Sommario/riassunto

In this beautifully illustrated guide, two practicing wildlife biologists describe the life histories of forty-five species of ducks, geese, and swans that occur in Texas. For common species and those that breed in the state, each account begins with an interesting fact (such as, "Red-breasted Mergansers have been clocked at over 80 mph, the fastest recorded flight speed for a duck . . .") and provides information on



Texas distribution and harvest, population status, diet, range and habitats, reproduction, and appearance. Exquisite photographs, information

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights the fundamentals and latest progresses in the research and applications of laser shock peening (LSP). As a novel



technology for surface treatment, LSP greatly improves the resistance of metallic materials to fatigue and corrosion. The book presents the mechanisms, techniques, and applications of LSP in a systematic way. It discusses a series of new progresses in fatigue performance improvement of metal parts with LSP. It also introduces lasers, equipment, and techniques of newly developed industry LSP, with a detailed description of the novel LSP blisk. The book demonstrates in details numerical analysis and simulation techniques and illustrates process stability control, quality control, and analysis determination techniques. It is a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and students in the fields of laser science, materials science, astronautics, and aeronautics who seek to understand, develop, and optimize LSP processes.
