Free Download Cryo-Electron Tomography: Structural Biology in situ (Focus on Structural Biology) by Friedrich Förster, Ariane Briegel
English | May 1, 2024 | ISBN: 3031511700 | 397 pages | MOBI | 30 Mb
This book presents key aspects and recent developments of cryogenic sample electron tomography (cryo-ET) methodology, authored by leading experts in the field. Understanding structure and function of biomolecules in the context of cells is a new frontier in cellular and structural biology. To facilitate such research, cryo-ET is a key method to visualize the molecules of life in their native settings. Cryo-ET enables the imaging of samples that are preserved in a near-native state, at (macro)-molecular resolution and in three dimensions. Thus, this technique is a unique tool to gain insights into how biomolecules collaborate in orchestrating fundamental biological processes, how mutations cause diseases, pathogens cause infections, and to develop novel therapeutics to treat such illnesses. This book provides a unique reference for the emerging field of cryo-ET.

Free Download Additive Manufacturing of Structural Electronics (De Gruyter STEM) by Marcin Słoma
English | May 6, 2024 | ISBN: 3110793598 | MOBI | 4.23 Mb
Additive manufacturing, also called rapid prototyping or 3D printing is a disruptive manufacturing technique with a significant impact in electronics. With 3D printing, bulk objects with circuitry are embedded in the volume of an element or conformally coated on the surface of existing parts, allowing design and manufacturing of smaller and lighter products with fast customisation. The book covers both materials selection and techniques. The scope also covers the research areas of additive manufacturing of passive and active components, sensors, energy storage, bioelectronics and more.

Free Download Strain Hardening Cement Composites: Structural Design and Performance: State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 208-HFC, SC3 By Kanakubo Toshiyuki, Petr Kabele, Hiroshi Fukuyama, Yuichi Uchida, Haruhiko Suwada, Volker Slowik (auth.), Keitetsu Rokugo, Tetsushi Kanda (eds.)

Strain Hardening Cement Composites, SHCC hereafter, demonstrate excellent mechanical behavior showing tensile strain hardening and multiple fine cracks. This strain hardening behavior improves the durability of concrete structures employing SHCC and the multiple fine cracks enhance structural performance. Reliable tensile performance of SHCC enables us to design structures explicitly accounting for SHCC’s tensile properties. Reinforced SHCC elements (R/SHCC) indicate large energy absorbing performance under large seismic excitation. Against various types of loads, R/SHCC elements can be designed by superimposing re-bar performance and SHCC’s tensile performance. This report focuses on flexural design, shear design, FE modeling and anti-seismic design of R/SHCC elements as well as application examples. Establishing design methods for new materials usually leads to exploring application areas and this trend should be demonstrated by collecting actual application examples of SHCC in structures.

Free Download Deformation of Three-layer Structural Elements in Thermal Radiation Fields by Starovoitov Eduard , Michael Zhuravkov , Denis Leonenko , Yongtao Lyu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 386 Pages | ISBN : 9819772168 | 59.4 MB
This book methodically details the formulations and approaches to solve boundary value problems, which are essential for determining the stress-strain states in three-layer rods and plates subjected to both single and quasi-static variable loads in thermal radiation and force fields. It duly considers the complex influences on the physically nonlinear properties of the materials in each layer. The book offers several innovative analytical solutions and a numerical parametric analysis of the stress-strain scenarios in these structures.

Free Download Robust Structural Design against Self-Excited Vibrations By Gottfried Spelsberg-Korspeter (auth.)
2013 | 100 Pages | ISBN: 3642365515 | PDF | 3 MB
This book studies methods for a robust design of rotors against self-excited vibrations. The occurrence of self-excited vibrations in engineering applications if often unwanted and in many cases difficult to model. Thinking of complex systems such as machines with many components and mechanical contacts, it is important to have guidelines for design so that the functionality is robust against small imperfections. This book discusses the question on how to design a structure such that unwanted self-excited vibrations do not occur. It shows theoretically and practically that the old design rule to avoid multiple eigenvalues points toward the right direction and have optimized structures accordingly. This extends results for the well-known flutter problem in which equations of motion with constant coefficients occur to the case of a linear conservative system with arbitrary time periodic perturbations.

Free Download Structural Complexity I By José Luis Balcázar, Josep Díaz, Joaquim Gabarró
1995 | 222 Pages | ISBN: 3642792375 | PDF | 13 MB
In the six years since the first edition of this book was published, the field of Structural Complexity has grown quite a bit. However, we are keeping this volume at the same basic level that it had in the first edition, and the only new result incorporated as an appendix is the closure under complementation of nondeterministic space classes, which in the previous edition was posed as an open problem. This result was already included in our Volume II, but we feel that due to the basic nature of the result, it belongs to this volume. There are of course other important results obtained during these last six years. However, as they belong to new areas opened in the field they are outside the scope of this fundamental volume. Other changes in this second edition are the update of some Bibliograph ical Remarks and references, correction of many mistakes and typos, and a renumbering of the definitions and results. Experience has shown us that this new numbering is a lot more friendly, and several readers have confirmed this opinion. For the sake of the reader of Volume II, where all references to Volume I follow the old numbering, we have included here a table indicating the new number corresponding to each of the old ones.

Free Download Steels: From Materials Science to Structural Engineering By Wei Sha (auth.)
2013 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 1447148711 | PDF | 8 MB
Steels and computer-based modelling are fast growing fields in materials science as well as structural engineering, demonstrated by the large amount of recent literature.Steels: From Materials Science to Structural Engineering combines steels research and model development, including the application of modelling techniques in steels. The latest research includes structural engineering modelling, and novel, prototype alloy steels such as heat-resistant steel, nitride-strengthened ferritic/martensitic steel and low nickel maraging steel. Researchers studying steels will find the topics vital to their work. Materials experts will be able to learn about steels used in structural engineering as well as modelling and apply this increasingly important technique in their steel materials research and development.
