The text first discusses kinematics, and then describes the motion of a single particle; description of the motion of a rigid body; plane motion of a rigid body; and examples of the determination of velocities and accelerations in the motion of plane mechanism. The book explains the dynamics of a particle and statics, including the center of mass and gravity of a particle system; law of variation of angular momentum; analytical and graphical methods in the statics of plane systems; and spatial system of forces. The text also discusses the statics of elastic systems, and then describes the strength calculations of beams; problems of simple beam-bending; geometric moments of inertia; buckling problems of axially compressed rods; and simultaneous bending and torsion of rods with circular cross-section. The book focuses on the dynamics of rigid bodies, dynamics in relative motion, and fundamentals of analytical mechanics. The text further looks at vibrations of systems with one degree and many degrees of freedom. The book is a good source of data for readers interested in studying the strength of materials.

      Corrosion, Volume 1: Metal/Environment Reactions is concerned with the subject of corrosion, with emphasis on the control of the environmental interactions of metals and alloys used as materials of construction. Corrosion is treated as a synthesis of corrosion science and corrosion engineering. This volume is comprised of nine chapters; the first of which provides an overview of the principles of corrosion and oxidation, with emphasis on the electrochemical mechanism of corrosion and how the kinetics of cathodic and anodic partial reactions control the rate of overall corrosion reaction. Attention then turns to the effects of environmental factors such as concentration, velocity, and temperature based on the assumption that either the anodic or cathodic reaction, but not both, is rate-controlling. The corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, as well as rarer and noble metals, is considered. The reader is also introduced to high-temperature corrosion and mechanical factors that affect corrosion. This book concludes with topics of electrochemistry and metallurgy relevant to corrosion, including the nature of the electrified interface between the metal and the solution; charge transfer across the interface under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions; overpotential and the rate of an electrode reaction; and the hydrogen evolution reaction and hydrogen absorption by ferrous alloys. This book will be of value to students as well as workers and engineers in the field of corrosion.

      Pressure Vessel Technology, Volume 1: Design and Analysis is a collection of papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China on September 11-15, 1988. This conference presents the practical applications in pressure vessel technology, specifically the developments and research, as well as contributions from prominent specialists from many different countries related to their design, materials, fabrication, and methods of inspection. This volume is divided into 61 chapters and begins with a presentation of guidelines and design criteria for various pressure vessel components, such as the nuclear, piping, and boiler components. The succeeding chapters deal with the features and practical application of the seismic design criteria, the issues of vibration, instabilities, damping, and flows. These topics are followed by discussions of the application of the discrete vortex method to flow over structures; tests and analysis of sealing characteristics; the properties of flange, gaskets, and heat exchangers; and stress analysis experiments. This work also includes papers on thermal stress tests, elastoplastic and deformation analysis, crack stability, and the application of computer for automation in analysis.
