Offers an introduction to the thermodynamic behavior of materials systems. Written as a basic text for advanced undergraduates and first year graduate students in metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, ceramics, or materials science, this book presents the underlying thermodynamic principles of materials and their plethora of applications.

This classic textbook book helps readers understand the basic physics of transport phenomena and how to apply them to materials processing. The Third Edition offers a significant shift in the approach to this subject, representing an evolution incorporating the original ideas and extending them to a more comprehensive approach to the topic.

Providing a broad, multidisciplinary approach, this volume draws on the editor¿s 30 years of explosives casework experience, including his work on task forces set up to investigate major explosives incidents. Assembling the contributions of internationally recognized experts, this edition contains revised chapters and several additional topics, including a profile of casework management in the UK Forensic Explosives Laboratory, properties and analysis of improvised explosives, and an examination of the Bali bombings. It also discusses the collection, analysis, and presentation of evidence in vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cases, as evidenced in attacks on U.S. overseas targets.
