It is only in the past few years that metal-matrix composites (MMCs) using a light-metal matrix have been successfully used in the automotive and transportation industry, such as partly fiber-reinforced pistons and hybrid reinforced crankcases. These materials also find applications in the aerospace industry. Since the characteristics of MMCs can be incorporated as desired within the material, they represented tailor-made working materials for industrial designers. Written by experienced practitioners from the field, this book presents the current state of developments using MMCs as structural and functional materials, making it a vital reference for all materials scientists and engineers wishing to learn of the potential for MMCs in R&D as well as design.Content: Chapter 1 Grundlagen der Metallmatrix?Verbundwerkstoffe (pages 1-65): Prof. Dr. K.

Mechanical Characterization of Materials and Wave Dispersion: Instrumentation and Experiment Interpretation By
2010 | 477 Pages | ISBN: 1848211937 | PDF | 14 MB
Over the last 50 years, the methods of investigating dynamic properties have resulted in significant advances. This book explores dynamic testing, the methods used, and the experiments performed, placing a particular emphasis on the context of bounded medium elastodynamics. Dynamic tests have proven to be as efficient as static tests and are often easier to use at lower frequency. The discussion is divided into four parts. Part A focuses on the complements of continuum mechanics. Part B concerns the various types of rod vibrations: extensional, bending, and torsional. Part C is devoted to mechanical and electronic instrumentation, and guidelines for which experimental set-up should be used are given. Part D concentrates on experiments and experimental interpretations of elastic or viscolelastic moduli. In addition, several chapters contain practical examples alongside theoretical discussion to facilitate the readers understanding. The results presented are the culmination of over 30 years of research by the authors and as such will be of great interest to anyone involved in this field.Content: Chapter 1 Guidelines for Choosing the Experimental Set?up (pages 1-11): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 2 Review of Industrial Analyzers for Material Characterization (pages 13-24): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 3 Mechanical Part of the Vibration Test Bench (pages 25-42): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 4 Exciters and Excitation Signals (pages 43-76): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 5 Transducers (pages 77-117): Jean Tuong Vinh and Michel NuguesChapter 6 Electronic Instrumentation, Connecting Precautions and Signal Processing (pages 119-153): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 7 The Frequency Hilbert Transform and Detection of Hidden Non?linearities in Frequency Responses (pages 155-186): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 8 Measurement of Structural Damping (pages 187-208): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 9 Torsion Test Benches: Instrumentation and Experimental Results (pages 209-253): Michel NuguesChapter 10 Bending Vibration of Rod Instrumentation and Measurements (pages 255-270): Dominique Le NizheryChapter 11 Longitudinal Vibration of Rods: Material Characterization and Experimental Dispersion Curves (pages 271-303): Yvon Chevalier and Jean Tuong VinhChapter 12 Realization of Le Rolland?Sorin's Double Pendulum and Some Experimental Results (pages 305-333): Mostefa Archi and Jean?Baptiste CasimirChapter 13 Stationary and Progressive Waves in Rings and Hollow Cylinders (pages 335-365): Yvon Chevalier and Jean Tuong VinhChapter 14 Ultrasonic Benches: Characterization of Materials by Wave Propagation Techniques (pages 367-395): Patrick GarceauChapter 15 Wave Dispersion in Rods with a Rectangular Cross?Section: Higher Order Theory and Experimentation (pages 397-452): Maurice Touratier

Measuring Colour, Fourth Edition By R. W. G. Hunt, M. R. Pointer(auth.), Michael A. Kriss(eds.)
2011 | 479 Pages | ISBN: 1119975379 | PDF | 11 MB
The classic authority on colour measurement now fully revised and updated with the latest CIE recommendations The measurement of colour is of major importance in many commercial applications, such as the textile, paint, and foodstuff industries; as well as having a significant role in the lighting, paper, printing, cosmetic, plastics, glass, chemical, photographic, television, transport, and communication industries. Building upon the success of earlier editions, the 4th edition of Measuring Colour has been updated throughout with new chapters on colour rendering by light sources; colorimetry with digital cameras; factors affecting the appearance of coloured objects, and details of new CIE colour appearance models. Key features: Presents colour measurement, not simply as a matter of instrumentation and engineering, but also involving the physiology and psychology of the human observer. Covers the principles of colour measurement rather than a guide to instruments. Provides the reader with the basic facts needed to measure colour. Describes and explains the interactions between how colour is affected by the type of lighting, by the nature of the objects illuminated, and by the properties of the colour vision of observers. Includes many worked examples, and a series of Appendices provides the numerical data needed in many colorimetric calculations. The addition of 4th edition co-author, Dr. Pointer, has facilitated the inclusion of extensive practical advice on measurement procedures and the latest CIE recommendations.Content: Chapter 1 Colour Vision (pages 1-17): Chapter 2 Spectral Weighting Functions (pages 19-40): Chapter 3 Relations Between Colour Stimuli (pages 41-72): Chapter 4 Light Sources (pages 73-97): Chapter 5 Obtaining Spectral Data and Tristimulus Values (pages 99-115): Chapter 6 Metamerism and Colour Constancy (pages 117-142): Chapter 7 Colour Rendering by Light Sources (pages 143-154): Chapter 8 Colour Order Systems (pages 155-195): Chapter 9 Precision and Accuracy in Colorimetry (pages 197-217): Chapter 10 Fluorescent Colours (pages 219-230): Chapter 11 RGB Colorimetry (pages 231-240): Chapter 12 Colorimetry with Digital Cameras (pages 241-256): Chapter 13 Colorant Mixtures (pages 257-265): Chapter 14 Factors Affecting the Appearance of Coloured Objects (pages 267-292): Chapter 15 The CIE Colour Appearance Model CIECAM02 (pages 293-324): Chapter 16 Models of Colour Appearance for Stimuli of Different Sizes (pages 325-328): Chapter 17 Model of Colour Appearance for Unrelated Colours in Photopic and Mesopic Illuminances (pages 329-334):
