Emphasizing the static and dynamic behaviors of nanocomposite
single- or multilayered structures in the framework of continuum
mechanics-based approaches, Mechanics of Nanocomposites:
Homogenization and Analysis investigates mechanical behaviors of
polymeric matrices strengthened via various nanofillers and
nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene platelets
(GPLs), and graphene oxides (GOs). It covers equivalent properties
of nanocomposites that are obtained via homogenization techniques
based on micromechanics approaches. In addition, this comprehensive
book: Discusses the effects of various nanofillers and identifies
the amount of the improvement that can be induced in the stiffness
of the polymeric nanocomposites by adding a finite content of the
aforementioned nanosize reinforcements Magnifies the effect of the
number of the stacking plies of the multi-layered nanocomposite
structures on both static and dynamic responses of the continuous
systems manufactured from such sandwich structures Presents a wide
range of analytical and numerical solution procedures Investigates
the effects of porosity along with mechanical characteristics of
nanocomposites Considers the time-dependency of the material
properties of the viscoelastic polymeric nanocomposite structures
Performs analyses using an energy-based approach incorporated with
the strain-displacement relations of both classical and
higher-order shear deformable beam, plate, or shell theorems Aimed
at researchers, academics, and professionals working across
mechanical, materials, and other areas of engineering, this work
ensures that readers are equipped to fully understand the
mechanical characteristics of nanocomposite structures so that they
can design, develop, and apply these materials effectively.
Wave Propagation Analysis of Smart Nanostructures presents a
mathematical framework for the wave propagation problem of
small-scale nanobeams and nanoplates manufactured from various
materials, including functionally graded composites, smart
piezoelectric materials, smart magneto-electro-elastic materials,
smart magnetostrictive materials, and porous materials. In this
book, both classical and refined higher-order shear deformation
beam and plate hypotheses are employed to formulate the wave
propagation problem using the well-known Hamilton's principle.
Additionally, the influences of small-scale nanobeams on the
mechanical behaviors of nanostructures are covered using both
nonlocal elasticity and nonlocal strain gradient elasticity
theories. Impacts of various terms, such as elastic springs of
elastic foundation, damping coefficient of viscoelastic substrate,
different types of temperature change, applied electric voltage and
magnetic potential, and intensity of an external magnetic field on
the dispersion curves of nanostructures, are included in the
framework of numerous examples.

The second edition of this critical text features heavily revised
chapters detailing how to approach the anesthetic and perioperative
management of adult and pediatric patients with congenital heart
disease. Initially, a broad overview of relevant concepts in
pediatric cardiovascular embryology, physiology, and pharmacology
is provided. Subsequently, relevant diagnostic approaches including
the use of three-dimensional modeling in surgical planning and
preoperative considerations are described. The intraoperative
management of a wide range of specific lesions is discussed, with
full descriptions of anesthesia plans and the appropriate
diagnostic methods and surgical interventions. New topics detailed
include the use of hybrid techniques and applications of
electrophysiology in patients with congenital heart disease.
Postoperative care and potential future approaches are also
addressed. Congenital Heart Disease in Pediatric and Adult
Patients: Anesthetic and Perioperative Management provide a
comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the care of the pediatric
patient undergoing cardiac surgery and anesthesia. It is therefore
of interest to all practicing and trainee medical professionals who
encounter these patients in their day-to-day practice.
Mechanics of Multiscale Hybrid Nanocomposites provides a practical
and application-based investigation of both static and dynamic
behaviors of multiscale hybrid nanocomposites. The book outlines
how to predict the mechanical behavior and material characteristics
of these nanocomposites via two-step micromechanical homogenization
techniques performed in an energy-based approach that is
incorporated with the strain-displacement relations of shear
deformable beam, plate and shell theories. The effects of using
various nanofillers are detailed, providing readers with the best
methods of improving nanocomposite stiffness. Both numerical (Ritz,
Rayleigh-Ritz, etc.) and analytical (Navier, Galerkin, etc.)
solution methods are outlined, along with examples and techniques.
This book discusses the current and future impact of cellular and
molecular medicine (CMM) on anesthesiology and perioperative
medicine. It covers the topic from a translational perspective and
describes the relevance of CMM to daily clinical practice. Taking a
bench-to-bedside approach, chapters examine topics including
perioperative acute and chronic management, perioperative organ
protection, and novel pharmaceuticals. Personalized Medicine in
Anesthesia, Pain and Perioperative Medicine is aimed at
anesthesiologists and pain physicians, and will also be of interest
to pharmacists and those working in cellular and molecular
medicine.
Cardiac surgical procedures are among the most common and most
complicated forms of surgery worldwide and the postoperative period
is characterized by complex challenges. Among the factors
determining ultimate clinical outcome, postoperative critical care
is of major importance. This book adopts a clinical approach in
explaining and analyzing the course of clinical care in patients
undergoing cardiac surgery. Since the postoperative clinical status
is directly influenced by preoperative and intraoperative factors,
the early chapters briefly examine preoperative issues and the
intraoperative course of cardiac surgery, with particular attention
to anesthesia and the process of cardiopulmonary bypass. Subsequent
chapters primarily address the critical care of patients by means
of an organ-oriented approach, which will enable the reader to use
the text as a "cookbook" of cardiac intensive care. This book is
intended for use in daily practice by cardiac surgeons, cardiac
anesthesiologists, intensivists and cardiac intensive care nurses.
Congenital Heart Disease in Pediatric and Adult Patients:
Anesthetic and Perioperative Management provides a comprehensive,
up-to-date overview of care of the pediatric patient undergoing
cardiac surgery and anesthesia. After introductory chapters that
encompass pediatric cardiovascular embryology, physiology and
pharmacology, diagnostic approaches and preoperative considerations
are explained. The intraoperative management of a wide range of
specific lesions is then discussed, with full descriptions of
anesthesia plans added with descriptions on diagnostic methods and
surgical interventions. Postoperative care is also addressed, and a
concluding section considers anesthesia outside the cardiac
operating room. In the twenty-first century, advances in minimally
invasive technology have led to the introduction of a wide array of
pediatric cardiac procedures. More traditional surgical procedures
have also been transformed by new devices and surgical approaches.
The cardiac anesthesiologist is faced with an ever-increasing role
in the perioperative care of pediatric patients undergoing
cardiologic procedures in operating rooms, as well as less
conventional locations. In this book, accomplished experts from
around the world in the fields of pediatric anesthesia, cardiology,
and cardiac surgery describe the multiple facets of caring for this
very unique patient population.
