Badania prowadzone w minionym stuleciu w olbrzymim zakresie poszerzyły nasze rozumienie świata, doprowadziły do powstania silnych więzów między fizyką a praktycznie wszystkimi pozostałymi gałęziami wiedzy oraz zainicjowały postęp techniczny wzbogacający nasze życie. Podobnie jak przed stu laty trudno przewidzieć, co przyniesie wiek XXI i w jakim stopniu badania naukowe pogłębią wiedzę i przyczynią się do poprawy jakości życia. [...] Uważamy, że o wielu z nich będzie gł

W książce przedstawiono podstawowe i zaawansowane metody nieliniowej analizy modalnej, wykazując, że klasyczne, utarte pojęcia liniowej analizy modalnej nie mogą być wprost zastosowane do układów nieliniowych.Linie modalne układu nieliniowego, w ogólności, nie są liniami prostymi, natomiast liczba postaci drgań może przekroczyć liczbę jego stopni swobody.

Ogólna tendencja do nadużywania ultrafioletu oraz niekontrolowana ingerencja w prawa natury doczekały się odpowiedzi ze strony świata naukowego. Publikacja przedstawia aktualny stan wiedzy na temat promieniowania UV i skutków jego działania. Autorki lokują promieniowanie ultrafioletowe w szerszym kontekście, jako jeden ze składowych elementów fal elektromagnetycznych. W części pierwszej przekazują niezbędną dawkę fizyki na ten temat. Przystępny i ciekawy sposób prezentacji pow

Synteza spaleniowa materiałów nanostrukturalnych to pierwsza polska monografia w tej dziedzinie, stąd jej - w dużej mierze - charakter podstawowy, miejscami zaś niemal popularnonaukowy. Przedstawia reakcje syntezy spaleniowej i ich produkty, charakteryzowane na poziomie rozpoznawczym, ale prezentuje również procesy wykorzystywane od dziesięcioleci, jak reakcja aluminotermiczna czy otrzymywanie węglika krzemu metodą Achesona. Dlatego grono potencjalnych czytelników tej książki jest s
