BooksJournals

  • Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings for the Electronics Industry

    • 1st Edition
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    The second edition of this widely accepted industrial guide contains descriptions of more than 2,500 adhesives, sealants, and coatings, which are available to the electronics and related industries. The book, greatly expanded from the previous edition, is the result of information received from 80 manufacturers and distributors of these products. The data, including product specifications, represent selections from the manufacturers' descriptions made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of these materials. Only the most recent information has been included. It is believed that all of the products listed are currently available, which will be of interest to readers concerned with product discontinuances.

  • Handbook of Sputter Deposition Technology

    Principles, Technology and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Kiyotaka Wasa + 1 more
    • English
    A concise, comprehensive overview of sputter deposition technologyùa key technology for materials research in the next decade. Cathode sputtering is widely used in the microelectronics industry for silicon integrated circuit production and for metallurgical coatings. High temperature superconductors can be synthesized with sputtering under non-equilibrium conditions. Diamond films and ferroelectric materials are other applications.

  • Lubricants and Special Fluids

    • 1st Edition
    • V. Stepina + 1 more
    • English
    The constitution, properties, production and applications of lubricants and related fluids of all states of aggregation are reviewed in this volume. Special attention is devoted to synthetic lubricants and to additives for lubricants. Standards of quality are listed, together with systems of classification and the most important specifications and methods of testing the properties of lubricants and their performance in service. Future trends in lubricants are also discussed. Non-conventional lubricants and additives are examined in detail. The relationship between constitution and properties of lubricants, e.g., the viscosity -temperature -pressure relationship, the behaviour in ageing, the biodegradability, synergisms and antagonisms in the blends of lubricants, of additives and lubricant-additive are analyzed. Guidelines for the selection of lubricants and fluids in the design, service and maintenance of machines and machine parts are also given. The work will be of interest to all those involved in the research and development of petrochemical and machinery industries, as well as lecturers and students specializing in this field.

  • Encyclopedia of Environmental Control Technology: Volume 5

    Waste Minimization and Recycling
    • 1st Edition
    • Paul Cheremisinoff
    • English
    As landfills are closed and new and stricter legislation enacted, the problems of waste and pollution grow ever larger. Re-engineering production lines to reduce the source of unusable by-products is one answer, and developing new technologies to make use of these materials another. Recycling provides an immediate solution, and it is one that is becoming more and more popular in a variety of industries ranging from styrene to steel to newsprint. Like the other titles in the "Encyclopedia of Environmental Control Technology" series, this volume draws on contributors from around the world who are engaged in finding ways to solve the problems of waste and devising new strategies for recycling.

  • Laser Welding

    A Practical Guide
    • 1st Edition
    • C T Dawes
    • English
    Enables the reader both to understand and to use, in a practical manner, laser welding. The author explains the principles of laser welding and provides examples of industrial applications, examines many aspects of laser welding and devotes a complete chapter to safety.

  • Digital Control of Electric Drives

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 43
    • R. Koziol + 2 more
    • English
    The electromechanical systems employed in different branches of industry are utilized most often as drives of working machines which must be fed with electric energy in a continuous, periodic or even discrete way. Some of these machines operate at constant speed, others require wide and varying energy control. In many designs the synchronous cooperation of several electric drives is required in addition to the desired dynamic properties. For these reasons the control of the cooperation and dynamics of electromechanical systems requires the use of computers.This book adopts an unusual approach to the subject in that it treats the electric drive system on the one hand as an element of a control system and on the other as an element of a complex automatic system. These two trends in the development of the automatic control of electric drives have resulted in a volume that provides a thorough overview on the variety of different approaches to the design of control systems.

  • Data Fusion in Robotics & Machine Intelligence

    • 1st Edition
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English

  • Handbook of Crack Opening Data

    A Compendium of Equations, Graphs, Computer Software and References for Opening Profiles of Cracks in Loaded Components and Structures
    • 1st Edition
    • T.G.F. Gray
    • English
    Written mainly for specialists in non-destructive examination and fracture mechanics, this book provides means to estimate the opening profiles of cracks in loaded structures. Equations, non-dimensional graph plots, computer software, background information and references are given which permit the calculation of the separation distances of crack faces as a function of crack size, applied loading etc. Sixteen different cases are covered by this Handbook.An Abington Publishing Special Report

  • Self-Shielded Arc Welding

    • 1st Edition
    • T Boniszewski
    • English
    A detailed original perspective from a leading expert on welding metallurgy of the self-shielded arc welding process and its applications. The author explains the basic process metallurgy of the process and its relationship with other arc welding processes. He promotes self-shielded arc welding (SSAW) as a distinct process in its own right, dispels some widely held misconceptions, and sets out to bring its existence and advantages to the attention of designers and fabricators.
