Abstract

This book is an introduction to the quantum theory of materials and first-principles computational materials modelling. It explains how to use density functional theory as a practical tool for calculating the properties of materials without using any empirical parameters. The structural, mechanical, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials are described within a single unified conceptual framework, rooted in the Schrodinger equation of quantum mechanics, and powered by density functional theory. This book is intended for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students in

Abstract

Materiology is directed at all those who are interested in materials and in working with materials: from architects, production designers, and stylists to artists: a handbook for students and new professionals as well as for experienced professionals, written in a clear, understandable style.In four chapters, Materiology offers an overview of the different kinds, processing, and use of materials: 1. Material families: from wood, metal, and plastics to light. 2. Material catalog: over 120 material cards, from basic materials to the latest innovations. 3. Processes: The basics of material processing (spray molds, extrusion, and so on) are presented in a clear manner using numerous diagrams. 4. Thinking ahead: from new processing and use possibilities to questions concerning environmental protection and virtual reality. A prospectus addresses the issues that will be relevant in the future for material development and material use. The second edition has a further 18 material cards and focuses on the challenges of sustainability in design and architecture. Materiology richtet sich an alle, die sich für Materialien interessieren und mit Materialien arbeiten: vom Architekten über den Produktdesigner und Stylisten bis hin zum Künstler: ein Handbuch für Studenten und Berufseinsteiger ebenso wie für erfahrene Profis, geschrieben in einem klar verständlichen Stil. Materiology bietet in vier Kapiteln einen Überblick über die Arten, die Verarbeitung und den Einsatz von Materialien: 1. Materialfamilien: von Holz über Metalle und Kunststoffe bis hin zum Licht.2. Materialkatalog: über 120 Materialkarten, von grundlegenden Stoffen bis hin zu brandneuen Innovationen. 3. Verfahren: Die Grundzüge der Materialbearbeitung und -verarbeitung (Spritzgießen, Extrusion etc.) werden anschaulich anhand von zahlreichen Diagrammen dargestellt. 4. Weiter gedacht: Von neuen Verarbeitungs- und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten bis hin zu Fragestellungen wie Umweltschutz und virtuelle Realität, werdenThemen diskutiert, die zukünftig für Materialentwicklung und Materialeinsatz relevant sein werden. Die zweite Auflage ist um 17 Materialkarten erweitert und stellt sich insbesondere der Herausforderung der Nachhaltigkeit in Design und Architektur.

Abstract

There currently exists an abundance of materials selection advice for designers, mostly suited to solving technical product requirements. In contrast, a stark gap can be found in current literature that articulates the very real personal, social, cultural and economic connections between materials and product design. In Materials Experience: Contemporary Issues Connecting Materials and Product Design, twenty four of the leading academicians and professional designers have come together for the first time to offer their expertise and insights on a number of topics common to ma

Abstract

"Aiming to elucidate the complexity of material flows of modern societies, their prerequisites and their consequences"-- "How much further should the affluent world push its material consumption? Does relative dematerialization lead to absolute decline in demand for materials? These and many other questions are discussed and answered in Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization.Over the course of time, the modern world has become dependent on unprecedented flows of materials. Now even the most efficient production processes and the highest practical rates of recycling may not be enough to result in dematerialization rates that would be high enough to negate the rising demand for materials generated by continuing population growth and rising standards of living. This book explores the costs of this dependence and the potential for substantial dematerialization of modern economies. Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization considers the principal materials used throughout history, from wood and stone, through to metals, alloys, plastics, and silicon, describing their extraction and production as well as their dominant applications. The evolving productivities of material extraction, processing, synthesis, finishing, and distribution, and the energy costs and environmental impact of rising material consumption are examined in detail. The book concludes with an outlook for the future, discussing the prospects for dematerialization and potential constraints on materials.This interdisciplinary text will provide useful perspectives for readers with backgrounds including resource economics, environmental studies, energy analysis, mineral geology, industrial organization, manufacturing, and material science"--
