Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers the fundamentals of classical physics, emphasizing energy transformations in systems through gas laws, work, heat, and the laws of thermodynamics.
Explores the use of COBRs for crystallization processes, comparing batch and continuous reactors, and discussing nucleation mechanisms and growth kinetics.
