Metal Fatigue:Effects of Small Defects and Nonmetallic Inclusions

Author - Yukitaka Murakami
Publisher – Academic Press
Pages and Year - 758 p. 2019

Metal fatigue is an essential consideration for engineers and researchers looking at factors that cause metals to fail through stress, corrosion, or other processes. Predicting the influence of small defects and non-metallic inclusions on fatigue with any degree of accuracy is a particularly complex part of this.Metal Fatigue: Effects of Small Defects and Nonmetallic Inclusions is the most trusted, detailed and comprehensive guide to this subject available.

Paper : Paging Through History

Series - Pulp and Paper Technology
Author - Mark Kurlansky
Publisher – WW Norton & Co
Pages and Year - 416 p. 2017

For the past two millennia, the ability to produce paper in ever more efficient ways has supported the proliferation of literacy, media, religion, education, commerce and art. It has created civilisations, fostering the fomenting of revolutions and the stabilising of regimes. Now, on the cusp of "going paperless", Mark Kurlansky challenges common assumptions about technology's influence, affirming that paper is here to stay.

Emission and Control of Trace Elements from Coal-Derived Gas Streams

Series - Energy
Author - Yongchun Zhao, Hailong Li, Jianping Yang,
Publisher – Woodhead Publishing
Pages and Year - 424 p. 2019

Emission and Control of Trace Elements from Coal-Derived Gas Streams presents an up-to-date and focused analysis on Trace element (TEs) emissions and control strategies during coal utilization. This book provides insights into how TE’s in coal are distributed from different coal-forming periods, coal ranks and coal-bearing regions. As the emission and control of TEs during coal utilization are a significant concern, this book introduces TEs in coal and pollution in an accessible way before discussing why they occur and how they are distributed during various stages of coal forming, also considering various regions and countries
