Kinetics of Materials 1st Edition by Robert W. Balluffi (PDF)

Description

KINETICS OF MATERIALSA CLASSROOM-TESTED TEXTBOOK PROVIDING A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC KINETIC PROCESSES IN MATERIALSThis textbook, reflecting the hands-on teaching experience of its three authors, evolved from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s first-year graduate curriculum in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. It discusses key topics collectively representing the basic kinetic processes that cause changes in the size, shape, composition, and atomistic structure of materials. Readers gain a deeper understanding of these kinetic processes and of the properties and applications of materials.Topics are introduced in a logical order, enabling students to develop a solid foundation before advancing to more sophisticated topics. Kinetics of Materials begins with diffusion. offering a description of the elementary manner in which atoms and molecules move around in solids and liquids. Next, the more complex motion of dislocations and interfaces is addressed. Finally, still more complex kinetic phenomena, such as morphological evolution and phase transformations, are treated. Throughout the textbook, readers are instilled with an appreciation of the subjects analytic foundations and, in many cases, the approximations commonly used in the field. The authors offer many extensive derivations of important results to help illuminate their origins. While the principal focus is on kinetic phenomena in crystalline materials, select phenomena in noncrystalline materials are also discussed. In many cases, the principles involved apply to all materials. Exercises with accompanying solutions are provided throughout Kinetics of Materials, enabling readers to put their newfound knowledge into practice. In addition, bibliographies are offered with each chapter, helping readers to investigate specialized topics in greater detail. Several appendices presenting important background material are also included. With its unique range of topics, progressive structure, and extensive exercises, this classroom- tested textbook provides an enriching learning experience for first-year graduate students.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an excellent book. I have used it three times to teach a course with the same title. The students like the book even though they find it challenging. The solved problems at the end of each chapter are an integral part of this book and the students and I have found it beneficial to work through all the details of the solutions that are provided. The introduction to diffusion through Onsager’s irreversible thermodynamic treatment is basic to the subject and is the only book I am aware of in the field of materials science and engineering that commences with this treatment. The authors provide an introduction to irreversible thermodynamics that is very readable. Many of the chapters have excellent tables that summarize the main results.David N. SeidmanWalter P.

⭐The book is in good condition. The hardcover fade a little bit but the content is perfect as a new one.

⭐Good book for engineers. Even though it is really deep sometimes and hard to get (for me at least), it still covers the essential stuff in depth. And the problems have the solution.

⭐Amazing, new book, was surprised to see it so new. Thank you.

⭐Good

⭐THis book provides a very comprehensive introduction to the topic. Would have been nicer if it had ventured further into some of the topics especially the thermodynamics aspects of it, but is generally a brilliant book.

⭐The problems in the back of each section are partially worked out and are pretty important in making the concepts concrete.

⭐In good condition.

⭐An excellent book that presents the fundamentals of processes, such as ion diffusion, that govern material kinetics.

⭐MITのOCWに講義ノートが掲載さている教科書。第一刷は極めて多量のミスプリがあります。万一買ってしまった場合は、本と同名のサイトで修正情報が入手できます。非平衡の現象を統一して理解するための本です。昔私は結晶成長、相分離なと熱力学の範疇で教わりました。拡散は偏微分方程式の解としてです。最初にfluxが厳密に導入されます。安達のベクトル解析でポンとV・Aの内積で出てくる流量(流束)ですが、重要です。学卒対象の教科書なので、ベクトル解析は最低限習得していないと最初から躓きます。私は、これから勉強やりなおしです。というか、速度論は初めて勉強です。今の若い人はいいですね。

⭐Not found.
