Computer methods and experimental measurements for surface effects and contact mechanics VII; proceedings.1845640225 Computer methods and experimental measurements for surface effects and contact mechanics Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the subject is built upon the mechanics of materials and theory of elasticity. VII; proceedings. International Conference on Computer Methods and Experimental Measurements... (7th ed: 2005: Bologna, Italy) Ed. by J.T.M. De Hosson et al. WIT Press 2005 398 pages $250.00 Hardcover WIT transactions on engineering sciences; v.49 TA418 The 38 selected papers explore how the surfaces of engineered structures can be modified or coated in order to enhance the performance of the surface and therefore the structure. They look at processing, microstructural features, functional performance, and the design of an appropriate theoretical and predictive framework for protective surfaces. Among the case studies are the contact rolling fatigue of rail steels, the laser deformation of automotive dual phase steel, and current crowding Current crowding (also current crowding effect, or CCE) is a nonhomogenous distribution of current density through a conductor or semiconductor, especially at the vicinity of the contacts and over the PN junctions. in the Junction Barrier Noun 1. junction barrier - a junction unit for connecting 2 cables without the need for plugs barrier strip junction, conjunction - something that joins or connects Schottky diode The Schottky diode (named after German physicist Walter H. Schottky; also known as hot carrier diode) is a semiconductor diode with a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action. . There is no subject index. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics Computational mechanics is the subject/profession concerned with the use of computational methods and devices to study phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics. Before the emergence of computational science (also called scientific computing) as a "third way" besides . ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
