Advances in fracture and strength; proceedings; 4v.0878499784 Advances in fracture and strength; proceedings; 4v. Asian Pacific Conference on Fracture and Strength (2004: Jeju Island, Korea) Ed. by Young-Jin Kim et al. Trans Tech Publications 2005 681 pages $684.00 Paperback TA409 Four volumes hold approximately 500 papers selected from the Asian Pacific Conference on Fracture and Strength (APCFS '04; Korea). Coverage includes hundreds of aspects of experimental, theoretical, and computational Having to do with calculations. Something that is "highly computational" requires a large number of calculations. research on the fracture, strength, integrity, and reliability of materials and structures. Among the general themes addressed in multiple, detailed presentations: behavior and analysis at elevated temperatures, MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. , metal-matrix composites, electronic packaging, microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture n. The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination. microstructure Noun a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell and fatigue, coating, non-destructive evaluation, rock mechanics Rock mechanics is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behaviour of rock and rock masses; it is that branch of mechanics concerned with the response of rock and rock masses to the force fields of their physical environment. , welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. and joining technology, and polymer-matrix composites--to name but a few of the topics addressed.
