Neuzeitliche Produkte werden immer komplexer und hybrider, dadurch ist die Aufgabe des Konstrukteurs nicht mehr rein intuitiv zu loesen. Heute sind beim Konstruieren ausser technischem Spezialwissen vor allem Kenntnisse und Geschick im Umgang mit rechnergestutzten und wissenschaftlichen Methoden und Werkzeugen, und die Berucksichtigung wirtschaftlicher und oekologischer Gesichtspunkte, gefragt. Dies schlagt sich notwendigerweise in der Ausweitung der Konstruktionsausbildung an den technisch orie...

Industrial buildings are many times designed mainly to enclose the machines and production-line. More emphasis is given to make project look impressive rather than considering the climatic conditions, worker's requirement and comfort. The main force behind production, that is humans, are generally neglected . Attempt is made in this book to give general basic essential information required for designing a factory in tropical climate for a place where technology is not that advanced and...

This book is a personal anthology of the author's utmost academic works and accomplishments with his former students and colleagues intended as an enduring record for the engineering community for many years to come.The author's forty-year professional career and academic life journey is first briefly sketched in Chapter 1 and more details are elaborated in three chapters that follow: Chapter 2: The first ten years at Lehigh - beginning to show; Chapter 3: Twenty=three years at Purdue - the high...

Have an idea for a new product? You need a prototype! This fun and practical book is full of eye-opening ideas for fast, ultra-cheap, and creative prototyping to help you bring products to life. Learn how to shop for usable parts at home, toy, and department stores, how to use free CAD software, ordinary shop tools, simple mold-making material, and other equipment and materials to build working product prototypes right in your home. Say you have an idea for a better pair of scissors. Using the u...

The 25th Anniversary Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science was held as a joint conference with the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley from June 20-22, 1988. With the encouragement and support of the SES, we decided to organize a symposium in honor of A. C. Eringen: the founding president of the Society of Engineering Science who provided pioneering leadership during the critical first decade of the Society'...

The purpose of this book is to j.irEURO'~ 0l'l\' a new technique for the experimental investigation of the free wave model sound field of acoustics. The technique is based on the use of spherical harmonic functions of angle. Acousticians frequently encounter random sound fields whose properties may be closely modelled by use of the "free wave" field. This model field is defined by two basic statistical properties: stationarity in time, and homogeneity in space. Stationarity means that any single...

This work concerns the computational modelling of the dynamics of partially ionized gases, with emphasis on electrodischarge processes. Understanding gas discharges is fundamental for many processes in mechanics, manufacturing, materials science, and aerospace engineering. This second edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in the field, especially regarding the drift-diffusion model and rarefied hypersonic flow.

This book is a composition of diverse points of view regarding the application of Computational Intelligence techniques and methods into Remote Sensing data and problems. It is the general consensus that classi?cation, and related data processing, and global optimization methods are the main topics of Compu- tional Intelligence. Global random optimization algorithms appear in this book, such as the Simulated Annealing in chapter 6 and the Genetic Algorithms p- posedinchapters3and9. Muchofthecont...

This book provides a hybrid approach to fault detection and diagnostics. It presents a detailed analysis related to practical applications of the fault detection and diagnostics framework, and highlights recent findings on power plant nonlinear model identification and fault diagnostics. The effectiveness of the methods presented is tested using data acquired from actual cogeneration and cooling plants (CCPs). The models presented were developed by applying Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) methods. The book off...
