Nanoscale Materials & Modelling Volume Published
The Materials Research Society (MRS) of Warrendale, PA, USA has published Volume 821 in its Symposium Proceedings Series, titled 'Nanoscale Materials and Modeling - Relations Among Processing, Microstructure and Mechanical Properties'. The new volume addresses structure-processing-mechanical property relations in nanoscale materials.
Specific systems, such as single and multilayer thin films, nanodots, nanoporous and nanocomposite materials and nanostructured metals and alloys are featured. A focus session on theory, modelling and simulation of mechanical properties at the nanoscale - and another on grain boundaries and interfaces in nanoscale materials - are included, the latter as a joint session with Symposium N - Interfacial Engineering for Optimized Properties.
The first three parts of the volume are devoted to processing methods for nanostructured materials, including vapour and electro-deposition techniques, mechanical deformation such as ball milling and ECAP and elevated temperature techniques such as sintering and solidification. Part IV is devoted to internal stress and the physics of strengthening mechanisms at the nanoscale. The remaining two parts highlight mechanical properties such as stress-strain and nanoindentation response, texture development, ductility, fracture and fatigue.
Typically, each part is ordered with experimental contributions appearing first, followed by papers describing related modelling and simulation. The first three parts emphasise structure-mechanical properties relations.
The volume (ISBN 1-55899-771-7) is hard cover with 55 papers in its 400 pages and is available at a cost of US$106 US list (US$ MRS members) or US$122 non-US.
