Voids in Materials (eBook, ePUB)

From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Voids in Materials treats voids of different shapes and forms in various materials, and examines their effects on material properties. The book covers the origins of voids in materials, how they are sometimes introduced in the form of hollow spheres, and the resultant properties of materials containing voids.

There are many books that focus on foams (which intentionally incorporate voids into materials) and that cover voids incidental to or unwanted in the fabrication of non-porous materials. In fact, all materials have voids. This book starts from the premise that voids are pervasive in all material on some level. It goes beyond foams to provide a comprehensive overview of voids, a central reference for scientists and engineers to use for the effect of voids in materials.

• Includes 3D renderings of void geometries
• Explains how and why voids are introduced into materials across the length scales; from nanometer-scale voids up to macro-scale voids
• Provides a continuous picture of how material properties change as the volume fraction of voids increases, and the implications for product design

Autorenporträt

Gary Gladysz is an adjunct associate professor of materials
science and engineering at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, United States and founder at X-Link 3D. He
received his PhD from the New Mexico Institute of Mining
and Technology, where he participated in the NATO
Collaborative Program with the German Aerospace Institute
(DLR). Since receiving his PhD, he has led research efforts in
university, government, and industrial settings. He has extensive
research experience designing and characterizing thermoset
composite materials for 3D printing, fibrous composites, ceramic composites,
polymers, composite foams, and thin films. As a technical staff member at Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), he was technical lead for rigid composites and
thermoset materials. In 2005 he was awarded the LANL Distinguished Performance
Group Award for his work leading materials development on the Reliable
Replacement Warhead Feasibility Project. Additionally, while the US Army, he developed
composite materials and test protocols for ballistic head protection. He has
served on funding review boards for LANL, National Science Foundation, ACS, and
the Lindbergh Foundation. He has been guest editor on many issues of leading
materials science journals, including Journal of Materials Science and Materials
Science & Engineering. He has organized many international conferences/symposia
on syntactic foams, composite materials, and innovative materials for additive
manufacturing. He started and chairs the ECI international conference series on
Syntactic and Composites Foams. He currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts,
United States.
