Materials Modelling: From Theory to Technology

by English

Overview

In Materials Modelling: From Theory to Technology, a distinguished collection of authors has been assembled to celebrate the 60th birthday of Dr. R. Bullough, FRS and honor his contribution to the subject over the past 40 years. The volume explores subjects that have implications in a wide range of technologies, focusing on how basic research can be applied to real problems in science and engineering. Linking theory and technology, the book progresses from the theoretical background to current and future practical applications of modeling. Accessible to a diverse audience, it requires little specialist knowledge beyond a physics degree. The book is useful reading for postgraduates and researchers in condensed matter, nuclear engineering, and physical metallurgy, in addition to workers in R&D laboratories and the high technology industry.

Editorial Reviews

The proceedings of a September 1991 symposium at Oxford University provide an overview of the current developments and application of materials modelling in four major areas: the theory and observation of crystal defects, radiation damage in materials, modelling fracture, and sensors and electronic behavior. The 34 papers progress from the most basic to the most applied, emphasizing the dynamic nature of materials modelling, and the constant return to basic thinking needed to provide the tools and stimulus for applications.
