Encyclopedia of Smart Materials, Five Volume Set covers materials
that have one or more property that can be significantly changed in
a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress,
temperature, moisture or pH. Whereas smart structures have the
attributes of adaptability, flexibility, and even 'intelligence',
the active materials are the enabling factors that make smart
composite structures possible. This new Major Reference Work on
smart materials provides a full and comprehensive source of
information for both researchers and practitioners on the
fundamental and recent developments in the fields of design,
development, manufacturing and application of smart materials.
Renewable Energy - Volume 1: Solar, Wind, and Hydropower:
Definitions, Developments, Applications, Case Studies, and
Modelling and Simulation is a comprehensive resource for those
wanting an authoritative volume on the significant aspects of these
rapidly growing renewable technologies. Providing a structured
approach to the emerging technologies and advances in the
implementation of solar, wind and hydro energy, the book offers the
most requested and desirable practical elements for the renewable
industry. Sections cover definitions, applications, modeling and
analysis through case study and example. This coordinated approach
allows for standalone, accessible, and functioning chapters
dedicated to a particular energy source, giving researchers and
engineers an important and unique consolidated source of
information on all aspects of these state-of-the-art fields.
Renewable Energy - Volume 2: Wave, Geothermal, and Bioenergy:
Definitions, Developments, Applications, Case Studies, and
Modelling and Simulation is the next volume in this comprehensive
resource for those wanting an extensive reference on these
specialized technologies. Providing a structured approach to the
emerging technologies and advances in implementation of Geothermal
and Biofuels systems, this reference addresses geothermal and
biofuel coverage in a logical and accessible arrangement. From
definitions to developments in technology and applications, to case
studies, modelling examples and lifecycle analysis, this book
considers the most requested and desirable practical elements of
geothermal and biofuel technologies from an applied perspective.
This coordinated approach allows for stand alone, accessible and
functioning chapters dedicated to particular energy sources. This
is a suitable reference for students and post-doctoral research
fellows working on projects related to renewable energy,
sustainability and energy system design.
