Springer Nature Switzerland AG Engineered Cementitious Composites for
Book SynopsisThis book describes the development of an innovative solution for electrified roadway pavements based on engineered cementitious composites, which are exhibiting an extreme tensile strain capacity that is much higher than conventional concrete. This enables the pavement to work without steel reinforcement and to embed a dynamic wireless power transfer technology for charging electric vehicles. At first, the book presents a modified performance-driven design approach to improve the composites to achieve the optimum pavement design in terms of functional and structural performance. It shows that the modified composites can be used to fulfil the safety and comfort factors without neglecting the characteristics of conventional ones. Further, 3D finite element and fluid dynamics models are used to analyse the pavement properties. The validated models can predict the functional performance, including skid resistance, surface water drainage, and noise. In the remaining part of the thesis, an environmentally-friendly photocatalytic function for pavement made of engineered cementitious composites is investigated. In turn, a multi-criteria design analysis is proposed to identify the optimum functional performance of the pavements. All in all, this book reports on a comprehensive approach to design, analyse and optimize engineered cementitious composites for electrified road pavement application. A special emphasis is given on applications in Singapore and other tropical megacities.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Electro-mobility solution towards the ultimate public transport system with a case study of Singapore.- State of the Art: Engineered Cementitious Composites Precast Ultra-Thin Whitetopping (ECC-PUTW).- State of the Art: Functional Performance of Pavement.- Multi Criteria Decision Analysis on the Functional Performance of Pavement.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Expedition into the Nanoworld: An Exciting Voyage
Book SynopsisThe story of microscopy over the years is one of wonder, revelation, and even love. What better words could there be to describe the amazing things that we have been able to see, learn and accomplish thanks to the progress made in this field? A love story between a pieace of glass and the rainbow with an original soundtrack mad of poetry and music. From Galilei’s initial foray into basic optical microscopy, including the Camillo Golgi and Giuliano Toraldo di Francia lessons, to such later developments as time-resolved microscopy, multi-photon microscopy and three-dimensional microscopy to innovations such as optical nanoscopy, bioimaging and super resolution imaging, the book seeks to take the reader, be they scientist or layperson, on a journey through the evolution of the microscope and its many uses, including in the field of medicine. The author uses visible light as a through-line to unite the various chapters, as well as using fluorescence as a touchpoint from which to map the changes in the science, a significant choice, as it, along with label-free approaches and the addition of artificial intelligence, form the natural environment for development of the modern multi-messenger microscope towards bioimaging at the nanoscale.Table of Contents1. A Curious premise"My grandma was a beautiful woman...". This chapter tells about the motivation to decide to do research in life and why with the optical microscope. 2. Just observe!The optical microscope to observe living systems, from organs to proteins. The challenge from its invention to "tomorrow" to decipher cancer and neurological disorders. 3.The colours of the rainbowWe all live under the rainbow, colours are delivering the energy needed to explore the living by watching. 4. The sharpener of the lightWhen a curved piece of glass meets the light allows to see those fine dietails hidden to the eyes. 5. A three-dimensional worldFlatlandia is a novel, the real world is developed along three spatial dimensions and the optical microscope can produce three-dimensional animated "postcard" by simply changing the lens focus when observing around. 6. Modern times: the space and time of observationsTime is the fourth dimension that increases the budget of information at our disposal to understand what's going on at different time time and space scales. 7. Two photon are better than oneQuantum mechanics allows to start a joyful revolution in optical microscopy with relevant implicantions in medicine and biology. Two photon is a unique entity. 8. Super eyes to see beyond physical limitsLaws of physics limit the perfomances of the light microscope. No doubts. The image reconstrution channel has no limits if you are able to add information and the optical microscope an unlimited super power to visualize details. 9. Without a netNow is time to remove the net. We are skilled enough. So lets control the shape of light to get information without fluorescent labes. 10. The liquid microscope of the futureIllumination produces multiple messages tuning across time and space scales and artificial intelligence can merge them to deciphering nature. Liquid tunable microscopy could provide the opportunity to see things differently and to change our point of view, abandoning the obsession of representing the “real world” we have in mind when forming an image. Lets see further!11. Pop microscopy"Grown-ups never understand anything on their own, and it is tiring for children to always have to give them explanations. "We use nice images to bring you to instruments and applications like in a pop song that people whistle in the shower. 12.

Springer International Publishing AG Elements of Classical Plasticity Theory
Book SynopsisThis monograph provides a compact introduction into the classical, i.e. rate-independent, plasticity theory. Starting from the engineering stress-strain diagram, the concept of elastic and elasto-plastic material behavior is introduced, as well as the concept of uniaxial and multiaxial stress states. Continuum mechanical modeling in the elasto-plastic range requires, in regards to the constitutive equation, in addition to the elastic law (e.g. Hooke’s law), a yield condition, a flow rule and a hardening rule. These basic equations are thoroughly introduced and explained for one-dimensional stress states. Considering three-dimensional plasticity, different sets of stress invariants to characterize the stress matrix and the decomposition of the stress matrix in its hydrostatic and deviatoric part are introduced. Furthermore, the concept of the yield condition, flow rule and hardening rule is generalized for multiaxial stress states. Some typical yield conditions are introduced and their graphical representation in different stress spaces is discussed in detail. The book concludes with an introduction in the elasto-plastic finite element simulation of mechanical structures. In the context of numerical approximation methods, the so-called predictor-corrector methods are used to integrate the constitutive equations. This is again introduced in detail based on one-dimensional stress states and afterwards generalized to the three-dimensional case.

Springer International Publishing AG Lectures on Phase Field
Book SynopsisThis open access textbook fills a gap, in that it introduces readers to the theory and applications of the Phase-Field technique. Phase Field, over the years, has emerged as a standard tool for materials research, just as the Finite-Element technique has in structure mechanics. Whereas the few existing textbooks on this topic are intended for advanced readers, this one is made accessible to the widest possible audience, through an engaging, lecture format. The content grows out of a course the authors teach for graduate students at Ruhr-University Bochum. Even readers who may, at first, have no clue at all what a “Phase Field” is and for what it is used, are invited on a journey from general physics of thermodynamics and wave mechanics, through applications in all fields of materials science, up to the central questions of physical being. On this journey all the necessary techniques are detailed, mostly formulated in a mathematical language easily understood by engineers and natural scientists.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Analytics.- Capillarity.- Temperature.- Concentration,- Multi-phase-field approach.- Stress–strain and fluid flow.- Quantum phase field.- OpenPhase.- OpenPhase examples.

Springer International Publishing AG Characterisation of the Mechanical Properties of
Book SynopsisDuring heat treatment in dairy production, the rapid formation of heat-induced fouling deposits on the plant surface leads to reduced efficiency of heat transfer. Therefore, a regular cleaning process is required to soften the heat-induced protein deposits and then remove them from the plant surface. The mechanical property of the deposits is one of the key issues of the cleaning mechanisms since the non-fractured behaviour dominates the deformation of the fouling layer and the failure behaviour has a great impact on the cohesive removal of fouling deposits. Considering the complicated geometry of fouling deposits and their irregular distribution, indentation experiments were carried out on various kinds of protein deposits. The experimental results reveal the significant influence of the thickness of fouling deposits on their mechanical behaviour and the time-dependent nonlinear behaviour of the deposits.Furthermore, heat-induced whey protein gel was used as the model material for fouling deposits and the non-fractured and fracture behaviour was characterized using compression and wire cutting experiments, respectively. The material parameters identified using the inverse finite element method allow the prediction of fracture behaviour under localized external loads and provide a deeper insight into cohesive removal. To investigate the softening effect during caustic washing, tensile experiments were conducted on chemically treated and untreated whey protein gels. Adequate chemical degradation leads to a softer mechanical response and increased stress relaxation, making whey protein gels more flowable and more resistant to tensile deformation. The experimental results provide useful data on the failure behaviour of chemically treated whey protein gels.Table of Contents1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation 1.2 Aim of the present work 1.3 Outline 2 Background of cleaning in place 2.1 Heat treatment in the dairy production 2.2 Fouling and cleaning in the dairy production 2.2.1 Heat-induced formation of fouling deposits 2.2.2 The use of whey protein for experimental studies 2.2.3 Cleaning process for the fouled heating surface 2.3 The influence factors of cleaning in place 2.4 Cleaning mechanisms on the mechanical properties of protein deposits 3 Mechanical behaviour of heat-induced deposits 3.1 Mechanical behaviour of fouling deposits 3.1.1 Fouling experiments with raw milk and whey protein solution 3.1.2 Realisation of quasi-static and dynamic indentation experiments 3.1.3 Comparison of mechanical responses between milk and whey protein deposits 3.1.4 Influences of heat treatment on the mechanical behaviour of fouling deposits 3.2 Mechanical behaviour of whey protein gel 3.2.1 Gelation of whey protein solution with different heating conditions 3.2.2 Characterisation of fracture behaviour of WPG 3.2.3 Degradation of the WPG samples with NaOH solution 3.2.4 Characterisation of failure behaviour of WPG 4 Constitutive modelling and numerical simulation 69 4.1 Kinematics and balance equations 4.1.1 Kinematics of deformation 4.1.2 Stress tensors 4.1.3 Balance equations 4.2 Constitutive equations for protein deposits 4.2.1 One-dimensional generalised Maxwell model 4.2.2 Three-dimensional visco-hyperelastic model 4.2.3 Parameter identification through inverse finite element method 4.2.4 Application of modelling approaches 5 Conclusion and Outlook
