Megumi is frustrated by physics. She befriends physics whiz Ryota, who teaches her about Newton's laws of motion, vectors and scalars, inertia, velocity, and acceleration. With extended explanations and examples, this informative and charming guide will have readers up to speed on the physics of motion in no time.
Focuses on functional aspects of nanostructured materials that have a high relevance to immediate applications, such as catalysis, energy harvesting, energy storage, optical properties and surface functionalization via self-assembly. This book contains chapters on basic properties and requirements of nanostructured materials and composites.
Fiber reinforced composite materials encompass a wide range of material classes from reinforced glasses, plastics, and rubbers through to various metals and ceramics. This book introduces the topic with a history of composite development, a review of composite applications, the types of fibre used, and their respective individual properties.
Includes examples, solved problems, and practice exercises to test skills. This book offers: practice problems with explanations that reinforce knowledge; coverage of various developments in the course field; and review of practices and applications.
Reveals the beauty of physics while highlighting its essential role in the Life Sciences. This book focuses on the applications and relevance of physics in the life sciences. Taking an algebra-based approach with a fresh layout, art program, and use of conceptual examples, it provides a fresh approach to the basic physics concepts.
