Download or read book Computer Methods and Experimental Measurements for Surface Effects and Contact Mechanics VII written by J. T. M. de Hosson and published by Computational Mechanics. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research activities in the field of surface engineering have been greatly driven by the realization that the surface is usually the most important part of any engineering component. The scientific research featured deals with fundamental and applied concepts of surface engineering, in particular focusing on the interplay between applied physics, materials science and engineering, computational mechanics and mechanical engineering. The book is devoted to fundamental and applied studies of four interconnected aspects: processing, microstructural features, functional performance as well as the design of an appropriate theoretical and predictive framework of protective surfaces.
