Modelling of Materials Processing An Approachable and Practical Guide to the Modelling of Materials Synthesis and Fabrication Processes

The book treats materials processing from a theoretical and thus mathematical and quantitative point of view. The first portion draws from various fields to provide a theoretical basis upon which any materials synthesis and/or fabrication process may be completely described. In addition, the practical side of theoretical materials processing is directly addressed: the details of useful numerical simulation methods, numerous tables of material property values, details of useful mathematical manipulations that are frequently required, and helpful, detailed and easy-to-use tables of unit conversions are included. Furthermore, the book begins with a purely qualitative discussion of the key aspects of theory, to establish a sufficiently good understanding of the same aspects when they are re-introduced in their more customary mathematical, quantitative form. Taken together, the various elements of this book provide a sound foundation for both the understanding and the use of this theoretical approach to materials processing.Stangle, Gregory C. is the author of 'Modelling of Materials Processing An Approachable and Practical Guide to the Modelling of Materials Synthesis and Fabrication Processes' with ISBN 9780412711206 and ISBN 0412711206.
