Science and Engineering of Casting Solidification, Second Edition

Download or read book Science and Engineering of Casting Solidification, Second Edition written by Doru Michael Stefanescu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stefanescu here attempts to describe solidification theory through the complex mathematical apparatus required for a fundamental treatment of the problem. The mathematics is however restricted to the elements essential to attain a working knowledge in the field. This is in line with the main goal of the book, which is to educate the reader in the fast moving area of computational modeling of solidification of castings. A special effort has been made to introduce the reader to the latest developments in solidification theory including, in this second edition, a new chapter on semi-solid casting.
