Fundamental Forces Of Nature: The Story Of Gauge Fields

Huang Kerson Huang

Dislocations in Solids

Dislocations are lines of irregularity in the structure of a solid analogous to the bumps in a badly laid carpet. Like these bumps they can be easily moved, and they provide the most important me...

Extreme Man-Made and Natural Hazards in Dynamics of Structures

The book provides a critical assessment of the current knowledge and indicates new challenges which are brought about by the present times in fighting man-made and natural hazards in transient ana...

Ion Implantation and Synthesis of Materials
