This book details new materials development for these land, air, and space transportation applications, emphasizing physical properties, research theories, and cutting-edge processing technologies, as well as advanced high-precision inspection methodologies.
As transportation systems for land, air, and space vehicles continue to grow increasingly sophisticated, more advanced materials are needed to support their development and commercialization. Materials for Land, Air, and Space Transportation details new materials development for these transportation applications, emphasizing physical properties, research theories, and cutting-edge processing technologies, as well as advanced high-precision inspection methodologies.
Covers materials, design, and manufacturing for lightweight vehicles, high-speed trains, fuel cell vehicles, and aerospace and aeronautical use.
Focuses on the newest material function and processing technologies, covering nanotechnology, modern additive manufacturing techniques, and physical and mechanical studies of structure-sensitive properties of materials.
Describes theoretical deduction, numerical simulation, and experimental studies of various materials.
This reference will be of interest to engineers and researchers in the disciplines of materials, mechanical, and transportation engineering, and related areas.
