Book Synopsis The Biology of Reaction Wood by : Barry Gardiner
Download or read book The Biology of Reaction Wood written by Barry Gardiner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a fundamental reference source on reaction wood for wood scientists and technologists, plant biologists, silviculturists, forest ecologists, and anyone involved in the growing of trees and the processing of wood. It brings together our current understanding of all aspects of reaction wood, and is the first book to discuss both compression wood and tension wood. Trees produce reaction wood to maintain the vertical orientation of their stems and the optimum angle of each branch. They achieve this by laying down fibre cell walls in which differences in physical and chemical structure from those of normal fibres are expressed as differential stresses across the stem or branch. This process, while of obvious value for the survival of the tree, causes serious problems for the utilisation of timber. Timber derived from trees containing significant amounts of reaction wood is subject to dimensional instability on drying, causing twisting, bending and splitting. It is also difficult to work as timber, and for the pulp and paper industry the cost of removing the increased amount of lignin in compression wood is substantial. This has both practical and economic consequences for industry. Understanding the factors controlling reaction wood formation and its effect on wood structure is therefore fundamental to our understanding of the adaptation of trees to their environment and to the sustainable use of wood. The topics covered include: -Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of reaction wood -Cell-wall polymers in reaction wood and their biosynthesis -Changes in tree proteomes during reaction wood formation -The biomechanical action and biological functions of reaction wood - Physical and mechanical properties of reaction wood from the scale of cell walls to planks -The detection and characterisation of compression wood -Effects of reaction wood on the performance of wood and wood-based products - Commercial implications of reaction wood and the influence of forest management on its formation

Download or read book Building an Emergency Plan written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building an Emergency Plan provides a step-by-step guide that a cultural institution can follow to develop its own emergency preparedness and response strategy. This workbook is divided into three parts that address the three groups generally responsible for developing and implementing emergency procedures—institution directors, emergency preparedness managers, and departmental team leaders—and discuss the role each should play in devising and maintaining an effective emergency plan. Several chapters detail the practical aspects of communication, training, and forming teams to handle the safety of staff and visitors, collections, buildings, and records. Emergencies covered include natural events such as earthquakes or floods, as well as human-caused emergencies, such as fires that occur during renovation. Examples from the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the Museo de Arte Popular Americano in Chile, the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, and the Seattle Art Museum show how cultural institutions have prepared for emergencies relevant to their sites, collections, and regions.
Book Synopsis Advances in the Bonded Composite Repair of Metallic Aircraft Structure by : A.A. Baker
Download or read book Advances in the Bonded Composite Repair of Metallic Aircraft Structure written by A.A. Baker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of efficient and cost-effective technologies to repair or extend the life of aging military airframes is becoming a critical requirement in most countries around the world, as new aircraft becoming prohibitively expensive and defence budgets shrink. To a lesser extent a similar situation is arising with civil aircraft, with falling revenues and the high cost of replacement aircraft.This book looks at repair/reinforcement technology, which is based on the use of adhesively bonded fibre composite patches or doublers and can provide cost-effective life extension in many situations. From the scientific and engineering viewpoint, whilst simple in concept, this technology can be quite challenging particularly when used to repair primary structure. This is due to it being based on interrelated inputs from the fields of aircraft design, solid mechanics, fibre composites, structural adhesive bonding, fracture mechanics and metal fatigue. The technologies of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and, more recently smart materials, are also included. Operational issues are equally critical, including airworthiness certification, application technology (including health and safety issues), and training.Including contributions from leading experts in Canada, UK, USA and Australia, this book discusses most of these issues and the latest developments. Most importantly, it contains real histories of application of this technology to both military and civil aircraft.

Book Synopsis The Story of Crass by : George Berger
Download or read book The Story of Crass written by George Berger and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movement--Crass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant--detail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. This definitive biography of the band not only gives backstage access to their lives, philosophies, and the movement that followed, but also to never-before-seen photographs and rare dialogues.
Book Synopsis Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals by : Agnes Buka
Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

Download or read book State of the World's Forests 2009 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Fao. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published biennially, this title offers a global view of major developments affecting forests. It places more emphasis on the 'demand side': What will be the impact on forests of future increases in global population, economic development and globalization? "State of the World's Forests", published biennially, provides a global view of major developments affecting forests. The theme for the 2009 edition is 'Society, forests and forestry: adapting for the future'. The 2007 issue reviewed 'Progress towards sustainable forest management' with an emphasis on the 'supply side', in particular forest resources. "State of the World's Forests 2009" places more emphasis on the 'demand side': What will be the impact on forests of future increases in global population, economic development and globalization? Is the explosion in global trade having positive or negative effects on the world's forests? Will the forest sector continue to have a major role in providing livelihoods for rural communities? This eighth edition looks forward. Part One summarizes the outlook for forests and forestry in each region of the world. FAO periodically carries out regional forest sector outlook studies in collaboration with countries and organizations in each region. The results of studies for all regions are summarized and presented here for the first time in a single publication. A main pattern that emerges is a strong correlation between economic development and the state of forests. Countries that are undergoing rapid economic growth tend to struggle with immense pressures on their forests. In contrast, regions that have already achieved a high level of economic development are usually able to stabilize or increase their forest area. However, the factors affecting forests are numerous and complex, making it difficult to draw simple conclusions or to make reliable projections. Part Two considers how forestry will have to adapt for the future. It begins with a global outlook for wood products demand to 2030, noting changing patterns in production, consumption and trade. Next, a chapter on environmental services of forests probes the various market and non-market mechanisms evolving to help forests and trees fulfill their environmental service functions of land, water and biodiversity protection, carbon storage and others. A look at progress in institutional adaptation notes that many forestry institutions are having difficulty in adapting to rapid changes in communications, globalisation and society's expectations. Those institutions that are willing and able to adapt are more likely to be successful in the future. Finally, Part Two examines developments in science and technology, which will continue to have an enormous impact on the future of forests and forestry. Imagine a world in which trees are a major source of fuel for cars, replacing oil. Only a few years ago this seemed like fantasy, but today the possibility must be seriously considered.

Book Synopsis Mécanique de la rupture par fissuration by : RECHO Naman
Download or read book Mécanique de la rupture par fissuration written by RECHO Naman and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les objectifs de la mécanique de la rupture sont double, d'une part ils concernent la description des champs mécaniques au voisinage de la pointe de la fissure et les énergies qui leur sont associées et d'autre part, ils traitent de l'évaluation de la nocivité d'une fissure en terme de la propagation de celle-ci. Deux champs d'étude constituent la structure de cet ouvrage, l'un relatif à la modélisation de la singularité induite par la pointe d'une fissure qui est relatée dans le premier tome intitulé : Modélisation des champs mécaniques en pointe de fissure et des singularités. Dans ce premier tome, une introduction à la mécanique des milieux continus s'avère nécessaire. Ensuite, une démarche consistant à étudier la façon permettant de voir "Comment introduire une singularité dans un milieu continu ?" est développée. Pour ce faire, deux manières subsistent : La première, locale, consiste, d'une part, à décrire les fonctions de contraintes (voire de déformations) comme étant continues partout sauf à la pointe de la fissure et d'autre part à introduire les conditions de surfaces libres relatives aux lèvres de la fissure, il s'agit alors de l'analyse asymptotique. Quant à la seconde manière, énergétique, elle revient à évaluer le taux de restitution de l'énergie potentielle conséquente à un accroissement infinitésimal de la longueur de fissure. Le deuxième tome du livre intitulé : propagation et bifurcation de fissure, traite des critères de propagation et de bifurcation de fissure en milieu élastique et élastoplastique sous des chargement monotone (Rupture fragile) et dynamique (Rupture par Fatigue). Les solutions analytiques obtenues ne peuvent pas être utilisées dans les structures à géométrie et conditions aux limites variées, alors il sera nécessaire de faire appel aux méthodes d'analyse numérique et plus particulièrement à la méthode des éléments finis. Deux chapitres abordent ces applications numériques : l'un, en tome I, relatif à l'introduction au calcul par éléments finis des structures fissurées et l'autre, en tome II traitant de la prévision de la rupture par fissuration des éléments de structures métalliques soumises à la fatigue. Chaque phénomène étudié est abordé suivant trois volets : - sa modélisation conceptuelle et théorique, - son utilisation dans les critères de résistance à rupture - et enfin sa mise en oeuvre en terme de faisabilité et d'application numérique. Le lecteur est mis en garde quant au fait que l'essentiel des développements du livre concerne les matériaux métalliques. L'extension des conclusions au cas de matériaux composites, élastomériques et plastiques est sujet à caution.
Book Synopsis Limite de fatigue des métaux by : Claude Bathias
Download or read book Limite de fatigue des métaux written by Claude Bathias and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S’il est démontré que la rupture par fatigue peut se produire au-delà de 10^10 cycles, la question de la crédibilité de la notion de limite de fatigue normalisée se pose tant du point de vue pratique que fondamental. Après un état de l'art sur la fatigue gigacyclique des alliages industriels, cet ouvrage compile les résultats les plus récents sur cette même fatigue, incluant les phénomènes liés au champ de contraintes autour des défauts, la microplasticité, les transformations de phases, la dissipation thermique à haute fréquence, l'effet de la température et de la fréquence sur la courbe SN. Plus fondamentalement, le cas du fer Armco, bien connu pour sa courbe SN normalisée quasi-hyperbolique, est discuté dans le régime gigacyclique. Sur le plan pratique, la nonexistence du concept de durée de vie infinie est démontrée.
