  • Introduction To Adiabatic Shear Localization (Revised Edition)

    by Bradley Dodd, Yilong Bai ...
    Adiabatic shear bands are found in a variety of metals and other materials; they cause rapid weakening due to energy concentration into narrow regions of the material. This is the very first book on this important topic and the only true introduction to the subject. An enhanced and updated student-friendly edition of the authors' 1992 book Adiabatic Shear Localization: Occurrence, Theories and ... Read more

  • Adiabatic Shear Localization

    Frontiers and Advances

    Edited by Bradley Dodd, Yilong Bai ...
    Adiabatic shear localization is a mode of failure that occurs in dynamic loading. It is characterized by thermal softening occurring over a very narrow region of a material and is usually a precursor to ductile fracture and catastrophic failure. This reference source is the revised and updated version of the first detailed study of the mechanics and modes of adiabatic shear localization in solids. ... Read more

  • Polymer Extrusion

    Edited by Pierre G. Lafleur, Bruno Vergnes ...
    Extrusion is by far the most important and the oldest processing and shaping method for thermoplastic polymers. This process concerns almost all synthetic polymers, as well as elastomers or food materials. Single-screw extrusion is mainly used nowadays to manufacture finished goods or semi-finished products. More than 90 million tons of thermoplastics are therefore processed every year.Twin-screw ... Read more
