Physics and Mechanics of New Materials

This new volume covers new advances in materials science and engineering technology, focusing on practical rather than theoretical aspects that are useful for the design, fabrication, testing, and industrial application of advanced materials and structures. It provides an overview of modern ferrites with special attention to their structure, types, and properties, discusses the impact of technological change upon the application of selected materials and energy resources, and presents case studies in thermophysics and applied mechanics for engineering technology that illustrate the physical, chemical, and material properties of a range of modern materials.
