Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Design-Led
Approach is ideal for a first course in materials for mechanical,
civil, biomedical, aerospace and other engineering disciplines. The
authors’ systematic method includes first analyzing and selecting
properties to match materials to design through the use of
real-world case studies and then examining the science behind the
material properties to better engage students whose jobs will be
centered on design or applied industrial research. As with
Ashby’s other leading texts, the book emphasizes visual
communication through material property charts and numerous
schematics better illustrate the origins of properties, their
manipulation and fundamental limits.
This handbook dicussess tyre-road contact forces generated by heavy
vehicles covering their influence on road surface and bridge
response and damage, as well as ways of regulating and improving
vehicles so as to minimize road damage.;The main incentive for
understanding vehicle-road interaction is the possibility of
reducing the road damage caused by heavy vehicles and the very high
associated costs. This may be achieved by highway authorities,
through improved design and construction of roads; by government
agencies, through regulations intended to encourage the use of more
"road-friendly" vehicles; or by vehicle engineers, through design
of improved vehicle configurations and suspensions, which minimize
road damage.;The book provides a unified mechanistic approach to
the entire subject, covering vehicle dynamics; dynamic tyre forces;
weigh-in-motion; pavement and bridge response; damage mechanisms of
paving materials; vehicle-guideway interaction; suspension design
to minimize road damage; and assessing road damaging potential of
vehicles for regulatory purposes. It includes 25 literature
reviews, covering topics from asphalt deformation to
weigh-in-motion, and citing over 500 references. In addition, it
discusses both the fundamental mechanics of the mechanical and
civil engineering systems, as well as practical and implementation
issues.
A fascinating story of one man's impact on history (Sir Martin
Gilbert, historian; Honorary Fellow of Merton College, University
of Oxford). Vladimir Jabotinsky and Sioma Jacobi exchanged more
than five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Yet Jabotinsky s
right-hand man, who ran the London Revisionist bureau from 1934
until his premature death at the age of forty-two, and who nearly
single-handedly managed illegal immigration to Palestine, is
virtually unknown. This book resurrects the legacy of a remarkable
man and awards Solomon Sioma Jacobi his rightful place in Zionist
history.
