Kinetics in Materials Science and Engineering

Beschreibung

"This book is intended to be an undergraduate text for junior and senior level students majoring in materials science and engineering (MSE). Most MSE undergraduate programs have a one-semester kinetics course in their curricula that has taken the place of a classical physical chemistry course and one or more courses on materials processing. This book is not intended to be a reference work that summarizes and evaluates all of the reactions and phase transformations of importance in materials science and engineering, although some unique topics are presented. Given the breadth of the field today--metals, ceramics, electronic materials, polymers, biomaterials, and composites--it is not feasible to cover all of kinetics. Nevertheless, it does cover considerably more material than can be covered in a one semester course and includes approaches and topics that are rarely found elsewhere that might be useful to graduate students, researchers, and industrial practitioners. One goal of this book is to incorporate important concepts that all students in materials science and engineering should be exposed to at some point in their careers based on the author's personal experience as a student, researcher, practicing engineer, and instructor over a number of years"--

Readey is University Emeritus Professor of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, where he served as the H. F. Coors Distinguished Professor of Ceramic Engineering and Director of the Colorado Center for Advanced Ceramics for seventeen years. Prior to that, he served as chairman of the Department of Ceramic Engineering at Ohio State University. He has been performing research on kinetic processes in materials for almost fifty years and teaching the subject for over thirty years. Before entering academia, he was a program manager in the Division of Physical Research of what is now the Department of Energy, where he was responsible for funding materials research in universities and national laboratories. Earlier, he was also group leader in the Research Division of the Raytheon Company and in the Materials Division of Argonne National Laboratory. He had been active in the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for a number of years representing TMS (The Mining, Minerals, and Materials Society) and served on several government committees including the Space Sciences Board and the National Materials Advisory Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of several professional societies and is a fellow of ASM International (formerly the American Society of Metals) and a fellow, distinguished life member, and Past-President of the American Ceramic Society. Dr. Readey's research has involved gaseous and aqueous corrosion of ceramics, the effect of atmospheres on sintering, the properties of porous ceramics, processing and properties of ceramic-metal composites, and the electronic properties of compounds, particularly transparent conducting oxides and microwave and infrared materials. He advised 29 Ph.D. and 42 M.S. degree theses, which generated about 120 publications and 13 patents. He received a B.S. degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Notre Dame and a Sc.D. in ceramic engineering from MIT.
