Book Description
Building materials are experiencing degradation phenomena due to the long-term action of the atmospheric components. The understanding of the transport characteristics in concrete is a key issue to mitigate the deleterious consequences. Conventional cement-based materials suffer from a lack of ductility. However, modern cement compositions, fiber materials and additions allow to engineer new products adjusted to the purpose. These and several key topics for modern civil engineering are discussed in this book.

Euromat 99, Microstructures, Mechanical Properties and Processes
Author: Yves Bréchet
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9783527301225
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
The relation between microstructures and mechanical properties has always been a challenge for materials science. Modelling the formation, properties and long term stability of microstructures is one of the most impressive and promising advances of modern materials science. This book presents recent advances and challenges in this fast evolving cross disciplinary field. It addresses applications of classical physical metallurgy, and the need for new modelling approaches, both on the analytical viewpoint and on the simulation side.

Euromat 99, Steels and Materials for Power Plants
Author: Peter Neumann
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN: 9783527301959
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Steels are by far the most important construction materials for many applications. Many modern concepts of materials science are being used in steels, e.g., in micro-alloyed steels minute amounts of alloying elements form nanoscale carbides to yield superior strength values. All of these mechanisms have to be controlled in the production facilities on a scale of hundreds of tons. This book addresses these new concepts for improving the efficiency of production technologies

Euromat 99, Interface Controlled Materials
Author: M. Rühle
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN: 9783527301911
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
A common feature of advanced functional materials - such as thin films, layered structures and all kinds of nanoscale materials (ultrafine powders, polycrystals, nanocomposites, nanoporous or nanotubular materials) - is that their properties are mainly influenced by the structure and composition of their surfaces and interfaces. This book discusses the processing, fabrication, structure, properties and applications of such interface-controlled materials, highlighting the problem of determining the structure and properties of these advanced materials by different techniques.

Euromat 99, Materials for Medical Engineering
Author: Harald Stallforth
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN: 9783527301232
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The innovation of new materials for implants to achieve enhanced performance and lifetimes in the body could directly leed both to quality of life for patients and opportunities for wealth creation in associated industries. Some notable examples of major clinical applications of hard-tissue implants are in total joint replacement, spinal protheses, and dental tooth roots. Other topics addressed in this book are soft tissue implants, drug release technology, and corrosion and allergies of biomaterials.

Euromat 99, Metal Matrix Composites and Metallic Foams
Author: T. W. Clyne
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
It has become clearer which types of MMC systems are entering significant industrial use and what questions concerning their production and performance are of most pressing concern. In addition, intensive attention has been directed recently to metallic foams. These can offer attractive combinations of properties, including high specific stiffness and good energy-absorbing properties, particularly under compressive loading. For both, MMCs and metallic foams, there is intense interest in processing aspects, particularly in terms of cost minimisation consistent with retention of desirable microstructural features.

Euromat 99, Intermetallics and Superalloys
Author: S. Naka
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Intermetallics are now close to the commercial application stage. TiAl-based alloys show good high-temperature specific stiffness and strength, while other intermetallics, such as the iron aluminides and silicide-based materials, are especially attractive due to their good corrosion or oxidation resistance. This book reviews activities that relate to improvements in processing methods and advances in the understanding of the property/microstructure relationship.

Euromat 99, Surface Engineering
Author: Heinz Dimigen
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN: 9783527301966
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Surface technology is a truly interdisciplinary topic in materials science. Nearly every component - no matter whether made of steel, metal, alloys, ceramics or plastic - is coated prior to its application. The integration of protective coatings into the design of complex components is becoming increasingly important and there is a great demand for novel coating processes, comprising surface modification and deposition. Modern coatings are being developed that can meet several functional requirements simultaneously, e.g., transparent and electrically conductive coatings for display applications. A special feature of this book is the section on laser surface treatment.
