Conclusions: A City Awaits -- Index.Political meaning in architecture has been a subject of interest to many critics and writers. The most notable of these include Charles T. Goodsell and Kenneth Frampton. In Goodsell's (1988) statement “Political places are not randomly or casually brought into existence” (ibid, p. 8), the stipulation is that architecture has been used very deliberately in the past to bolster connotations of power and strength in cities representative of larger nations and political movements. The question central to this book relates to how this can be achieved. Goodsell argues that any study of the interplay between political ideology, architecture, and identity, demands a place imbued with political ideas opposed to “cold concepts and lifeless abstractions” (Goodsell 1988, p. 1). As a means through which to examine and evaluate the ways in which the development of cities can be influenced by political and ideological tendencies, this book focuses on Berlin, as a political discourse, given its significant destruction and reorganisation to reinstate its identity in the context of geopolitics and the advent of globalisation.Springer Geography,2194-315XPolitical scienceElectronic books.Political science.711.40943155Mair Neil913779Zaman Quazi MahtabMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910427040803321Berlin: a city awaits2047288UNINA03896nam 2200457 450 991083103880332120230629215927.01-119-42046-61-119-42050-41-119-42045-8(MiAaPQ)EBC6889698(Au-PeEL)EBL6889698(CKB)21250991700041(EXLCZ)992125099170004120220926d2021 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEngineering physics of high temperature materials metals, ice, rocks and ceramics /Nirmal K.

Engineering Physics of High-Temperature Materials Newark : John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,c2021 9781119420484 Includes bibliographical references and index."Engineering Physics of High Temperature Materials: Metals, Ice, Rocks and Ceramics addresses an issue that is universally acknowledged and documented - that is, what causes a material to deform and fail at high temperatures and, more importantly, what are the mechanisms involved in the deformation processes leading to failure. This applies to ice, glass, ceramics, rocks and complex high-temperature alloys, including single crystals, used in gas-turbine engines. Volume highlights include: Experimental and theoretical studies on temperature-microstructure dependent delayed-elasticity (used to be called 'anelasticity') at high homologous temperature that has ready applications to the analysis of lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) temperature regime inferred from seismic velocities Establishes the facts that engineering physics of polycrystalline ice and ice sheets, floating on their own melt, hence at extremely high homologous temperatures, are analogous to Earth's Asthenosphere and complex engineering materials like metallic alloys and ceramics used at high temperatures > 0.4Tm, where Tm is the melting point Presents and emphasizes the fundamental grain-scale and lattice-scale (dislocations slip, climb and pileups) microstructural and micromechanical similarities of apparently different materials, such as metals, metallic alloys, ice, rocks and ceramics Development of novel experimental technique, 'Strain Relaxation and Recovery Test (SRRT)' for characterization of the pivotal, yet neglected, role of delayed elasticity in shaping the primary creep, and nucleation and multiplication of grain-boundary cracks during this period Development of Elasto-Delayed Elastic-Viscous (EDEV) equation that offers unified mathematical and physical descriptions of the (a) shapes of 'constant-stress creep curve' (primary, transitional minimum creep rate and tertiary), (b) 'constant strain-rate stress-strain curve' and (c) 'constant-strain stress relaxation' Engineering Physics of High Temperature Materials is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of crystallography, mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, metamorphic geology, geophysics, glaciology, tectonics, engineering, mechanics, thermodynamics, high-temperature deformation, physics, metallurgy, ceramics, alloys, and material sciences."--Provided by publisher.Materials at high temperaturesDeformations (Mechanics)Materials at high temperatures.Deformations (Mechanics)620.11217Sinha Nirmal K(Engineer),1342204Sinha ShomaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831038803321Engineering physics of high temperature materials4121591UNINA
