Synopsis

Knowledge of complex physical and engineering properties of materials has become crucial as more advanced applications and developments in science and industry rely on these properties. The use of powerful tensor formalism to investigate, predict and calculate the properties of materials is well understood, but it has been undermined by the sheer weight of computation involved and by lack of information on the symmetry of tensors. This situation is resolved with the publication of The Encyclopedia of Material Tensors on CD, the most comprehensive database on the symmetry properties of material tensors available today. The Encyclopedia of Material Tensors on CD: * information which supersedes all conventional printed sources and software programs on material tensor properties * allows access to information on symmetry properties of over 130,000 material tensors, for tensors of ranks from two to seven * covers a virtually unlimited choice of physical effects and engineering problems The Encyclopedia of Material Tensors on CD crates exciting new opportunities for research in material science, crystallography, optics, nonlinear optics, the study of elasticity, electric and magnetic phenomena, mining, civil engineering and many other fields.

About this title

Synopsis:

Tensors are mathematical representations of complex physical properties which are used by researchers across a wide range of fields in physics, materials science, and applied mathematics. This CD-ROM contains 130,000 tensors, of different internal symmetry, up to the most complex - rank 7.
