Kinetics of Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Balluffi, Robert W. / Allen, Samuel M. / Carter, W. Craig, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Interscience, A classroom-tested textbook providing a fundamental understong>andong>ing of basic kinetic processes in ong>materialsong> This textbook, reflecting the hong>andong>s-on teaching experience of its three authors, evolved from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's first-year graduate curriculum in the Department of ong>Materialsong> Science ong>andong> Engineering. It discusses key topics collectively representing the basic kinetic processes that cause changes in the size, shape, composition, ong>andong> atomistic structure of ong>materialsong>. Readers gain a deeper understong>andong>ing of these kinetic processes ong>andong> of the properties ong>andong> applications of ong>materialsong>. Topics are introduced in a logical order, enabling students to develop a solid foundation before advancing to more sophisticated topics. Kinetics of ong>Materialsong> begins with diffusion, offering a description of the elementary manner in which atoms ong>andong> molecules move around in solids ong>andong> liquids. Next, the more complex motion of dislocations ong>andong> interfaces is addressed. Finally, still more complex kinetic phenomena, such as morphological evolution ong>andong> phase transformations, are treated. Throughout the textbook, readers are instilled with an appreciation of the subject's analytic foundations ong>andong>, in many ong>casesong>, the approximations commonly used in the field. The authors offer many extensive derivations of important results to help illuminate their origins. While the principal focus is on kinetic phenomena in crystalline ong>materialsong>, select phenomena in noncrystalline ong>materialsong> are also discussed. In many ong>casesong>, the principles involved apply to all ong>materialsong>. Exercises with accompanying solutions are provided throughout Kinetics of ong>Materialsong>, enabling readers to put their newfound knowledge into practice. In addition, bibliographies are offered with each chapter, helping readers to investigate specialized topics in greater detail. Several appendices presenting important background material are also included. With its unique range of topics, progressive structure, ong>andong> extensive exercises, this classroom-tested textbook provides an enriching learning experience for first-year graduate students.

Doing Teacher-Research

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roth, W. -M, W.-M, PUBLISHER: Sense Publishers, There are many teachers who think about doing research in their own classes ong>andong> schools but who are perplexed by what appears to be involved. This book is intended for these perplexed practitioners, to provide them with an easily understong>andong>able narrative about the concrete praxis of doing research in their classrooms or in those of their teacher peers teaching next door or in the same school. The fundamental idea underlying this book is to provide an easily accessible but nevertheless intellectually honest text that allows teachers to increase their agency with respect to better understong>andong>ing their praxis ong>andong> the events in their classrooms by means of research. The author draws on his experience of doing teacher-research while being a high school teacher ong>andong> department head. Roth uses six concrete research studies that he has conducted alone or with peers to describe the salient parts of any teacher-researcher investigation including: what topic to study; issues of ethics ong>andong> permissions from students, school, ong>andong> parents; how ong>andong> what sources to collect; how to structure resources; how to construct data from the ong>materialsong>; how to derive claims; ong>andong> how to write a report/research study.

Exploring Materials: Creative Design for Everyday Objects

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alesina, Inna / Lupton, Ellen, PUBLISHER: Princeton Architectural Press, ong>Materialsong> are like words. The richer your design vocabulary, the more distinctive the design solutions you can express. Sketching ideas with a pencil or rendering them with computer software are useful experiences, but there is no substitute for confronting physical forms ong>andong> ong>materialsong> directly. Exploring ong>Materialsong> is an action-oriented, accessible guide to design thinking that addresses both the 'how' ong>andong> 'why' of product design. In place of the abstraction of pure forms or the whimsy of virtual objects, it encourages designers to make ong>andong> test real objects in a studio environment. Best-selling author Ellen Lupton (Thinking with Type) ong>andong> her colleague Inna Alesina examine ong>materialsong> from several points of view, including traditional uses, experimental uses, techniques ong>andong> directions for prototyping with everyday objects, ong>andong> environmental implications. Student exercises ong>andong> inspiring examples from the world of contemporary product design show readers how to use ong>materialsong> as tools for thinking ong>andong> making. The book opens with two extensive studies: one for a place for sitting ong>andong> one for a method for carrying. By considering what is needed instead of what specific product can be made, designers examine the methodology of designing. The core of the book is a visual glossary of thirty-two ong>materialsong> from corrugated cardboard to molded felt to plastic film. It highlights the ong>materialsong>' behaviors ong>andong> properties which suggest different types of structure, surface, ong>andong> connection ong>andong> it shows experimental uses of these ong>materialsong>, demonstrating how designers from around the world have exploited their characteristics in inventive ways. The book concludes with a section on making it real, moving beyond the prototype to create a product that can be manufactured ong>andong> marketed. Exploring ong>Materialsong> contains everything designers need not only to jump-start their design process, but also to follow a project through from idea to prototype to finished object.
