LES COUCHES D'OXYDE THERMIQUE, A L'ORIGINE DE LA RESISTANCE A L'OXYDATION A HAUTE TEMPERATURE DE NOMBREUX MATERIAUX, DOIVENT RESTER CONTINUES ET ADHERENTES AU SUBSTRAT POUR ASSURER SA PROTECTION EN SERVICE. LE PRESENT TRAVAIL VISE A COMPRENDRE QUELS PARAMETRES INFLUENT DE FACON DETERMINANTE SUR LA TENUE MECANIQUE DE CES COUCHES. IL PORTE SUR LES OXYDES RICHES EN CHROME FORMES SUR DES ACIERS INOXYDABLES FERRITIQUES. LE COMPORTEMENT DE L'OXYDE DE CHROME CR 2O 3 FORME SUR LE CHROME PUR EST EGALEMENT ANALYSE EN TANT QUE SYSTEME MODELE. LA TENUE MECANIQUE DES FILMS D'OXYDE EST ANALYSEE D'UNE PART EN TERME DE CONTRAINTES, QUI PEUVENT ENDOMMAGER LE FILM D'OXYDE, ET D'AUTRE PART EN TERME D'ADHERENCE DU FILM SUR SON SUBSTRAT. CE TRAVAIL PRESENTE TOUT D'ABORD LES CONTRAINTES GENEREES DANS LA COUCHE D'OXYDE AU COURS DE SA CROISSANCE A HAUTE TEMPERATURE ET LORS DU REFROIDISSEMENT DU SYSTEME. LES CONTRAINTES SONT DETERMINEES PAR SPECTROMETRIE RAMAN. L'ADHERENCE DE L'OXYDE SUR SON SUBSTRAT EST ENSUITE ANALYSEE. UN TEST DE GONFLEMENT-DECOLLEMENT A ETE DEVELOPPE SPECIFIQUEMENT AFIN DE MESURER L'ENERGIE D'ADHERENCE OXYDE-SUBSTRAT. LE ROLE DES CONDITIONS D'OXYDATION, EN PARTICULIER LA NATURE DE L'ATMOSPHERE OXYDANTE, ET DES ELEMENTS D'ADDITION EST MIS EN EVIDENCE ET DISCUTE A LA LUMIERE DES OBSERVATIONS EXPERIMENTALES.

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline borne of the needs of the in dustrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound issues of produc tivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research monographs intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and re search. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors on the advisory board, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consulting editors are listed on the next page of this volume. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational mechan ics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, processing, thermal science, and tribology.

Presenting a unified approach, this book focusses on the concepts and theoretical methods that are necessary for an understanding of the physics and chemistry of the fluid state. The authors do not attempt to cover the whole field in an encyclopedic manner. Instead, important ideas are presented in a concise and rigorous style, and illustrated with examples from both simple molecular liquids and more complex soft condensed matter systems such as polymers, colloids, and liquid crystals.

This much-cited thesis by J. D. van der Waals, the recipient of the 1910 Nobel Prize in physics, is accompanied by an introductory essay by J. S. Rowlinson and another work by van der Waals on the theory of liquid mixtures. 1988 edition.

This book highlights peer reviewed articles from the 1st International Conference on Renewable Energy and Energy Conversion, ICREEC 2019, held at Oran in Algeria. It presents recent advances, brings together researchers and professionals in the area and presents a platform to exchange ideas and establish opportunities for a sustainable future. Topics covered in this proceedings, but not limited to, are photovoltaic systems, bioenergy, laser and plasma technology, fluid and flow for energy, software for energy and impact of energy on the environment.

Preface Adhesion is a phenomenon architects and civil engineers are not very familiar with. In other disciplines knowledge about surface properties and the background of bonding energies is also far from satisfactory; nevertheless there are many important· applications in concrete engineering, where adhesion is necessary for success and durability. These include: - coating and painting - repair of concrete surfaces - bonding of fresh to old concrete - crack injection - glueing of precast elements - glueing of steel to concrete, etc. In 1981 RILEM established the technical committee 52-RAC 'Resin Adherence to Concrete'. The main aims of the committee's work were - to collect research results and practical experiences - to initiate and coordinate research programs - to develop, on a scientific base, test methods for field and for laboratory purposes. One of the results of the committee's work is a state-of-the-art report, which will be presented orally as a General Report at the International Symposium ISAP '86, and will be printed either in the RILEM journal Materials and Structures or separately. Several test recommendations have been elaborated and will be prepared as drafts for the participants ofISAP '86. These are: - direct tensile test - pull-off test - direct shear test - slant shear test - four-point bending test - dynamic loading test - thermal compatibility test (two versions) - injectibility test.
