    Editorial Reviews

    This book owes its being to ten years of generously sponsored research, support which the authors gratefully acknowledge. … The authors have penetrated deep into previously uncharted waters and claim a first for applying thermodynamic/mathematical modelling
    to the complex issue of inducing phase developments which lead to enhanced mechanical properties. It is to be hoped that these new findings will become more widely known and soon put to profitable practical use.
    —Peter C. Gasson CEng, MIMechE, FRAeS, in The Aeronautical Journal, November 2009
