      Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 3: Ultrasonic Investigation of Mechanical Properties summarizes the studies of mechanical properties by acoustic methods. Aside from a comprehensive examination of acoustic-mechanical phenomena, fundamental concepts and applications are discussed. Topics covered range from linear and nonlinear elastic waves to energy loss from elastic waves (ultrasonic attenuation). Comprised of four chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the theory of linear elastic wave propagation, focusing on wave speeds and particle displacements as well as energy flux, isotropic solids, and cubic crystals. Plane waves propagating along [110] and in arbitrary directions are also considered, together with optical visualization of ultrasonic waves and measurement of linear elastic properties. The next chapter is devoted to nonlinear elastic waves and measurement of their elastic properties, with emphasis on how velocity measurements of elastic waves may be used to determine mechanical properties of solid materials. The final chapter analyzes the various mechanisms by which energy can be lost from ultrasonic waves propagating through real solids and how measurement of the amount of this energy loss can yield valuable information about the mechanical properties of the solid. This monograph is intended for professional scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students in materials science and associated fields.

      The influence of Niels Bohr's work, of his approach to research, both practical and theoretical, is widely felt today. His contributions to our knowledge of the atomic constituents of matter and to our view of science, remain of fundamental importance.The publication of his collected works will give historians of science and scientists easy access to a life-work entirely devoted to the rational analysis of the laws of nature and of the singular character of their meaning for us.In addition to Bohr's published papers, the series includes unpublished manuscripts and a wide selection of letters and other documents, with explanatory notes.

      Pulse and Fourier Transform NMR: Introduction to Theory and Methods presents the different types of pulse experiments that are commonly used and provides the theoretical background necessary for understanding these techniques. This book evaluates the practical application of pulse methods and the necessary instrumentation. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the NMR fundamentals and the basic pulse methods. This text then summarizes the important features of pulse spectrometers. Other chapters consider the rationale, the advantages, and the limitations of Fourier transform NMR methods. This book discusses as well how the idea of the rotating frame can be utilized to understand certain experiments that extend the range of application of pulse methods. The final chapter deals with a few significant special uses of pulse techniques. This book is a valuable resource for chemists and readers who are familiar with high resolution NMR but with no background in pulse methods.
