Materials in mechanical extremes : fundamentals and applications / Neil Bourne.
No full textengineering bookfair2016Includes bibliographical references and index.xi, 528 pages :"This unified guide brings together the underlying principles, and predictable material responses, that connect metals, polymers, brittle solids and energetic materials as they respond to extreme external stresses. Previously disparate scientific principles, concepts and terminology are combined within a single theoretical framework, across different materials and scales, to provide all the tools necessary to understand, and calculate, the responses of materials and structures to extreme static and dynamic loading. Real-world examples illustrate how material behaviours produce a component response, enabling recognition - and avoidance - of the deformation mechanisms that contribute to mechanical failure. A final synoptic chapter presents a case study of extreme conditions brought about by the infamous Chicxulub impact event. Bringing together simple concepts from diverse fields into a single, accessible, rigorous text, this is an indispensable reference for all researchers and practitioners in materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, physical chemistry and geophysics"-- Provided by publisher

CLINICAL & RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF LOCALLY APPLIED CHITOSAN AROUND DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CONTROLLED DIABETIC PATIENTS
No full textBackground: Oral rehabilitation by dental implants in patients with diabetes remains a controversial issue. Recent advances in biotechnology and study of different biomaterials contribute to the knowledge of what is known today as “tissue engineering.” Chitosan has been used in bone tissue engineering as it promotes growth and mineral rich matrix deposition by osteoblasts. Chitosan is also biocompatible, biodegradable, besides; it’s antibacterial and wound healing effects.
Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of locally applied Chitosan on bone healing around dental implants in controlled diabetic patients.
Materials and Methods: Ten completely edentulous controlled diabetic patients participated in this study. Each patient received two implants inserted bilaterally in the mandibular interforaminal area. A split mouth technique was used in this study; Chitosan was applied locally in the right osteotomy sites before implant insertion. mandibular overdentures retained by ball and socket attachments were constructed for all patients. Patients were placed on a recall program for 18-months were clinical assessment, alveolar bone height and bone density around implants were measured using digital radiography.Egyptian dental journa

The finite element method with heat transfer and fluid mechanics applications / Erian A. Baskharone.
No full textengineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xvii, 373 p. :"This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The first four chapters are devoted to the introduction of the finite element concept. The focus of the book then covers two essential areas - heat transfer and fluid mechanics: topics with different finite element formulations. The heat transfer applications begin with the classical one-dimensional thin-rod problem, followed by a discussion of the two-dimensional heat transfer problem including a variety of boundary conditions. Finally, a complicated-geometry three-dimensional problem, involving a cooled radial turbine rotor, is presented, with the cooling passages treated as "heat sinks" in the finite element analysis. For fluid mechanics, the concept of "nodeless" degrees of freedom is introduced, with real-life fluid-flow applications. The time-dependent finite-element analysis topic is addressed through the problem of unsteady stator/rotor flow interaction within a turbomachinery stage. Finally, the concept of "virtually-deformable finite elements," as it relates to the problem of fluid-induced vibration, is explained in detail with many practical applications"-- Provided by publisher
The sustainable cybernetics of formal language in Islamic cities
No full textSustainable development is not a process to reach an end state but rather an ongoing process. Sustainability is the self-evident term for the dynamic equilibrium between man and nature and for the co-evolution of both within the Gaia mega-system. The complementary system in nature in its profusion of formal language is expressed in infinite multidimensional patterns. Approaches to form generation that operates without employing a priori categories of form have required a new definition of the concept of form. Here the distinction between form and formation becomes significant. If we study architecture as the history of meaningful form, we will discover man, nature and we will know how God gave us the tools for real creativity. Creativity involves the development of original, imaginative ideas, usually for a particular purpose and can be situated in both cognitive and social domains. For the purpose of cultural heritage presence, we shall be dealing with the cybernetics theory, especially the second-order cybernetics that can contribute to symbiotic dialogues between societies, at a side, and art, architecture and urbanism on the other side. In this regard, we shall try to reach an understanding for the sustainable creative process considering changes in human faculties in Islamic cities. This paper tries to discover the ability of historic cities to become a source of inspiration which enables a society to innovate by re-interpreting the past, overcoming the dichotomies resulting from a single-minded pursuit of a narrow vision of progress. It will also try to identify the way in which a creative exploration and a careful evolution of historic cities can give birth to cultural continuity that can re-establish an organic link with the past, for the sake of re-integrating human wholeness and for motivations that goes beyond the rationality of these cities
