Titanic Corrosion

Titanic Corrosion

The word “titanic” reminds one of the majestic ship Titanic and James Cameron’s epic romance movie Titanic—in many cases the film first and the ship next. The Titanic was the world’s largest passenger ship when it entered service measuring 269 m (882 feet) in length and the largest man-made moving object on earth. The colossal ship and the epic movie inspired the authors Susai Rajendran (professor of chemistry) and Gurmeet Singh (a renowned academic administrator and an internationally reputed expert in the field of corrosion science and smart materials) to study why the Titanic collapsed. The main reason seems to be bimetallic corrosion also known as galvanic corrosion. This book discusses various aspects of galvanic corrosion namely causes consequences methods of control and case studies. It also reports research on the causes of corrosion of the sunken ship including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and metallurgical failure. The book is a great reference for research scholars in the field of corrosion graduate- and postgraduate-level students the general public and marine engineers. | Titanic Corrosion

The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

The Shroud of Turin is the most important and studied relic in the world. The many scientific studies on the relic until today have failed to provide conclusive answers about the identity of the enveloped man and the dynamics regarding the image impressed therein. This book not only addresses these issues in a scientific and objective manner but also leads the reader through new search paths. In the second edition besides including some of the most recent findings on the Shroud the authors follow the many tips and comments received from readers. The Shroud’s dating by means of alternative methods has not been free from controversies some of which have even implied the non-authenticity of the Shroud’s samples tested. So the authors duly expand Chapter 7 to include the proof of the origin of the samples used in the recent scientific research and also address the provenance and the path of the original sample. Furthermore a new section contains a personal interview with the authors that is the result of the interesting and praiseworthy work of a Bavarian high school student. Although there are many books on the subject none contains such a formidable quantity of scientific news and reports. Unique in its genre this book is a powerful tool for those who want to study the Turin Shroud deeply. | The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ
