Download or read book Environmental Degradation of Advanced and Traditional Engineering Materials written by Lloyd H. Hihara and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main, ongoing challenges for any engineering enterprise is that systems are built of materials subject to environmental degradation. Whether working with an airframe, integrated circuit, bridge, prosthetic device, or implantable drug-delivery system, understanding the chemical stability of materials remains a key element in determining their useful life. Environmental Degradation of Advanced and Traditional Engineering Materials is a monumental work for the field, providing comprehensive coverage of the environmental impacts on the full breadth of materials used for engineering infrastructure, buildings, machines, and components. The book discusses fundamental degradation processes and presents examples of degradation under various environmental conditions. Each chapter presents the basic properties of the class of material, followed by detailed characteristics of degradation, guidelines on how to protect against corrosion, and a description of testing procedures. A complete, self-contained industrial reference guide, this valuable resource is designed for students and professionals interested in the development of deterioration-resistant technological systems constructed with metallurgical, polymeric, ceramic, and natural materials.
Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PhD thesis is an electronic structure simulation work to study the stabilization mechanism of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and the phenomena of the degradation of YSZ due to the presence of an aqueous media. YSZ is used especially in dental and orthopedics application sbut its service depends on the environment. For these biomedical applications a crystallographic tetragonal YSZ (t-YSZ) structure is used, but depending on the concentration of yttria (Y2O3) and the environment, this tetragonal structure is thermodynamically in competition with a monoclinic and cubic phases. This competition is crucial in this work, because it has both effects : increase the resistance or promote the degradation of this material. The study is conducted for Y2O3 concentrations less than 20% mol. First, atomic structures of the three phases at low temperature were determined using density functional theory (DFT)with the local density approximations (LDA). The results include new structures that were not discussed in the literature and which are consistent with the phase diagram of YSZ at low temperature. A more detailed analysis suggests that the stabilization mechanism in YSZ is due to an effective ionocovalent screening : particularly in t-YSZ phase, its signature is expressed in Zr-ions with a coordination number of 7. This represents an important point for linking stability and structure in these systems. A second part of this work is devoted to the effect of water on YSZ bulk systems which leads to low temperature degradation (LTD) of YSZ based bioceramics materials. In conclusion, this PhD thesis represents an original contribution to the understanding of the mechanism and properties of YSZ and its applications at the atomic scale.

Download or read book High temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Fundamentals Design and Applications written by S.C. Singhal and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Fundamentals, Design and Applications provides a comprehensive discussion of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). SOFCs are the most efficient devices for the electrochemical conversion of chemical energy of hydrocarbon fuels into electricity, and have been gaining increasing attention for clean and efficient distributed power generation. The book explains the operating principle, cell component materials, cell and stack designs and fabrication processes, cell and stack performance, and applications of SOFCs. Individual chapters are written by internationally renowned authors in their respective fields, and the text is supplemented by a large number of references for further information. The book is primarily intended for use by researchers, engineers, and other technical people working in the field of SOFCs. Even though the technology is advancing at a very rapid pace, the information contained in most of the chapters is fundamental enough for the book to be useful even as a text for SOFC technology at the graduate level.
