The Science of Armour Materials comprehensively covers the range of armor materials from steels and light alloys, through glasses and ceramics, to fibers, textiles, and protective apparel. The book also discusses aspects of analytical and numerical modeling, as well as laboratory-based high-strain rate testing and ballistic testing methodologies. Each chapter is written from an international perspective, including reviews of the current global literature, and incorporates case studies that focus upon real life applications, research outcomes, and lessons learned. The threat spectrum is restricted to small arms ammunition, high velocity fragments, and stab and spike attacks, as well as blast loadings. - Features input from an editor who is an expert in his field: Dr. Ian Crouch, the author of over 80 publications in his field, with three patents to his name - Provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of armor materials, modeling, and testing - Offers a cross-disciplinary approach that brings together expertise in materials science and defense engineering - Discusses aspects of analytical and numerical modeling, as well as laboratory-based high-strain rate testing and ballistic testing methodologies

This book entitled the wealth of mankind presents a unified analysis of the important factors which determine our wealth. It describes the ways for substantially increasing the personal and national income through improvements in quality, quantity, rejuvenation, unity and life expectancy. The approach is quantitative to some extent and has been illustrated with respect to India, USA and Japan. The inquiry also covers the related aspects of unity, yoga, spirituality and the roles played by family, engineers, teachers, emotion builders, farmers, labor, wealth managers, doctors, non-players, negative players, and other forms of life and sunlight in shaping our wealth in all its dimensions. This book is an unorthodox but scientific and comprehensive presentation of a variety of practical ways to multiply the true wealth of everyone manyfold within a span of few years while at the same time nourishing the wealth called mankind and life.

The two volumes that comprise this work provide a comprehensive guide and source book on the marine use of composite materials. The first volume, Fundamental Aspects, provides a rigorous development of theory. Areas covered include materials science, environmental aspects, production technology, structural analysis, finite-element methods, materials failure mechanisms and the role of standard test procedures. An appendix gives tables of the mechanical properties of common polymeric composites and laminates in marine use. The second volume, Practical Considerations, examines how the theory can be used in the design and construction of marine structures, including boats, submersibles, offshore structures and other deep-ocean installations.

Composites are a class of material, which receives much attention not only because it is on the cutting edge of active material research fields due to appearance of many new types of composites, e.g., nanocomposites and bio-medical composites, but also because there are a great deal of promises for their potential applications in various industries ranging from aerospace to construction due to their various outstanding properties. This book mainly deals with fabrication and property characterization of various composites by focusing on the following topics: functional and structural nanocomposites, numerical and theoretical modelling of various damages in long fiber reinforced composites and textile composites, design, processing and manufacturing technologies and their effects on mechanical properties of composites, characterization of mechanical and physical properties of various composites, and metal and ceramic matrix composites. This book has been divided into five sections to cover the above contents.
