Book Description

This collection of peer-reviewed papers provided a forum in which researchers, educators, engineers and government officials involved in the general areas of Materials Science and Engineering Science could describe their latest research results and exchange views on the future directions that research in these fields should take. The book will therefore serve as a handy guide to the latest trends in these fields. Review from Book News Inc.: Some 250 papers report recent developments first in the materials and engineering science then in the applications. The topics include the development of red laser positioning computer-aided-signage systems, applying neural networks in nonlinear systems, a novel smart household control system by computer vision, calculating interaction between ozone and carrier to form ozonic compounds, heat load affected by industrial noise, mechanisms of propagation of consolidated jointed rock mass, binderless particle board from steam-exploded wheat straw, characteristic structures of film induced by femtosecond laser pulse irradiation, a cascade compensation algorithm for strap-down inertial navigation systems, the numerical simulation of thermal stress fields of steel casting, polymerizing methyl methacrylate with a novel titanium complex, applying a grid map method in woven fabric with curved surface, and analyzing the stress intensity of rotor blades in hydraulic retarder. The two volumes are paged and indexed together.
