Advanced Methods and Technologies in Metallurgy in Russia

by Stavros Syngellakis (Editor), Jerome J Connor (Editor)

Overview

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent and advanced work on metallurgy sciences and technologies--including material characterization of complicated alloys, heat and surface treatment, ferrous metals metallurgy, and energy savings in pyrometallurgy--in the important Ural industrial region of Russia. Until recently, research into scientific and engineering problems within Russia developed along different lines than those in Europe and North America, but nevertheless resulted in remarkable achievements utilizing different tools and methodologies than those used in the West. Many of these achievements – particularly in metallurgy – were made in the Urals.

About the Author

Dr. Stavros Syngellakis is Adjunct Professor of Materials and Structures at the Wessex Institute of Technology, Ashurst, Southampton, UK. He holds a Diploma in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and a PhD from Princeton University, USA. He is also a senior lecturer in the School of Engineering Sciences and a member of the Computational Engineering and Design research group at the University of Southampton.

Dr. Jerome J. Connor is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests include computational mechanics, structural analysis, motion based structural design, and novel design methodologies for structural systems and has taught courses in computational mechanics and structural engineering. In recent years Connor’s work has involved motion based design and damage assessment of engineering materials and he is directing a number of projects related to theapplications of structural control to large civil structures as well as investigating methods to quantify damage in engineering materials.
