steels analyzes the interactions between tensile mechanical properties and properties such as work hardening, anisotropy, resistance to rupture, fatigue life, corrosion resistance, crashworthiness, edge retention, hydrogen resistance and weldability. It also examines the links between the microstructural parameters of high-strength steels and the properties mentioned above. It highlights the metallurgical developments that have been necessary for the emergence of these new generations of steels. The book concludes with a look ahead to future developments in ultra-high strength steels.Table of ContentsForeword xiiiDavid EMBURY Introduction xviiMohamed GOUNÉ, Thierry IUNG and Jean-Hubert SCHMITT Chapter 1 Strain Hardening and Tensile Properties 1Mohamed GOUNÉ and Olivier BOUAZIZ 1.1 Introductory remarks 1 1.2 Stress/strain curve: macroscopic quantities 2 1.3 Behavior of a single-phase structure: microscopic approach 3 1.4 Strain hardening and mechanical behavior of precipitation hardened micro-alloyed steels 7 1.5 Strain hardening and mechanical behavior of martensitic steels 19 1.6 Austenitic steels Fe-0.6C-22Mn with TWIP effect 23 1.7 Multiphase quenching and partitioning steels 28 1.8 Conclusion 38 1.9 References 39 Chapter 2 Anisotropy and Mechanical Properties 43Hélène RÉGLÉ and Brigitte BACROIX 2.1 Challenges 44 2.2 Textural anisotropy and mechanical properties 46 2.3 Conclusion 61 2.4 Calculation details 62 2.5 References 67 Chapter 3 Compromise between Strength and Fracture Resistance 71Anne-Françoise GOURGUES-LORENZON and Thierry IUNG 3.1 Introduction 71 3.2 Methods for measuring the resistance to damage and fracture 71 3.3 Physical mechanisms and microstructural control of damage and fracture 80 3.4 Examples of application 89 3.5 Conclusion and outlook 99 3.6 References 100 Chapter 4 Compromise between Tensile and Fatigue Strength 103Véronique FAVIER, André GALTIER, Rémi MUNIER and Bastien WEBER 4.1 Toughness: the main cause of part failure in service 103 4.2 Fatigue: from crack initiation to failure 104 4.3 How to improve fatigue life through metallurgy? 112 4.4 Increasing role of defects in high strength steels 123 4.5 Specific treatments for fatigue performance 126 4.6 Conclusion 128 4.7 References 129 Chapter 5 High Strength Steels and Coatings 133Marie-Laurence GIORGI and Jean-Michel MATAIGNE 5.1 Introduction 133 5.2 The continuous galvanizing process 134 5.3 Selective oxidation during continuous annealing 143 5.4 Coatings on high-strength steels 149 5.5 Conclusion 160 5.6 References 161 Chapter 6 Corrosion Resistant Steels with High Mechanical Properties 167Franck TANCRET, Christine BLANC and Vincent VIGNAL 6.1 Introduction 167 6.2 General principles of corrosion/oxidation and corrosion/oxidation resistance 168 6.3 Wet corrosion resistant and high strength steels 169 6.4 Alloys resistant to hot oxidation and creep 184 6.5 Conclusion 193 6.6 References 194 Chapter 7 Crashworthiness by Steels 197Dominique CORNETTE, Pascal DIETSCH, Kevin TIHAY and Sébastien ALLAIN 7.1 Introduction and industrial issues 197 7.2 The tests in force, or how to pass from the behavior of the complete vehicle to the behavior of the material 198 7.3 Parameters influencing the material during the manufacturing process and the behavior in service 214 7.4 Adequacy between material properties and crash behavior according to the different evaluation criteria 220 7.5 Conclusion 230 7.6 References 230 Chapter 8 Cut Edge Behavior 233Stéphane GODET, Ève-Line CADOTTE and Astrid PERLADE 8.1 Introduction/problem analysis 233 8.2 Cutting processes and characteristics of the cut edge 234 8.3 Behavior of the cut edge 240 8.4 Conclusion 260 8.5 References 260 Chapter 9 The Relationship between Mechanical Strength and Hydrogen Embrittlement 263Xavier FEAUGAS and Colin SCOTT 9.1 Introduction 263 9.2 How to identify and characterize HE 264 9.3 Solubility and (apparent) diffusion coefficients of hydrogen in steels 268 9.4 Case study: embrittlement of fastener steels 276 9.5 Case study: HE of thin sheets 284 9.6 Research and perspectives 293 9.7 References 295 Chapter 10 Weldability of High Strength Steels 303Thomas DUPUY, Jessy HAOUAS and Laurent JUBIN 10.1 Introduction 303 10.2 Weldability issues 307 10.3 Solutions for a good weldability of high-strength steels 324 10.4 References 330 Appendix: A Brief Review of Steel Metallurgy 333Thierry IUNG and Jean-Hubert SCHMITT Postface: What's Next for Ultra-high Strength Steels? 373François MUDRY List of Authors 381 Index 385

Book SynopsisThis title provides the fundamental bases for developing turbulence models on rational grounds. The main different methods of approach are considered, ranging from statistical modelling at various degrees of complexity to numerical simulations of turbulence. Each of these various methods has its own specific performances and limitations, which appear to be complementary rather than competitive. After a discussion of the basic concepts, mathematical tools and methods for closure, the book considers second order closure models. Emphasis is placed upon this approach because it embodies potentials for clarifying numerous problems in turbulent shear flows. Simpler, generally older models are then presented as simplified versions of the more general second order models. The influence of extra physical parameters is also considered. Finally, the book concludes by examining large Eddy numerical simulations methods. Given the book’s comprehensive coverage, those involved in the theoretical or practical study of turbulence problems in fluids will find this a useful and informative read.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisAccompanying the present trend of engineering systems aimed at size reduction and design at microscopic/nanoscopic length scales, Mechanics of Dislocation Fields describes the self-organization of dislocation ensembles at small length scales and its consequences on the overall mechanical behavior of crystalline bodies. The account of the fundamental interactions between the dislocations and other microscopic crystal defects is based on the use of smooth field quantities and powerful tools from the mathematical theory of partial differential equations. The resulting theory is able to describe the emergence of dislocation microstructures and their evolution along complex loading paths. Scale transitions are performed between the properties of the dislocation ensembles and the mechanical behavior of the body. Several variants of this overall scheme are examined which focus on dislocation cores, electromechanical interactions of dislocations with electric charges in dielectric materials, the intermittency and scale-invariance of dislocation activity, grain-to-grain interactions in polycrystals, size effects on mechanical behavior and path dependence of strain hardening.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements ix Introduction xi Chapter 1 Continuous Dislocation Modeling 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 Lattice incompatibility 2 1.3 Burgers vector 5 1.4 Compatibility conditions 8 1.5 Dislocation fields 10 1.6 Tangential continuity at interfaces 13 1.7 Curvatures and rotational incompatibiliy 19 1.8 Incompatibility tensor 22 1.9 Conclusion 23 1.10 Problems 23 1.10.1 Discrete versus continuous modeling of crystal defects 23 1.10.2 Incompatibility in simple shear 25 1.10.3 Frank’s relation 26 1.11 Solutions 27 1.11.1 Discrete versus continuous modeling of crystal defects 27 1.11.2 Incompatibility in simple shear 28 1.11.3 Frank’s relation 29 Chapter 2 Elasto-static Field Equations 31 2.1 Introduction 31 2.2 Elasto-static solution to field equations 31 2.2.1 Stokes-Helmholtz decomposition and Poisson-type equations 32 2.2.2 Navier-type equations for compatible elastic distortion fields 34 2.3 Straight screw dislocation in a linear isotropic elastic medium 35 2.4 Straight edge dislocation in a linear isotropic elastic medium 37 2.5 Conclusion 38 2.6 Problems 39 2.6.1 Screw dislocation 39 2.6.2 Twist boundary 39 2.6.3 Tilt boundary 41 2.6.4 Zero-stress everywhere dislocation fields 41 2.7 Solutions 42 2.7.1 Screw dislocation 42 2.7.2 Twist boundary 43 2.7.3 Tilt boundary 45 2.7.4 Zero-stress everywhere dislocation fields 46 Chapter 3 Dislocation Transport 49 3.1 Introduction 49 3.2 Dislocation flux and plastic distortion rate 50 3.3 Coarse graining 52 3.4 Compatibility versus incompatibility of plasticity 54 3.5 Tangential continuity of plastic distortion rate 57 3.6 Transport equations 60 3.6.1 Small transformations 60 3.6.2 Finite transformations 62 3.7 Transport waves 64 3.7.1 Annihilation 66 3.7.2 Expansion of dislocation loops 68 3.7.3 Initiation of a Frank–Read source 69 3.8 Numerical algorithms for dislocation transport 71 3.9 Conclusion 76 3.10 Problems 76 3.10.1 Propagation of a discontinuous dislocation density 76 3.10.2 Dislocation loop expansion 78 3.10.3 Stability / instability of homogeneous dislocation distributions 79 3.10.4 Dislocation nucleation 80 3.11 Solutions 81 3.11.1 Propagation of a discontinuous dislocation density 81 3.11.2 Expansion of dislocation loops 84 3.11.3 Stability / instability of homogeneous dislocation distributions 85 3.11.4 Dislocation nucleation 86 Chapter 4 Constitutive Relations 89 4.1 Introduction 89 4.2 Dissipation 90 4.3 Pressure independence 92 4.4 Dislocation climb versus dislocation glide 93 4.5 Viscoplastic relationships 94 4.6 Coarse graining 96 4.7 Contact with conventional crystal plasticity 97 Chapter 5 Elasto-plastic Field Equations 99 5.1 Introduction 99 5.2 Fundamental field equations 99 5.3 Boundary conditions 101 5.4 Coarse graining 102 5.5 Resolution algorithm 104 5.6 Reduced field equations 105 5.6.1 Plane dislocations 107 5.7 Augmented crystal plasticity 109 5.8 Dynamics of a twist boundary 111 5.9 Conclusion 116 5.10 Problems 117 5.10.1 Helical dislocations 117 5.11 Solutions 118 5.11.1 Helical dislocations 118 Chapter 6 Case Studies 121 6.1 Introduction 121 6.2 Dislocation core structure 123 6.3 Piezoelectricity and dislocations 132 6.3.1 Coupling piezoelectricity, lattice incompatibility and transport 132 6.3.2 Piezoelectric polarization and dislocations in GaN layers 134 6.3.3 Dislocation transport and electric displacement in GaN layers 137 6.4 Intermittent plasticity 139 6.5 Effects of size on mechanical response 150 6.6 Complex loading paths 159 6.7 Strain localization 170 6.7.1 Experimental data in Al–Cu–Li alloys 171 6.7.2 Simulation results 174 Chapter 7 Review and Conclusions 181 7.1 Comparisons with conventional crystal plasticity 181 7.2 Alternative approaches 183 7.2.1 Peierls-Nabarro model 183 7.2.2 Atomistic simulations 184 7.2.3 Phase field methods 186 7.2.4 Discrete dislocation dynamics 187 7.3 Shortcomings and extensions 190 7.3.1 Fracture and disconnections 190 7.3.2 Rotational incompatibility and disclinations 191 7.3.3 Phase transformation and generalized disclinations 193 7.4 Final remarks 196 Appendix 197 Bibliography 203 Index 217

Book SynopsisUsing plant material as raw materials for construction is a relatively recent and original topic of research. This book presents an overview of the current knowledge on the material properties and environmental impact of construction materials made from plant particles, which are renewable, recyclable and easily available. It focuses on particles and as well on fibers issued from hemp plant, as well as discussing hemp concretes. The book begins by setting the environmental, economic and social context of agro-concretes, before discussing the nature of plant-based aggregates and binders. The formulation, implementation and mechanical behavior of such building materials are the subject of the following chapters. The focus is then put upon the hygrothermal behavior and acoustical properties of hempcrete, followed by the use of plant-based concretes in structures. The book concludes with the study of life-cycle analysis (LCA) of the environmental characteristics of a banked hempcrete wall on a wooden skeleton. Contents 1.

Book SynopsisIs there a fatigue limit in metals? This question is the main focus of this book. Written by a leading researcher in the field, Claude Bathias presents a thorough and authoritative examination of the coupling between plasticity, crack initiation and heat dissipation for lifetimes that exceed the billion cycle, leading us to question the concept of the fatigue limit, both theoretically and technologically. This is a follow-up to the Fatigue of Materials and Structures series of books previously published in 2011. Contents 1. Introduction on Very High Cycle Fatigue. 2. Plasticity and Initiation in Gigacycle Fatigue. 3. Heating Dissipation in the Gigacycle Regime. About the Authors Claude Bathias is Emeritus Professor at the University of Paris 10-La Defense in France. He started his career as a research engineer in the aerospace and military industry where he remained for 20 years before becoming director of the CNRS laboratory ERA 914 at the University of Compiègne in France. He has launched two international conferences about fatigue: International Conference on the Fatigue of Composite Materials (ICFC) and Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF). This new, up-to-date text supplements the book Fatigue of Materials and Structures, which had been previously published by ISTE and John Wiley in 2011. A thorough review of coupling between plasticity, crack priming, and thermal dissipation for lifespans higher than a billion of cycle has led us to question the concept of fatigue limit, from both the theoretical and technological point of view. This book will address that and more.Table of ContentsACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vii CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION ON VERY HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE 1 1.1. Fatigue limit, endurance limit and fatigue strength 1 1.2.

Book SynopsisCapillary phenomena occur in both natural and human-made systems, from equilibria in the presence of solids (grains, walls, metal wires) to multiphase flows in heterogeneous and fractured porous media. This book, composed of two volumes, develops fluid mechanics approaches for two immiscible fluids (water/air or water/oil) in the presence of solids (tubes, joints, grains, porous media). Their hydrodynamics are typically dominated by capillarity and viscous dissipation. This first volume presents the basic concepts and investigates two-phase equilibria, before analyzing two-phase hydrodynamics in discrete and/or statistical systems (tubular pores, planar joints). It then studies flows in heterogeneous and stratified porous media, such as soils and rocks, based on Darcy’s law. This analysis includes unsaturated flow (Richards equation) and two-phase flow (Muskat equations). Overall, the two volumes contain basic physical concepts, theoretical analyses, field investigations and statistical and numerical approaches to capillary-driven equilibria and flows in heterogeneous systemsTable of Contents1. Fluids, Porous Media and REV: Basic Concepts. 2. Two-Phase Physics: Surface Tension, Interfaces, Capillary Liquid / Vapor Equilibria. 3. Capillary Equilibria in Pores, Tubes and Joints. 4.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on a particular class of models (namely Multi-Mechanism models) and their applications to extensive experimental data base related to different kind of materials. These models (i) are able to describe the main mechanical effects in plasticity, creep, creep/plasticity interaction, ratcheting extra-hardening under non-proportional loading (ii) provide local information (such us local stress/strain fields, damage, ….). A particular attention is paid to the identification process of material parameters. Moreover, finite element implementation of the Multi-Mechanism models is detailed.Table of ContentsPreface xi Introduction xiii Chapter 1. State of the Art 1 1.1.

Book SynopsisThis volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, properties and the assumptions involved in its calculation. In developing the practical application of these concepts, the forms of shock most often used with test facilities are presented together with their characteristics and indications of how to establish test configurations comparable with those in the real, measured environment. This is followed by a demonstration of how to meet these specifications using standard laboratory equipment – shock machines, electrodynamic exciters driven by a time signal or a response spectrum – with a discussion on the limitations, advantages and disadvantages of each method.Table of ContentsForeword to Series xiii Introduction xvii List of Symbols xix Chapter 1.
