Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data provides a concise compilation of data and functional relationships from the fields of solid-state physics and materials in this 1200 page volume. The data, encapsulated in 914 tables and 1025 illustrations, have been selected and extracted primarily from the extensive high-quality data collection Landolt-Börnstein and also from other systematic data sources and recent publications of physical and technical property data. Many chapters are authored by Landolt-Börnstein editors, including the prominent Springer Handbook editors, W. Martienssen and H. Warlimont themselves. The Handbook is designed to be useful as a desktop reference fo...
Since the properties of MMCs can be directly designed "into" the material, they can fulfill all the demands set by design engineers. This book surveys the latest results and development possibilities for MMCs as engineering and functional materials, making it of utmost value to all materials scientists and engineers seeking in-depth background information on the potentials these materials have to offer in research, development and design engineering.
The Magnesium Technology Symposium, the event on which this collection is based, is one of the largest yearly gatherings of magnesium specialists in the world. Papers represent all aspects of the field, ranging from primary production to applications to recycling. Moreover, papers explore everything from basic research findings to industrialization. Magnesium Technology 2017 covers a broad spectrum of current topics, including alloys and their properties; cast products and processing; wrought products and processing; forming, joining, and machining; corrosion and surface finishing; ecology; and structural applications. In addition, there is coverage of new and emerging applications.
6 February 2008 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Munich air disaster in which twenty-three people, including eight of Matt Busby's 'Babes', lost their lives. Roberts' moving tribute remains a classic of football literature which powerfully captures the essence of the game in another era. Updated with new interviews and material, this book is the definitive account of the team that would not die. Published for the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash (06/02/08), this book is a football classic, which compliments Aurum's sports classics list. The author is well-respected journalist. It includes new interviews and updated epilogue. It is perennially emotive and important subject for football fans, especially in Manchester. John Roberts is a retired journalist. He previously wrote for the Independent, Guardian and Daily Mail and the Stockport Express. He lives in Stockport. 'An inspiring as well as tragic story...a first-class reporting job.' Manchester Evening News '...super idea, beaverish research and unaffected style' Ian Wooldridge, Daily Mail 'Moving and commendably unsentimental' Daily Telegraph
Magnesium, with a density of 1.74 g/cm2, is the lightest structural metal and magnesium are increasingly chosen for weight-critical applications such as in land-based transport systems. "Magnesium Technology" substantially updates and complements existing reference sources on this key material. It assembles international contributions from seven countries covering a wide range of research programs into new alloys with the requisite property profiles, i.e., the current state of both research and technological applications of magnesium. In particular, the international team of authors covers key topics, such as: casting and wrought alloys; fabrication methods; corrosion and protection; engineering requirements and strategies, with examples from the automobile, aerospace, and consumer-goods industries, and recycling. This authoritative reference and overview addresses materials researchers as well as design engineers.
Uncover the true story behind the tragic Munich air disaster of 6 February 1958, the night that 8 of the Manchester United's 'Busby Babes' died They were players about to become legends, the famous Manchester United 'Busby Babes', the back-to-back title winning side of 1956 and 1957 on the hunt for a third successive league win and seeking glory in the European Champions Cup. With an average age of 22, the 'Busby Babes' were the cream of English football and seemed destined to dominate English and European football for years to come. Instead, on 6 February 1958, they were tragically cut down in their prime. On a fuel stopover on their way home from a Champions Cup fixture against Red Star Be...
