This book wishes to look instead at how disruptive events promote a network of associations and how people resort to comparison as a means to make sense of the unknown, i.e. to comprehend what seems incomprehensible. In order to effectively discuss the complexity of 9/11, this book articulates different fields of knowledge and perspectives such as visual culture, media studies, performance studies, critical theory, memory studies and literary studies to shed some light on 9/11 and analyze how the event has impacted on American social and cultural fabric and how the American society has come to terms with such a devastating event. A more in-depth study of Don DeLillo's Falling Man and Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close draws attention to the cultural construction of catastrophe and the plethora of cultural products 9/11 has inspired. It demonstrates how the event has been integrated into American culture and exemplifies what makes up the 9/11 imaginary.Culture & conflict ;Volume 9.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Social aspectsCatastrophical, TheDisastersSocial aspects(Non-)Singularity.9/11.Catastrophe.Representation.Spectacle.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Social aspects.Catastrophical, The.DisastersSocial aspects.973.931Gonçalves Diana1499330MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK991079666740332193725284UNINA04694nam 22009613a 450 991036756990332120250203235430.09783039212088303921208710.3390/books978-3-03921-208-8(CKB)4100000010106047(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/48083(ScCtBLL)8c4363fb-2698-4bf7-bd55-b3f680bebe18(OCoLC)1163806386(oapen)doab48083(oapen)48083(EXLCZ)99410000001010604720250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFriction Stir Welding and Processing in Alloy ManufacturingCarlos Agelet de SaracibarMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (142 p.)9783039212071 3039212079 Friction stir welding (FSW) is considered to be the most significant development in metal joining in decades and, in addition, is a "green" technology due to its energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and versatility. This process offers a number of advantages over conventional joining processes. Furthermore, because welding occurs via the deformation of material at temperatures below the melting temperature, many problems commonly associated with joining of dissimilar alloys can be avoided, and thus, high-quality welds are produced. Due to this fact, FSW has been widely used in different industrial applications where metallurgical characteristics should be retained, such as in the aeronautic, naval, and automotive industries. The computational modeling of FSW processes is an extremely challenging task due to the highly nonlinear and coupled nature of the physical problem and the numerical issues that need to be properly addressed. This is why the numerical simulation of FSW processes has been a very active research field in the last few decades. Despite the complexity of the physical problem and its numerical simulation, significant advances in the field have been achieved as a result of interdisciplinary research on related fields of computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, materials characterization, mathematical analysis, and numerical methods. This book collects some of the last developments in the fields of FSW, friction stir spot welding, and friction stir processing, written by well-known researchers who have contributed significantly to advances in the computational modeling, numerical simulation, and material characterization of those processes.Chemistrybicsscmicrostructurematerial flowstainless steelmaterials positionfriction stir processingsurface compositesmaterial orientationhigh nitrogen steelforce-deflection modelFSWmechanical propertiesFSW processdissimilar metal weldinglognormal distributiongrain orientationdissimilar jointsfriction-stir weldingpin shapesdeflection compensation controlplunge depth controlprocess analysishigh-temperature softening materialsAl/Fe dissimilar joiningpost-weld heat treatmentaluminum alloyabnormal grain growthparticle distributionintermetallic compoundsnon-equilibrium segregationmicrostructure analysistilt angleVickers microhardnessthe rotational speedsadaptive controloffset position controlfriction stir spot weldingfrictionplunge depthmechanical strengthmechanical behaviourdissimilar welded jointsfriction stir weldingFe-containing constituentshigh rotation speed friction stir weldingChemistryAgelet de Saracíbar Bosch Carlos1425322ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367569903321Friction Stir Welding and Processing in Alloy Manufacturing4668187UNINA
