The 55 papers in this collection from the April 2004 symposium study processing methods for nanostructured materials, internal stress and the physics of strengthening mechanisms at the nanoscale, and the mechanical properties of nanoscale materials. Each of the six parts presents experimental contributions first, followed by papers describing related modeling and simulation. Topics include the effect of gold films electrodeposited on nickel substrates, microstructural refinement in copper solid solutions by machining, the synthesis of zeolite as ordered multi-crystal arrays, the elevated temperature mechanical properties of devitrified metallic glass, and improved fracture toughness in advanced nanocrystalline ceramic composites.

Tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility are important properties of nanostructured metallic materials, which make them suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Nanostructured metals and alloys reviews the latest technologies used for production of these materials, as well as recent advances in research into their structure and mechanical properties.One of the most important issues facing nanostructured metals and alloys is how to produce them. Part one describes the different methods used to process bulk nanostructured metals and alloys, including chapters on severe plastic deformation, mechanical alloying and electrodeposition among others. Part two concentrates on the microstructure and properties of nanostructured metals, with chapters studying deformation structures such as twins, microstructure of ferrous alloys by equal channel angular processing, and characteristic structures of nanostructured metals prepared by plastic deformation. In part three, the mechanical properties of nanostructured metals and alloys are discussed, with chapters on such topics as strengthening mechanisms, nanostructured metals based on molecular dynamics computer simulations, and surface deformation. Part four focuses on existing and developing applications of nanostructured metals and alloys, covering topics such as nanostructured steel for automotives, steel sheet and nanostructured coatings by spraying.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Nanostructured metals and alloys is a standard reference for manufacturers of metal components, as well as those with an academic research interest in metals and materials with enhanced properties.

Nanotechnology is a progressive research and development topic with large amounts of venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide. Nano mechanics, in particular, is the study and characterization of the mechanical behaviour of individual atoms, systems and structures in response to various types of forces and loading conditions. This text, written by respected researchers in the field, informs researchers and practitioners about the fundamental concepts in nano mechanics and materials, focusing on their modelling via multiple scale methods and techniques. The book systematically covers the theory behind multi-particle and nanoscale systems, introduces multiple scale methods, and finally looks at contemporary applications in nano-structured and bio-inspired materials.

The field of materials science and engineering is rapidly evolving into a science of its own. While traditional literature in this area often concentrates primarily on property and structure, the Materials Processing Handbook provides a much needed examination from the materials processing perspective. This unique focus reflects the changing comple

The study of hydrogen in solids is of significant importance in modern technology. Often present in large concentrations by various growth techniques, hydrogen affects the structural, electronic, and optical properties of crystals. Isolated hydrogen is often electrically active, causing passivation or charge compensation of defects and impurities. Since the presidential proposal of the Freedom Car, hydrogen in semiconductors takes another twist as a potential source of clean fuel for the future. The study of hydrogen transport, diffusion, and chemical reaction in solids is, therefore, of significant social importance. But as often happens in science, different groups of researchers studying hydrogen in solids do not always speak the same language. For example, few people would consider silicon as a practical fuel storage material due to its weight, but in reality, aluminum hydrides have been seriously considered for such a purpose. The knowledge acquired in the last half century for hydrogen in conventional semiconductors has not been effectively transferred to the study of hydrogen storage in emerging semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes. This volume brings together scientists from various research areas to encourage cross fertilization and wider dissemination of the advances in this important field of study. Highlights include recent developments in the understanding of light-induced metastability in amorphous silicon, hydrogen in zinc oxide as a means of n-type doping, and hydrogen doping of dilute nitrides that modifies the bandgap in some rather surprising ways. Hydrogen interaction with donors and acceptors is a never-ending story that is also featured here. Topics include: hydrogen in elemental semiconductors; hydrogen in oxides; and general properties of hydrogen in semiconductors.

Focuses entirely on demystifying the field and subject of ICME and provides step-by-step guidance on its industrial application via case studies This highly-anticipated follow-up to Mark F. Horstemeyer’s pedagogical book on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) concepts includes engineering practice case studies related to the analysis, design, and use of structural metal alloys. A welcome supplement to the first book—which includes the theory and methods required for teaching the subject in the classroom—Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Concepts and Case Studies focuses on engineering applications that have occurred in industries demonstrating the ICME methodologies, and aims to catalyze industrial diffusion of ICME technologies throughout the world. The recent confluence of smaller desktop computers with enhanced computing power coupled with the emergence of physically-based material models has created the clear trend for modeling and simulation in product design, which helped create a need to integrate more knowledge into materials processing and product performance. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Case Studies educates those seeking that knowledge with chapters covering: Body Centered Cubic Materials; Designing An Interatomic Potential For Fe-C Alloys; Phase-Field Crystal Modeling; Simulating Dislocation Plasticity in BCC Metals by Integrating Fundamental Concepts with Macroscale Models; Steel Powder Metal Modeling; Hexagonal Close Packed Materials; Multiscale Modeling of Pure Nickel; Predicting Constitutive Equations for Materials Design; and more. Presents case studies that connect modeling and simulation for different materials' processing methods for metal alloys Demonstrates several practical engineering problems to encourage industry to employ ICME ideas Introduces a new simulation-based design paradigm Provides web access to microstructure-sensitive models and experimental database Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Case Studies is a must-have book for researchers and industry professionals aiming to comprehend and employ ICME in the design and development of new materials.
