Nanostructures

The theoretical as well as practical aspects of the strength of materials are presented in this book in a systematic way to enable students to understand the basic principles and prepare themselves for the tasks of designing large structures subsequently. The system of units, notation and convention... More

Completely Revised and Redesigned For Today's Students Since 1960, this leading text has taught thousands of students the fundamentals of non rigid body mechanics. Now, the new author team of Riley, Sturges, and Morris have revised the text to appeal to today's students by updating the illustration ... More

Ultrasonic signals are increasingly being used for predicting material behavior, both in an engineering context (detecting anomalies in a variety of structures) and a biological context (examining human bones, body parts and unborn fetuses). Featuring contributions from authors who are specialists i... More
