    • Inglés
    Ships in Waves: Motions and Operational Impacts delivers a structured and in-depth exploration of the core theories and phenomena governing vessel interactions with wave environments. Progressing from fundamental concepts to elaborate formulations, the book supports gradual engagement with complex material, facilitating confident physical understanding. Topics include ship oscillations (both in calm water and under wave excitation), stochastic wave modeling, responses in regular and irregular seas, and the consequences of extreme motions—such as dynamic loads, rolling, slamming, and capsizing.Organized modularly, the contents allow selective study and targeted review based on the reader’s interest or specialization, uniquely bridging the divide between intricate technical knowledge and engineering application. In addition to the essential theoretical framework, cutting-edge advances and rarely covered aspects are also addressed, including wave energy converters and a critical review of the new IMO intact stability criteria.Designed to serve audiences in academic and research contexts, this authoritative volume is especially valuable not only for assessing motion characteristics but also for enhancing system reliability and informing future design strategies for vessels, offshore platforms, floating structures, and other marine installations that demand a nuanced balance of performance, safety, and sustainability.

    Superalloys: Strengthening Behavior of Precipitating Phases covers the strengthening mechanisms associated with all types of precipitates that form in superalloys, synthesizing a vast body of literature on the strengthening behavior of these phases, with each chapter introducing fundamental metallurgical principles to help readers develop a clear understanding. It provides an in-depth exploration of the deformation mechanisms of intermetallic phases in superalloys, focusing on the interaction between matrix dislocations and these phases. The book is structured into seven chapters, each focusing on different aspects of superalloys, the strengthening precipitates, and their mechanisms. Chapter 1 provides an overview of superalloys, their classifications, compositions, and the various strengthening phases, also covering the reasons behind the varying strengthening behavior of different precipitates. Chapter 2 lays the foundation for understanding deformation and strengthening mechanisms in metals and alloys, while chapters 3, 4, and 5 each focus on the strengthening behavior and mechanisms of specific precipitates, γ′, γ″, and Ni2(Cr,Mo), respectively. Chapter 6 discusses the strengthening effects of the δ and η phases, which form at intermediate temperatures and play a crucial role in controlling grain size, enhancing creep and fatigue resistance. Chapter 7 examines the role of other strengthening agents, including oxides, borides, and carbides, which improve the high-temperature strength by impeding dislocation motion and grain boundary sliding.
