C N R Rao 《Bulletin of Materials Science》1993,16(6):405-431
Solid state chemistry was in its infancy when the author got interested in the subject. In this article, the author outlines
the manner in which the subject has grown over the last four decades, citing representative examples from his own contributions
to the different facets of the subject. The various aspects covered include synthesis, structure, defects, phase transitions,
transition metal oxides, catalysts, superconductors, metal clusters and fullerenes. In an effort to demonstrate the breadth
and vitality of the subject, the author shares his own experiences and aspirations and gives expression to the agony and ecstacy
in carrying out experimental research in such a frontier area in India.

A second ceramic age started in the mid-twentieth century as a new, exciting materials frontier. Electroceramics with phenomenally
wide range of electrical resistivity (spread over 30 orders of magnitude) span insulators, semiconductors, metal-like conductors,
ionic conductors, and, recently, superconductors. They also include ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics and electro-optics
beside ferrites. Advances in electroceramics have been fascinating and rapid, leading to unprecedented rates of industrial
growth. Age-old limitations of poor mechanical strength and brittleness of ceramics are being overcome by outstanding toughness
and strength achieved in zirconiabased ceramics exploiting the martensitic transformation at the tetragonal-monoclinic phase
change. The dimensional changes at this transition which prevented the use of zirconia earlier has now been turned into a
mechanism for toughening ceramics to significant levels. Ceramics with near-zero overall thermal expansion coefficient offer
new opportunities to science and industry.

A meeting of the Taylor Vortex Flow Working Party was held at the University of Karlsruhe from 20–26th May, 1985. It was attended by fifty-three engineers, mathematicians, physicists and chemists from Australia, Belgium, France, United Kingdom, U.S.A. and West Germany. During the colloquium, twenty-three papers were presented and discussed. The contributions covered the whole range of the subject including end-and initial-effects, new geometries, new working fluids and also wavy mode and time-dependent Taylor vortex flows. This report gives brief summaries of the papers presented. 相似文献

Universities play a key role in developing future engineers who understand the full scope of the product realization process, and are well equipped to produce effective, creative solutions to open-ended problems. A key step toward instilling the problem-solving mind-set in students is to lay the proper foundation early. Thus, a new cornerstone course, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design, has been developed in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University to bridge the gap between the freshman science and mathematics courses, and the more traditional mechanical engineering core courses such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and machine design. This paper presents the goals of the new sophomore course, some details of its implementation, and results of the first three offerings. The primary goal of the course is to teach the students effective strategies for solving problems that have many acceptable solutions. This goal is met by a mixture of design theory presentations and design practice in a carefully guided semester-long project. Distinction is made throughout the course between effective problem-solving strategies for single-solution problems, common in math, physics, and chemistry courses for example, and multiple-solution problem-solving strategies. Results from the first three offerings of this course indicate that it is changing the way students approach problems in their later courses. Plans for future revisions of the course are also included. 相似文献

Buildings collapse, vehicles crash, cranes and bridges collapse. Why? Who is responsible? Forensic engineers must analyze failures to determine causes, origins, and legal responsibilities of accidents, fires, and explosions. This is the subject of a new course offered in spring 2005 at Youngstown State University (YSU) entitled Engineering Forensics Using the Scanning Electron Microscope. The course included a lab in which undergraduate students conducted failure analysis investigations involving the use of the scanning electron microscope and the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The creation of this course was a collaborative effort between the Forensic Science and the Materials Engineering Programs at YSU. This paper describes how this course was forged from a combination of the principles of forensic science with engineering failure analysis techniques. 相似文献

This special issue acknowledges the seminal contribution of Professor Andrew Keller to polymer science and brings together contributions from his many colleagues and friends as a tribute to his memory. It is particularly appropriate that the Journal of Materials Science publishes such a memorial, as Andrew played a key role in the foundation and development of the Journal to its present position at the international forefront of the field. Andrew was a member of the enlightened group of Editors, chaired by Robert Cahn, which launched Journal of Materials Science in 1966. At that time, the concept of Materials Science as an integrated discipline covering the structure, properties processing and application of all materials was novel. From the outset, Andrew was responsible for nurturing and encouraging the submission of polymer papers and for ensuring appropriate refereeing, much of which he performed personally or through his group in Bristol. Given his enthusiasm and insight, many authors found their papers considerably improved by the quality of the refereeing process. 相似文献

The scientific productivity of six old Universities in Nigeria has been computed over the period 1970–79. The order of contribution is by University of Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello University, Universities of Ife, Nigeria, Lagos and Benin. While there is a real growth in Scientific research in Nigeria as a whole, some of the Universities have problems which have put their research efforts on a downward trend. A new order of Scientific contributions by the Universities appears to be emerging. Constant Scientific growth analysis will help the new bodies involved in formulating and coordinating Science policy in Nigeria. 相似文献

Abstract The emphasis from ABET to integrate the design experience across the curriculum has initiated a call for action to engineering departments across the country. This challenges engineering educators to include design in a wide variety of engineering courses and to prevent this emphasis from foreshadowing the subject material of each course. A comprehensive approach is needed where the design work is not a separate entity, but rather is an additional tool which can be used to teach the fundamentals of engineering. This paper reports on the advances of one institution in responding to the call to integrate design across the engineering curriculum. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) has established a design philosophy that treats design education as a developmental process to be practiced during each of the four undergraduate years. To put that philosophy into practice, the USCGA has restructured the engineering curriculum to ensure that students experience design content in their courses each year. This viewpoint of design as a developmental process is consistent with the broad educational objectives of the institution. This paper presents examples of design work from courses in each year of the students' education to illustrate the variety of design problems used to incorporate design across the curriculum. The experiences at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy have been positive and indicate the design across the curriculum initiative can be implemented without drastically impacting faculty workload. 相似文献

An integrated system of databases on the properties of inorganic substances and materials has been developed, currently combining the database of the A.A. Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, and an AtomWork database on the properties of inorganic substances, developed at the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan). This system is developed as an information service for specialists and for computer-aided design of new inorganic compounds, which was supported by an elaborate information-analytical system. The results of application of this system for compound design that have not yet been synthesized are presented. 相似文献
