Praise for the Series "This book will be a useful reference to control engineers and researchers. The papers contained cover well the recent advances in the field of modern control theory." --IEEE Group Correspondence "This book will help all those researchers who valiantly try to keep abreast of what is new in the theory and practice of optimal control." --Control

Ultrasound in Liquid and Solid Metals focuses on the effect of intensive ultrasound on metals, including the analysis of the development of cavitation and acoustic flows in melts, mechanism of metals' spraying and crystallization, the formation of dislocation structure in crystals, diffusion, phase transformation, and plastic deformation. Physical fundamentals of intensive ultrasound effects are covered, and detailed discussions are presented on the engineering principles of equipment and materi...

Unter der Bezeichnung Stromungsmaschinen werden Turbinen, Kreiselpumpen, Tur- boverdichter, Propeller und Stromungsgetriebe zusammengefaBt. Stromungsmaschi- nen begegnen uns als Haupt-und Hilfsmaschinen in Kraftwerken, als Antriebsmaschi- nen von Flugzeugen und Schiffen, als Hilfsmaschinen in vielen technischen Einrichtun- gen der lndustrie und des tiiglichen Lebens. Sie sind somit im Maschinenbau von grund- legender Bedeutung. Deshalb braucht jeder Maschinenbauer Grundkenntnisse tiber Wir- kung...

In the powder metallurgical process, diamond material composites are produced by pressing and sintering of a mixture, consisting of diamond and metal powder like cobalt. Due to the high hardness of diamond, the surface of press die is easily damaged. To increase the life time of press dies, thin layers, deposited by PVD, has been employed. First, the standard tests, such as scratch test and pin-on-disc, were performed in order to characterize the adhesion and the tribology of the coatings. The r...

Is this book about patterns? Yes and no. It is about software reuse and representation of knowledge that can be reapplied in similar situations; however, it does not follow the classic Alexandine conventions of the patterns community--i.e. Problem- solution- forces- context- example, etc. Chapter 6 on claims comes close to classic patterns, and the whole book can be viewed as a patterns language of abstract models for software engineering and HCI. So what sort of patterns does it contain?...

Dr. Lester A. Gerhardt Professor and Chairman Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, New York 12180 This book is a collection of papers on the subject of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Most of the papers contained herein were presented as part of the program of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in June 1983 at Castel vecchio Pascoli, Italy on the same subject. Attendance at this two week Institute was by invitation only, drawing people in...

In dieser Publikation wird ein Bedienungssystem fur Steuerungen vorgestellt, das der Steuerungsanwender, z.B. der Werkzeugmaschinenhersteller, auf seine Anforderungen zuschneiden kann. Durch das schichtorientierte Schnittstellenkonzept ist das Bedienungssystem unabhangig von der verwendeten Hardware und dem Steuerungskern. Eine Aufspaltung in die quasi parallel ablauffahigen Einzelfunktionen Bedienungsablaufsteuerung und Anzeigeversorgung ermoglicht eine effiziente, echtzeitfahige Bearbeitung vo...

This book is devoted to the chemistry of oil and petroleum products and covers the broad range of topics from heavy fuel oils, crude oils and (diluted) bitumen to today‘s research on asphaltenes. Recent methods are summarized and the large new groups of chemicals found in oils are identifi ed as well as described. The work points the way for a more complete understanding of the composition of petroleum. Highlights include: An update on oil fi ngerprinting New data using Fourier transf...

The book describes and explains the results of the collaborative project Generative Manufacturing of Optical, Thermal and Structural Components over the last three years. The overall goal is the development of a system concept based on generative manufacturing for integrated optical and optomechanical systems. Different developed generative manufacturing processes for glass and specially designed metal powders have been implemented in a single fabrication set up enabling multi-material manufactu...

This book presents select proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science (ICAMEMS 2022). It discusses about the diverse technological advancements, innovations, and achievements in the areas of mechanical engineering and material science. It also covers the developments and challenges in the field of machine design, manufacturing, thermal and fluid engineering. Important topics covered in the conference include advanced manufacturing pr...

Successful and cost-effective design of an ultrasonic sensor can be problematic. As technological requirements have advanced, sensor complexity has increased dramatically, making intuitive design very difficult. Consequently, new improved models, capable of predicting the device characteristics, are vital for designing complex ultrasonic sensors/systems and keeping pace with the increasingly stringent technological requirements of the future. This book explains how to use a signal processing app...

An overview of the CIM theory including a definition of its evolution over the years. It is intended to allow engineers and managers to implement the theory and to use it effectively. Divided into three sections.

Wer Maschinen, Fahrzeuge, elektrische Anlagen oder elektronische Bauelemente herstellen will, braucht Werkzeugmaschinen. Mit ihnen werden Bauteile durch spa- nende, umformende, abtragende, optochemische und elektrophysikalische V erfahren hergestellt, werden Einzelteile durch Fiigeverfahren zu Baugruppen und Aggregaten montiert und werden Bauteile und Baugruppen vermessen und geprtift. Die Werk- zeugmaschine - und im weiteren Sinne gehoren dazu auch Industrieroboter und MeBmaschinen- wird daher...
