Carbon materials are exceptionally diverse in their preparation, structure, texture, and applications. In Advanced Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon, noted carbon scientist Michio Inagaki and his coauthors cover the most recent advances in carbon materials, including new techniques and processes, carbon materials synthesis, and up-to-date descriptions of current carbon-based materials, trends and applications. Beginning with the synthesis and preparation of nanocarbons, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes, the book then reviews recently developed carbonization techniques, such as templating, electrospinning, foaming, stress graphitization, and the formation of glass-like carbon. The last third of the book is devoted to applications, featuring coverage of carbon materials for energy storage, electrochemical capacitors, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and adsorptive storage of hydrogen and methane for environmental protection, photocatalysis, spilled oil recovery, and nuclear applications of isotropic high-density graphite.

This book reports on innovative materials research with a special emphasis on methods, modeling, and simulation tools for analyzing material behavior, emerging materials, and composites, and their applications in the field of manufacturing. Chapters are based on contributions to the third International Conference on Advanced Materials Mechanics and Manufacturing, A3M2021, organized by the Laboratory of Mechanics, Modeling, and Manufacturing (LA2MP) of the National School of Engineers of Sfax, Tunisia and held online on March 25-27, 2021. They cover a variety of topics, spanning from experimental analysis of material plasticity and fatigue, numerical simulation of material behavior, and optimization of manufacturing processes, such as cutting and injection, among others. Offering a good balance of fundamental research and industrially relevant findings, they provide researchers and professionals with a timely snapshot of and extensive information on current developments in the field and a source of inspiration for future research and collaboration.

This book collected of the papers presented during the ICAMSME 2016 Conference. The ICAMSME is an annual conference aimed at presenting current researches in the fields of materials and materials processing technologies, structures and construction technologies, mechatronics, robotics, control, mechanical engineering, information technologies, engineering management and product design.

The 4th International Conference on Advanced Materials, Structures and Mechanical Engineering (ICAMSME 2017) took place in Incheon, Incheon National University, South-Korea, May 19-21, 2017. This collection of manuscripts was created based on the results of the conference and is thematically connected to research and design in the field of the structural materials, processing technologies and modern design and research methods in the mechanical engineering, biomedicine, construction and chemical production. We hope this collection will be useful for many engineers and researchers.

Four decades ago, J.P. Den Hartog, then Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote Strength of Materials, an elementary text that still enjoys great popularity in engineering schools throughout the world. Widely used as a classroom resource, it has also become a favorite reference and refresher on the subject among engineers everywhere. This is the first paperback edition of an equally successful text by this highly respected engineer and author. Advanced Strength of Materials takes this important subject into areas of greater difficulty, masterfully bridging its elementary aspects and its most formidable advanced reaches. The book reflects Den Hartog's impressive talent for making lively, discursive and often witty presentations of his subject, and his unique ability to combine the scholarly insight of a distinguished scientist with the practical, problem-solving orientation of an experienced industrial engineer. The concepts here explored in depth include torsion, rotating disks, membrane stresses in shells, bending of flat plates, beams on elastic foundation, the two-dimensional theory of elasticity, the energy method and buckling. The presentation is aimed at the student who has a one-semester course in elementary strength of materials. The book includes an especially thorough and valuable section of problems and answers which give both students and professionals practice in techniques and clear illustrations of applications.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 3rd International Conference on Machinery, Materials Science and Engineering Applications (MMSE 2013), June 20-21, 2013, Wuhan, Hubei, China

In the last decades, advanced materials and mechanics has become a hot topic in engineering. Recent trends show that the application of nanotechnology and environmental science together with advanced materials and mechanics are playing an increasingly important role in engineering applications.
