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.
