Inhaltsangabe

Essentially, Orientations and Rotations treats the mathematical and computational foundations of texture analysis. It contains an extensive and thorough introduction to parameterizations and geometry of the rotation space. Since the notions of orientations and rotations are of primary importance for science and engineering, the book can be useful for a very broad audience using rotations in other fields.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Adam Morawiec is currently employed as a professor at the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, part of the Polish Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on anisotropic structures, crystallographic textures of polycrystalline materials, formal description of properties of such materials and on computational issues related to the investigation of textures and microstructures. He is the author of the 2004 Springer book, "Orientations and Rotations: Computations in Crystallographic Textures", and has close to 120 publications on the topics of ab initio indexing, indexing for orientation determination, other aspects of orientation determination and orientation mapping, and diffraction-based determination of local lattice strains.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The book is about mathematical and computational foundations of texture analysis. Numerical techniques are indispensable in texture analysis, so the book is primarily addressed to researchers and students using these techniques in practice.

Orientations and Rotations is very different from other books on textures in its content and focal point. Major part of the book is devoted to orientations and rotations in general. Opening chapters contain an extensive and thorough introduction to rotations in three dimensions (including parameterizations and geometry of the rotation space). Further chapters are also general but they will be of interest for readers dealing with orientations of symmetric objects. This subject is essential for crystallographic textures since most crystal structures are symmetric. The final chapters concern more practical aspects of textures (such as the determination of orientations from diffraction patterns and the calculation of effective elastic properties of polycrystals).

The book will be of interest for scientists working on plasticity, grain boundaries, recrystallisation, grain growth, and numerous other issues in which textures must be taken into account. Because of the extensive parts on rotations in general, the book can be valuable for everyone dealing with rotations
