Electronic,Magnetic, and OpticalMaterialsPradeep FulayUniversity of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania, USA

In response to the evolution and increased inter-disciplinarity and interdependency of differentengineering and science fields, Electronic,Magnetic, and Optical Materials takes a neces-sarily critical, all-encompassing approach to intro-ducing the fundamentals of electronic, magnetic,and optical properties of materials to students whomajor or minor in sciences or engineering. Writtento weave the underlying science and engineeringaspects, the book maintains a careful balancebetween fundamentals (i.e., underlying physics-related concepts) and technological aspects (man-ufacturing of devices, materials processing, etc.) tocover applications for a variety of fields, including:

• Nanoscience• Electromagnetics• Semiconductors• Optoelectronics• Fiber optics• Microelectronic circuit design• Photovoltaics• Dielectric ceramics• Ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, and pyroelectrics• Magnetic materials

Building upon his almost 20 years of experience asa professor, Fulay integrates engineering conceptswith technological aspects of materials used in theelectronics, magnetics, and photonics industries.This introductory book concentrates on funda-mental topics and discusses applications to numer-ous real-world technological examples—fromcomputers to credit cards to optic fibers—that willappeal to readers at any level of understanding.

Where most books on the subject are gearedtoward specialists (e.g. semiconductors), this longoverdue text is a more wide-ranging overview thatoffers an insight into the steadily fading distinctionbetween devices and materials. It is well-suited forjunior or seniorlevel undergraduate or first-yeargraduate students and readers working in indus-try, regardless of their background or level of expe-rience.

Fundamentalsof CorrosionMechanisms, Causes,and PreventativeMethodsPhilip A. Schweitzer, P.E.Consultant, York, Pennsylvania, USA

Billions of dollars are spent annually for thereplacement of corroded structures, machinery,and components. Premature failure of bridges orstructures due to corrosion can also result inhuman injury, loss of life, and collateral damage.

Written by an authority in corrosion science,Fundamentals of Corrosion: Mechanisms,Causes, and Preventative Methods compre-hensively describes the causes of corrosion—andthe means to limit or prevent it. Engineers,designers, architects, and all those involved withthe selection of construction materials will relish areference that provides such a thorough yet basicillustration of the causes, prevention, and controlof corrosion.

This reference explores:

• Mechanisms and forms of corrosion

• Methods of attack on plastic materials

• Causes of failure in protective coatings, linings, and paints

• Development of new alloys with corrosion-resistant properties

Exposure to the atmosphere is one of the largestproblems and biggest causes of corrosion thatengineers and designers face in construction. Ithas been further estimated that the cost of pro-tection against atmospheric corrosion accountsfor approximately half the total cost of all corro-sion protection methods. This book places specialemphasis on the topic and presents vital informa-tion regarding the design of structures, automo-biles, household plumbing, manufacturing equip-ment, and other entities, as well as the effects ofde-icing chemicals on highways and bridges.

Mechanisms ofDiffusional PhaseTransformationsin Metals andAlloysH.I. AaronsonCarnegie Mellon University,Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

M. EnomotoIbaraki University, Hitachi city, Japan

J.K. LeeMichigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan, USA

Developed by the late metallurgy professor andmaster experimentalist Hubert I. Aaronson, thiscollection of lecture notes details the fundamen-tal principles of phase transformations in metalsand alloys upon which steel and other metalsindustries are based.

Mechanisms of Diffusional Phase Trans-formations in Metals and Alloys is devoted tosolid-solid phase transformations in which ele-mentary atomic processes are diffusional jumps,and these processes occur in a series of so-callednucleation and growth through interface migra-tion. Instead of relying strictly on a pedagogicalapproach, it documents the evolution of phasetransformation concepts. The authors presenttopics by describing a phenomenon and then fol-lowing up with a corresponding hypothesis oralternative explanation. In this way, the book alsoshows how the field continues to evolve and meetnew challenges.

Integrated with information from a number ofkey papers and review articles, this volumereflects this revered and influential instructor’sunique and passionate way of introducing well-established theories and knowledge in a system-atic way, at the same time introducing, in greatdetail, how a new idea or interpretation of a phe-nomenon has emerged, evolved, and gained itscurrent status. If the published version of a theo-ry or a model was too condensed, Aaronsonworked the problem out in painstaking detail sothat graduate students could follow the deriva-tions. This collection is full of such unique“Aaronsonian idiosyncrasies,” which addimmense value as a powerful tool for learning inthis challenging materials field.

The text addresses four practi-cally important and interrelated phenomena:contact interaction of rough surfaces, elastohy-drodynamic lubrication, viscosity reduction, andcontact fatigue. Phenomena of contact interac-tion of rough elastic surfaces and of mechanicallyinduced lubricant degradation receive rigorousmathematical treatment and numerical analysis.Based on initial material defect distribution and itskinetics in the process of cyclic loading, the con-tact fatigue model provides a foundation todevelop insights into modeling the effects of con-tact interactions.

Features

• Focuses on mathematical modeling and theeffects of contact interactions between dryand lubricated elastic solids

• Details the behavior of fluids with Newtonianand non-Newtonian rheologies in lubricatedcontacts of elastic solids

• Models the effects of heat generation in contacts lubricated by fluids with generalnon-Newtonian rheology
