Shaker A. Meguid Knihy

Focusing on the atomistic-continuum behaviors of microdefects under elasto-static loading, this groundbreaking book explores various forms such as nanocracks and microvoids. Professor Meguid presents innovative insights into molecular and continuum mechanics, detailing concepts like the Griffith crack and multiscale modeling. With a blend of theory and practical applications, it serves as an essential resource for college seniors, graduate students, and engineers engaged in failure analysis and diagnostics.

Focusing on the integration of essential technical topics in computer-aided engineering, the author explores interactive computer graphics, computer-aided design, and computer-integrated manufacturing. This work distinguishes itself by uniting these specialized areas and applying them to real engineering challenges through case studies. Drawing from extensive research and teaching experience at prestigious institutions, the book addresses the lack of comprehensive resources on powerful tools for engineering design, emphasizing their practical applications in the design process.

This book introduces nanocomposite materials possessing a broad range of multifunctionality. It elucidates novel and highly original developments from recent research and development of these critical, new engineered materials. The collection examines multiscale modeling, molecular dynamics, atomistic based continuum, synthesis and characterization, condition health monitoring, spectroscopic characterization techniques, self-lubricating materials, and conducting polymers. The volume features the latest efforts of some of the most eminent researchers in the world. Providing a range of perspectives from the laboratory and the field, Advances in Nanocomposites: Modeling and Characterization is ideal for engineers, physicists, and materials scientists in academia and industry.
