Beschreibung:
Professor Matthew R. Begley is recognized for seminal contributions in the mechanics of multilayered systems, with an emphasis on computational aspects of the required analysis. His codes are employed in some industries to design experiments, assess current designs and evaluate novel multilayer systems for improved performance. He is widely sought after for consulting work on the mechanics of thin films, coatings and multilayers, by companies such as General Electric, Pratt and Whitney, Intel, Sunpower, Raytheon and Areva.
A comprehensive treatment of the mechanics of multilayers and its implications for reliability, with easy-to-use software to compute key results.
