Concerns about better fuel economy and environmental emission reduction have promoted efforts to increase applications of lightweight materials in current engineering applications. In recent years, magnesium alloys and its composites have found major applications in the field of automobile, aerospace, electronics and defence industries due to their low density and high specific strength, which can lead to reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse emission. Particularly in automobile industry, magnesium based metal matrix composites (MMCs) are attractive materials for construction of piston, brakes rotors, cylinder bores, cylinder liners, car door frames and steering wheel due to their specific modulus, stiffness, good damping capacities and dent resistance. In spite of these attractive range of properties, relatively poor creep resistance at high temperature, low modulus, low wear resistance and limited room temperature ductility are the serious impediments against their wider applications. Therefore, magnesium hybrid composites, the new generation of advanced engineering materials have been fabricated to provide the solutions to these limitations and fulfilling the demand of industries i.e. materials that are stronger, lighter and cheaper. There has been a limited number of books on characterization and fabrication of magnesiumbased composites with special emphasis on metal casting technique and its latest modification such as stir casting, squeeze casting, ultrasonic casting. While the ASM Handbook offers an exhaustive compilation of magnesium alloy properties, there has been a notable absence of efforts to consolidate and summarize the characteristics of emerging magnesium-based materials, particularly AZ91D magnesium alloy based composites fabricated through stir casting.Hence, the primary objective of this book is to furnish readers with a profound understanding of the science, attributes, and applications of contemporary and prospective magnesium hybrid composites, insight in self-lubricating AZ91D based composite fabricated using stir casting. Special emphasis is placed on historical background, fabrication of self-lubricating magnesium hybrid composites by adding SiC and WS2 particles and delineating their impacts on the resultant composite properties.The targeted audience for this book is engineers, scientists, technicians, students, and research scholar engaged in lightweight materials design, development, selection, manufacturing, and engineering disciplines.

Man and Superman (Classic Edition) Hardcover by Bernard Shaw
Man and Superman, a four-act drama, was written in 1903 as a response to those who had questioned Shaw as to why he had never written a play based on the don Juan br>Theme it deserves the position of Bernard Shaw’s masterpiece. The plot revolves around a young man, John Tanner, who possesses advanced ideas and finds himself surrounded by a set of ordinary beings who are abject slaves to Convention. The main idea consists of an endeavour to show how utterly futile are modern ideas and Advanced thought when brought into practice amid the social conditions of our present civilized state. Throughout the play, the readers admire the high principles upon which Tanner is br> Endeavouring to shape his ends, but they are pleased when they see this strong-minded and exceptionally advanced young man come a cropper before the simple, hypocritical devices of an inexperienced, feather-brained young girl, Ann. She is referred to as the life force and represents Shaw’s view that in every culture, it is the women who force the men to marry them rather than the men who take the initiative.

English ClassicsThe Old Man and The Sea (An Original Classic Edition) by Ernest Hemingway, Hardcover
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478602
- Hardcover : 270 pages
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2 cm
The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast. The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.
