Strained metallic surfaces: theory, nanostructuring and fatigue strength

Beginning with explanations of the intricacies of surfaces and their differences to bulk, Strained Metallic Surfaces: Theory, Mechanical Behavior and Nanostructuring of Metals and Alloys takes the reader through the vital steps towards macroscopic metallic components as well as structuring on the nanoscale. Itmakes use of theory, experimental techniques, examples, and modelling to convey firm understanding to the reader. Providing students, engineers and researchers with a must-have insight into the complexities of surface structure and behavior, this book extends beyond the usual introductory texts to present concise knowledge on the topic, connecting fundamentals with real applications.
