The accelerating rate at which new materials are appearing, and
transforming the engineering world, only serves to emphasize the
vast potential for novel material structure and related
performance. "Microstructure Sensitive Design for Performance
Optimization "(MSDPO) embodies a new methodology for systematic
design of material microstructure to meet the requirements of
design in optimal ways. Intended for materials engineers and
researchers in industry, government and academia as well as upper
level undergraduate and graduate students studying material science
and engineering, MSDPO provides a novel mathematical framework that
facilitates a rigorous consideration of the material microstructure
as a continuous design variable in the field of engineering
design.
Presents new methods and techniques for analysis and optimum
design of materials at the microstructure level.
Authors' methodology introduces spectral approaches not
available in previous texts, such as the incorporation of
crystallographic orientation as a variable in the design of
engineered components with targeted elastic properties.
Numerous illustrations and examples throughout the text help
readers grasp the concepts.
Would you like to own James Bond's Aston Martin, the Batmobile, the
General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard, or Luke Skywalker's X-Wing
fighter? You can - in miniature. A Star Car is any type of vehicle
- car, motorcycle, van, truck, bus, plane, helicopter, boat, ship,
submarine, or spacecraft - used in a film or television programme.
Many have become stars in their own right. Die-cast models of these
motor stars began to appear in the 1960s. Corgi released the James
Bond Aston Martin and the Saint's Volvo in 1965, followed by the
classic television Batmobile in 1966. Dinky soon began releasing
Gerry Anderson models, starting with Lady Penelope's pink
Rolls-Royce from Thunderbirds. The success of these initial
releases meant many more would follow. These early models were
aimed at children, and were packed with gadgets - from ejection
seats to missile launchers. Today, both toys and adult collectables
are still being produced - often from shows that aired in the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s: from the stone-age cars of The
Flintstones, to the 23rd Century spaceships of Star Trek. Until now
there has been no guide to help novice Star Car collectors build
and care for their collections. Film and Television Star Cars is
here to help, filled with collecting tips from an experienced
collector.
