Issued without a dust jacket. -- Practical challenges of high?temperature materials - this volume equips researchers, engineers, and advanced students with the thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural fundamentals needed to design and optimize ceramic technologies today. -- Beginning with the foundations of ceramic science and its industrial and economic role, the book analyzes thermodynamic principles underlying high?temperature reactions and energy changes, including entropy considerations tied to industrial activity. Detailed attention is given to phase systems, diagram interpretation, and aluminosilicate compositions as levers for improving material properties and solving recurrent technical problems. Kinetic aspects are examined through mechanisms of solid-gas reactions, crystallization, oxide mineral synthesis, and interface transformations between glassy and solid phases. The text then addresses the dynamic formation of ceramic microstructures, highlighting pore evolution, surface layer growth, and the operational behavior of refractory elements. Structural perspectives are developed in a comprehensive discussion of sintering - from spontaneous reactions and mass transfer to grain growth and liquid?phase participation, supported by models such as Coble-Kuczynski. The closing section surveys examples of innovative design solutions in ceramic technology, capturing both broadly adopted advances and regionally specific practices. -- What distinguishes this work is its systematic integration of theory and application: readers are guided from thermodynamic analysis through kinetic modeling to real?world sintering and design strategies. This makes the book adaptable for both academic environments and industrial R&D contexts. Its emphasis on aluminosilicate phases, entropy analysis, and high?temperature transformations provides enduring reference points for refractory engineering, materials optimization, and sustainable innovation in ceramic processing. Researchers gain methodological tools for accurate prediction and control of processes, practitioners can calibrate techniques against theoretical baselines, and students acquire a durable conceptual apparatus. The text aligns closely with ongoing challenges in energy efficiency, advanced ceramics for electronics, and next?generation structural materials.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- Understanding and improving how human joints function - through precise imaging, advanced modelling, and tribological evaluation - this book equips biomedical researchers and clinicians with analytical and design tools for both natural and artificial joints. -- Beginning with a clear introduction to the principles of biotribology, the text moves systematically through the techniques used to identify and visualise joint structures, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and coordinate measurement systems. It then surveys methods to build both surface and solid models of major joints such as the knee, talocrural (ankle), and temporomandibular (jaw) joints, alongside evaluations of how faithfully biomaterials can replicate anatomical shapes. The analysis extends to microstructural levels, with scanning electron and atomic force microscopy employed to explore the architecture of articular cartilage. Fluid dynamics also receive careful attention, as the rheological properties of synovial fluid are characterized by rotational and oscillatory testing. Building from these empirical foundations, finite element modelling and numerical simulations provide insight into load distribution, stresses, and displacements across joint surfaces. The book further examines the performance of artificial joints from a tribological perspective, emphasising wear, lubrication, and friction, and culminates in a broader reflection on tribological processes as they occur in natural bearing systems. -- What makes this work distinctive is its tight integration of imaging-to-simulation workflows into a single volume devoted specifically to joint mechanics. The techniques discussed - finite element simulations, microscopy-based surface analysis, fluid rheometry - remain central to contemporary orthopaedic research and implant design. By linking material properties, biological function, and engineering perspectives across three anatomically distinct joints, it provides transferable insights valuable for biomedical engineers, orthopaedic practitioners, and graduate students seeking baselines for comparative study. It is both a methodological reference and a specialised resource for anyone working at the interface of biomechanics, materials science, and clinical application.
