Описание: Originally published in 1915, `the aim of the present book is to present the elementary principles of mechanics in accurate though clear terms and to show the application of those principles to the simpler problems arising in engineering and architectural applications`.
Описание: Providing expanded material on the restricted three body problem and celestial mechanics, the third edition has new material on reduction, orbifolds and the regularization of the Kepler problem, all with applications. It provides a mathematical structure of celestial mechanics for beginners, and will be useful to graduate students and researchers.

Описание: The book is designed to appeal to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in chemistry, materials science,and chemical engineering departments, by leading them stepwise from the elementary chemistry on which materials science depends, through a discussion of the different classes of materials, and ending with a description of how materials are used in devices and general technology. The book is divided into three sections. The first part consists of four introductory chapters - (1) What is materials chemistry? (2) Fundamental principles that underlie the subject, (3) Basic synthesis and reaction chemistry, and (4) Structure determination and special techniques for materials characterization. These chapters deal with basic chemistry that should be familiar to juniors, seniors and graduate students. At the same time this section introduces topics that the student may not have encountered before, such as materials characterization methods and principles of materials synthesis. The second section provides an introduction to the various classes of materials. Different chapters deal with small molecules in solids, organic and inorganic polymers, glasses and ceramics, metals, and with alloys and composite materials. In these chapters the aim is to show how different types of materials are produced, and why they possess specific combinations of properties. The emphasis is on the chemistry rather than the physics or engineering. In the third section the foregoing subject matter is employed to examine how different materials are used in technology. Here, the eight chapters cover important topics such as semiconductors, superconductors, solid ionic conductors, membranes, optical andphotonic materials, surface science, biomedical materials, and nanoscience and nanotechnology. These chapters bring together the principles and topics covered in the earlier chapters to illustrate how different devices make use of a wide variety of different materials, and how the technology requires an understanding of many different aspects of the field rather than a narrow focus on one specialty. The chapters in this section are meant to prepare students for careers that in many cases will be weighted toward the design and development of devices in the medical, communications, aerospace, and other advanced technology sectors. An Appendix is provided at the end of the book to explain materials-related terminology that may be unfamiliar to the student. Each chapter will contain questions for class discussions or essays.

Описание: The existence of liquid crystals has been known for nearly a centu- ry; In view of the widespread interest in liquid crystals at RCA Labo- ratories, an in-house weekly seminar devoted to the subject of liquid crystals was organized in the fall of 1973.
Описание: Jet physics is an incredibly rich subject detailing the narrow cone of hadrons and other particles produced by the hadronization of a quark or gluon in a particle physics or heavy ion experiment. This book is a general overview of jet physics for scientists not directly involved in the field. It presents the basic experimental and theoretical problems arising when dealing with jets.

Описание:
Practically every display technology in use today relies on the flat, energy-efficient construction made possible by liquid crystals.
These displays provide visually-crisp, vibrantly-colored images that a short time ago were thought only possible in science fiction. Liquid crystals are known mainly for their use in display technologies, but they also provide many diverse and useful applications: adaptive optics, electro-optical devices, films, lasers, photovoltaics, privacy windows, skin cleansers and soaps, and thermometers. The striking images of liquid crystals changing color under polarized lighting conditions are even on display in many museums and art galleries - true examples of 'science meeting art'. Although liquid crystals provide us with visually stunning displays, fascinating applications, and are a rich and fruitful source of interdisciplinary research, their full potential may yet remain untapped.

Описание:
An Introduction to High-Pressure Science and Technology provides you with an understanding of the connections between the different areas involved in the multidisciplinary science of high pressure. The book reflects the deep interdisciplinary nature of the field and its close relationship with industrial applications.
Thirty-nine specialists in high-pressure research guide you through the process of learning why pressure is considered a powerful scientific and technological tool, how pressure can be introduced into the laboratory, and which problems can be solved using this thermodynamic variable. The book presents basic thermodynamic equations and state-of-the-art computational tools. It shows how many experimental techniques, when combined with pressure, are powerful sources of information for understanding natural phenomena and reveal clear paths for the design of novel materials. The book also addresses the responses of microorganisms, Earth constituents, and icy planets to pressure.
