Structural Analysis of Historic Constructions
Current Publications (2010-2011, alphabetically)
Eds. Xianglin Gu and Xiaobin Song
Advanced Materials Research Vols. 133-134
Increasing urbanization constitutes a mounting threat to cultural
heritage sites around the world; especially in developing countries.
Natural and man-made environmental hazards are causing more
damage to historic constructions than ever before. The conservation
of historical constructions is facing new challenges introduced by
waves of immigration and industrialization. The present papers
on this subject are organized into two volumes, and the topics of
interest span the entire spectrum of structural analyses of historic
constructions: including Materials and Structural Configuration,
Structural Inspection and Monitoring, Structural Analysis and
Assessment, Seismic Analysis and Evaluation, Strengthening
Technologies, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting and Sustainable
Utilization of Historic Constructions in China. It is the hope of the
editors that this special collection will stimulate scientists and
technologists to develop further theories and technologies and
help them in their endeavors in conserving historic constructions,
now and tomorrow.

Superplasticity in Advanced Materials
Eds. Daniel G. Sanders
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 433
The original use of superplastic materials involved mainly
applications involving aluminium and titanium. However, discoveries
made all over the globe have led to the development of superplastic
ceramics, intermetallics, nano-materials, plastics, glasses and other
substances. The objective of this collection was to gather together
current knowhow (both academic and industrial) in the field of
superplasticity, with the hope of promoting teamwork, collaboration
and partnering in order to further the technology for the benefit of
the entire world.

Surface Finishing Technology and Surface Engineering II
Eds. Qiusheng Yan, Jiabin Lu, Jun Wang and Hang Gao
Advanced Materials Research Vol. 135
This volume comprises a collection of papers selected from
submissions made to the International Conference on Surface
Finishing Technology & Surface Engineering (ICSFT2010); one of
the academic conferences instigated by the Chinese Committee
for Surface Finishing Technology of CMES (Chinese Mechanical
Engineering Society), held in Guangzhou, China, from the 5th
to 7th November, 2010. The aim of ICSFT2010 was to offer an
opportunity to bring together academic researchers and industrial
technologists for the purpose of exchanging information on the latest
developments and applications in advanced surface engineering
and surface finishing technologies, and to promote friendly and
interdisciplinary research collaborations. The work offers interesting
insights into the topic.

Technology Evolution for Silicon Nano-Electronics
Eds. Seiichi Miyazaki and Hitoshi Tabata
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 470
Silicon ultra-large scale integrated circuits (ULSIs) are now faced
with various physical limits to further scaling. Therefore, it is very
important to establish the fundamental science and technology
required to produce nano-scale complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor
devices (Nano-CMOS) having high performance, new
functionalities and larger-scale integration. The scope of this book
covers: - Nano-scale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
devices (Nano-CMOS), - Novel functional devices, materials, and
nanoprocessing technologies, - Nano-bio physics and technologies
for future nano devices, - Variability control technologies and Signal
integrity. This makes it a very useful handbook on the subject.

Testing and Evaluation of Inorganic Materials I
Eds. Yiwang Bao, Li Tian and Jianghong Gong
Advanced Materials Research Vol. 177
The performance of inorganic materials is critical in structural design
and engineering applications. Testing techniques and evaluation
methods are are therefore keys to ensuring the quality and reliability
of inorganic materials and components. The main theme of this
special collection is materials properties and testing techniques,
and covers most aspects of testing techniques as applied to the
mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of
ceramics, glass and concrete. The work therefore offers an insight
into cutting-edge developments in testing techniques in the area of
inorganic materials.

Texture and Anisotropy of Polycrystals III
Eds. H. Klein and R.A. Schwarzer
Solid State Phenomena Vol. 160
The great majority of solid-state materials – natural as well as
man-made ones – have a polycrystalline structure. They consist
of crystallites having various sizes, shapes and crystallographic
orientations. Because of the anisotropy of crystal properties, the
material as a whole may also be anisotropic if the orientation
distribution of the crystallites is not random. Furthermore, because
of the differently oriented anisotropies of neighbouring crystals, the
material is also micro-inhomogeneous. Macroscopic anisotropy
and micro-inhomogeneity are thus fundamental properties of all
polycrystalline materials. Therefore, the study of preferred crystal
orientations, or crystallographic texture, is of major interest in
research and industrial applications. Analysis of the crystal texture
is now a well-established tool for quality control and failure analysis
in industry, as well as in academic research, because of the ready
availability of commercial equipment and refined computer programs.
