Book Description
Concevoir de nouveaux matériaux de structure, allonger la durée de vie des pièces, éviter les ruptures en service font partie des préoccupations majeures des ingénieurs. Une bonne maîtrise du comportement mécanique des matériaux est essentielle pour aboutir à ce résultat. Cet ouvrage aborde ce sujet dans les domaines de la viscoplasticité, de l'endommagement, de la résistance à la fissuration et de la mécanique du contact. Faisant suite à un précédent volume sur le comportement mécanique des matériaux, consacré à l'élasticité et à l'élastoplasticité, il conserve la même démarche qui consiste, en partant des mécanismes actifs à l'échelle microscopique, à remonter aux lois macroscopiques. Le premier chapitre concerne les comportements viscoplastiques qui se manifestent, par exemple, à basse température, par une influence de la vitesse de sollicitation, ou, à haute température, par le fluage sous charge constante. Le deuxième chapitre traite des très nombreux phénomènes d'endommagement que l'on rencontre dans tous les matériaux (métalliques, polymères, verres, bétons ...), comme la cavitation, la fatigue, la corrosion sous contrainte. Le troisième chapitre donne les notions de mécanique de la rupture nécessaires pour comprendre la résistance de la fissuration. Le quatrième chapitre apporte les notions principales de mécanique du contact. Chaque chapitre est suivi d'exercices, énoncés de telle sorte que le lecteur est guidé pas à pas pour trouver la solution. De très nombreuses illustrations facilitent la lecture. Comportement mécanique des matériaux est le fruit du DEA "Mécanique et Matériaux" de la région parisienne. Il s'adresse aussi aux élèves-ingénieurs, ingénieurs et chercheurs. Les développements mathématiques y sont d'un accès facile. Les réelles difficultés, dont la maîtrise n'est pas exempte d'aspects passionnants, résident dans les fréquents changements d'échelle et dans le sens physique auquel il est fait appel.

Book Description
In a brilliant history of a turbulent time and place, Mills pulls back the curtain on the decade s activists and intellectuals, showing their engagement both with each other and with people from around the world. He demonstrates how activists of different backgrounds and with different political aims drew on ideas of decolonization to rethink the meanings attached to the politics of sex, race, and class and to imagine themselves as part of a broad transnational movement of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist resistance. The temporary unity forged around ideas of decolonization came undone in the 1970s, however, as many were forced to come to terms with the contradictions and ambiguities of applying ideas of decolonization in Quebec. From linguistic debates to labour unions, and from the political activities of citizens in the city s poorest neighbourhoods to its Caribbean intellectuals, The Empire Within is a political tour of Montreal that reconsiders the meaning and legacy of the city s dissident traditions. It is also a fascinating chapter in the history of postcolonial thought.

Book Description
A cross-national study of social trends in the United States, Germany, France, and Quebec, Convergence or Divergence? is a revealing exploration of the patterns of social evolution in modernized societies. The analyses in this volume are based on the four national profiles already published in the Comparative Charting of Social Change series.

Book Description
Using France as the most representative case of a Catholic context, Bélanger argues that as French society became more secularized intellectuals replaced the clergy as arbitrators of justice and enlightenment. Catholic morality was consolidated by the scholastic tradition and confirmed by the Counter-Reformation, providing the foundation that allowed the establishment of a lay elite. Bélanger describes the progressive takeover of positions of influence by the new elite in Catholic society and examines arguments used by thinkers from the seventeenth to the twentieth century to legitimize their positions. In contrast, the Anglo-Saxon Protestant tradition, due to its emphasis on the priesthood of all believers, led to recognition of the individual's conscience as the sole judge of her or his deeds and failed to provide intellectuals with the basis for any claim to serve as moral leaders in political affairs. Straddling a variety of disciplines, this study will be interest to students of political science, sociology, philosophy, and history.

Book Description
When social democratic politicians in the 1990s moderated their ideas and policies as part of a turn towards the "third way," they were assailed as traitors to the cause. Remaining Loyal demonstrates that while third way social democrats in Quebec and Saskatchewan supplemented certain social democratic ideas with more right-wing economic programs, their public policies remained true to the original spirit of social democracy. Drawing on a range of archival resources, David McGrane traces the evolution of social democracy in Quebec and Saskatchewan from their respective origins in social Catholic thought and agrarian protest movements at the turn of the twentieth century to the most recent Parti Québécois and New Democratic Party governments. In doing so, he reconstructs the public policies of traditional social democracy from the postwar era and the third way in the 1990s and early 2000s and finds both differences and continuities. McGrane contends that remaining loyal to core social democratic values is exactly what differentiates the third way from neo-liberalism in Saskatchewan and Quebec. The first historical comparison of social democracy in Saskatchewan and Quebec, Remaining Loyal challenges how we think about the recent ideological evolution of left-wing parties in Canada and the rest of the world.
