Choice Outstanding Title, September 2020This book fills a gap in the middle ground between quantum mechanics of a single electron to the concept of a quantum field. In doing so, the book is divided into two parts; the first provides the necessary background to quantum theory extending from Planck’s formulation of black body radiation to Schrodinger’s equation; and the second part explores Dirac’s relativistic electron to quantum fields, finishing with an description of Feynman diagrams and their meaning. Much more than a popular account, yet not too heavy so as to be inaccessible, this book assumes no prior knowledge of quantum physics or field theory and provides the necessary foundations for readers to then progress to more advanced texts on quantum field theory. It will be of interest to undergraduate students in physics and mathematics, in addition to an interested, general audience.Features:Provides an extensive yet accessible background to the conceptsContains numerous, illustrative diagramsPresents in-depth explanations of difficult subjects

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline forged and shaped by the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research mono graphs intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and re search. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors on the advisory board, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consulting editors are listed on the facing page of this volume. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational me chanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, proc essing, production systems, thermal science, and tribology.

Introduction to Contact Mechanics, Second Edition is a gentle introduction to the mechanics of solid bodies in contact for graduate students, post doctoral individuals, and the beginning researcher.This second edition maintains the introductory character of the first with a focus on materials science as distinct from straight solid mechanics theory. Every chapter has been updated to make the book easier to read and more informative. A new chapter on depth sensing indentation has been added, and the contents of the other chapters have been completely overhauled with added figures, formulae and explanations.The author begins with an introduction to the mechanical properties of materials, general fracture mechanics and the fracture of brittle solids. This is followed by a detailed description of indentation stress fields for both elastic and elastic-plastic contact. The discussion then turns to the formation of Hertzian cone cracks in brittle materials, subsurface damage in ductile materials, and the meaning of hardness. The author concludes with an overview of practical methods of indentation.

Like the author‘s other companion books, The Chemistry Companion provides-high quality information in unique one-page-per-topic presentations that do not overburden and distract with excessive details. The book offers concise summaries of general chemistry concepts, easily accessible in a convenient, reader-friendly format.Suitable as an introduction or study guide, this companion presents the minimum of what readers need to know to understand the subject. It emphasizes the physics underlying chemistry. By looking at chemistry processes from a physics point of view, readers can better appreciate what is happening from the chemical perspective that is usually found in traditional chemistry books. The author focuses on the structure of matter, chemical components and bonds, the periodic table, states of matter, thermodynamics, reaction rates, carbon chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical, ionic, and electronic equilibria. Each topic is covered in a single-page outline format with just enough detail to enable a good understanding of the subject.

Get Your Copies of A.C. Fischer-Cripps’ Updated CompanionsThis highly successful series of books was originally launched in 2003 with the publication of the innovative Physics Companion. Each core topic in the physics curriculum was covered, deriving key concepts and equations in clear, one-page, figure-rich descriptions. Each subsection contained a summary of the main equations, together with a set of worked examples. This unique design quickly established The Physics Companion as an essential resource for undergraduate students throughout the course of their degree, acting both as study guide and revision aid.The Electronics Companion, The Mathematics Companion, The Materials Physics Companion, and The Chemistry Companion followed soon after, publishing in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2011 respectively. Taking the same signature approach as The Physics Companion, these books used clear writing and a visual presentation to make the material suitable for students in any country, including those with English as a second language.Fischer-Cripps has now extended the coverage of The Physics Companion, The Electronics Companion, The Mathematics Companion, and The Materials Physics Companion and updated them where necessary, building on the outstanding success of the first editions.Read more about each volume:The Physics Companion, 2nd EditionThe Electronics Companion: Devices and Circuits for Physicists and Engineers, 2nd EditionThe Mathematics Companion: Mathematical Methods for Physicists and Engineers, 2nd EditionThe Materials Physics Companion, 2nd EditionThe Chemistry Companion
