Cavitation (Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1992-11)
Much research work has been done on the subject of cavitation in recent years. The third international conference on cavitation, organized by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and held in Cambridge in December 1992, brought together experts from a wide range of industries and universities to report on current developments in cavitation. The great variety of topics discussed included fluid machinery, cavity dynamics, cavitation scaling and cavitation erosion. Some of the papers presented we...
Computational Flow Modeling for Chemical Reactor Engineering (Process Systems Engineering, #5)
by Vivek V. Ranade and Karen Beamish
This book describes how modeling fluid flow in chemical reactors may offer solutions that improve design, operation, and performance of reactors. Chemical reactors are any vessels, tubes, pipes, or tanks in which chemical reactions take place. Computational Flow Modeling for Chemical Reactor Engineering will show the reactor engineer how to define the specific roles of computational flow modeling, select appropriate tools, and apply these tools to link reactor hardware to reactor performance. Ov...

Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics plus Study Packs, SI Edition
by Russell C. Hibbeler
For one/two term introductory courses in vibrations taught to Mechanical, Aerospace, Engineering Mechanics, and Civil Engineering undergraduates.Vibrations for Engineers, Second Edition is a comprehensive text for a first course in vibration engineering. The book emphasizes design and extends the discussion of design beyond handbook solutions for component sizing to include the assumptions underlying the handbook solutions. Symbolic processing is introduced for those readers who want to extend t...
Focusing on the conceptual understanding of mechanics, this exciting new text addresses new developments in the methods of analyzing mechanics problems. It fully incorporates the highly sophisticated computational software packages currently available to students. Emphasizing the use of vector mechanics and vector mathematics in its treatment of statics, the book provides transition material to higher level courses, and provides a wealth of problems to foster understanding. All sample problems a...
Introduction to Arnold’s Proof of the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser Theorem
by Achim Feldmeier
INTRODUCTION TO ARNOLD’S PROOF OF THE KOLMOGOROV–ARNOLD–MOSER THEOREM This book provides an accessible step-by-step account of Arnold’s classical proof of the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (KAM) Theorem. It begins with a general background of the theorem, proves the famous Liouville–Arnold theorem for integrable systems and introduces Kneser’s tori in four-dimensional phase space. It then introduces and discusses the ideas and techniques used in Arnold’s proof, before the second half of the boo...

Modal Testing - Theory, Practice & Application 2e (Engineering Dynamics S.) (Mechanical engineering research studies, #2)
by D. J. Ewins
A survey of the technology of modal testing, a new method for describing the vibration properties of a structure by constructing mathematical models based on test data rather than using conventional theoretical analysis. Shows how to build a detailed mathematical model of a test structure and analyze and modify the structure to improve its dynamics. Covers techniques for measuring the mode, shapes, and frequencies of practical structures from turbine blades to suspension bridges.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Shells and Plates
The 15 papers reflect a reviving interest in the nonlinear dynamics of shells and panels, and to some degree of plate dynamics, funding for which dried up in the 1970s leaving some major questions still unresolved. The studies here take advantage of new numerical tools that make some things possible
Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics (Oxford Engineering Science, #44)
by Christopher E. Brennen
The book describes and explains the fundamental physical processes involved in bubbly dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation.The study of cavitation and bubbly flow applies to many areas of interest;from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment,ship propellors and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines and pumps of all sizes,to physiological phenomena such as the cracking of joints and the "bends"
