The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) decided in 1992 to sponsor the fourth Symposium on Laminar-Turbulent Transition, Sendai/Japan, 1994. The objectives of the present Symposium were to deepen the fundamental knowledge of stability and laminar- turbulent transition in three-dimensional and compressible flows and to contribute to recent developing technologies in the field. This Symposium followed the three previous IUTAM-Symposia (Stuttgart 1979, Novosibirsk 1984...

Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.

Virtually Real A wave of new technology has rekindled the dream of virtual reality. But what can you really do with it? We take a look at how Makers are embracing VR to build digital worlds and real-life interfaces with them, and show you how too. Meet the engineers at NASA that are making rovers and rockets in mixed-reality. Discover some of the gear you'll need to get started with VR. Visit the Makers at Valve who brought the HTC Vive headset to life and see how it went from prototype to produ...

Printed collection on 80 full-length, peer-reviewed technical papers. Topics include: Microturbines, Turbochargers & Small Turbomachines, Steam Turbines.

This unique collection is the post-conference proceedings of the 4th "International Conference on Field and Service Robotics" (FSR). This book has authoritative contributors and presents current developments and new directions in field and service robotics. The book represents a cross-section of the current state of robotics research from one particular aspect: field and service applications, and how they reflect on the theoretical basis of subsequent developments.

Formeln machen das Rechnen in der Technischen Mechanik nicht nur einfacher, sondern uberhaupt erst moeglich. Aber wann verwendet man am besten welche Formel? Wie rechnet man am geschicktesten damit? Und wofur stehen doch gleich die einzelnen Zeichen? Auf alle diese Fragen gibt Ihnen Wilhelm Kulisch die Antwort. So finden Sie immer die wichtigsten Formeln und die zugehoerigen Definitionen, egal ob Sie sich mit Statik, Dynamik oder Kontinuumsmechanik beschaftigen. Mit vielen Beispielen und ausfuhr...

Examine today's mechanisms, machines, and the motion they produce with Stanisic's MECHANISMS AND MACHINES: KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, AND SYNTHESIS, 2nd Edition. The author introduces the synthesis and analysis of planar mechanisms and machines using the Vector Loop Method, which is well suited to computer programming. The book teaches synthesis first, before delving into analysis, to ensure you understand the mathematics behind mechanism design. The author also uses a systematic procedure to summari...

Building on the previous volume "Vibrations of Rotating Machinery - Volume 1. Basic Rotordynamics: Introduction to Practical Vibration Analysis," this book is intended for all practical designers and maintenance experts who are responsible for the reliable manufacturing and operation of rotating machinery. It opens with the dynamics of oil film bearings and their influences on unbalance, vibration resonance and the stability of rotor whirl motion. Subsequently, the book introduces readers to vi...

Written by the most prominent experts and pioneers in the field, this ready reference combines fundamental research, recent breakthroughs and real-life applications in one well-organized treatise. As such, both newcomers and established researchers will find here a wide range of current methods for producing and characterizing carbon nanotubes using imaging as well as spectroscopic techniques. One major part of this thorough overview is devoted to the controlled chemical functionalization of ca...

The European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Science (ECCOMAS) has been created with the aim of providing a co-ordination of international scientific conferences and other activities in the field of computational methods in applied sciences. The main objective of the joint conferences on computational fluid dynamics and numerical methods in engineering is to provide a common forum for the presentation and discussion of scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Equal emp...

A new approach to designing shell structures against buckling, without the extensive and complicated mathematical detail usually associated with this intricate engineering problem. Presents the results of shell buckling theory through diagrams, tables, and simple formulae--directly useful in practical design. Cites problems of the application of theoretically derived critical loads to shells made of steel, concrete, and other materials, and discusses safety factor choices.

The main aim of this Special Topics Volume is to present state of the research on the topics of characterization the modern structural materials for mechanical engineering and other areas of manufacture, latest technologies and manufacturing systems for materials processing.

This book contains articles which were introduced at the 7th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Engineering Materials (ICAMEM 2018, May 17-18, 2018, Bangkok, Thailand) and presents to readers the results of the innovative research in the area of the modern materials science and technologies of materials processing. We hope that this collection will be useful and interesting for many researchers and engineers.

This volume contains the written texts of the papers presented at a Symposium on Buckling of Structures held at Harvard University in June 1974. This symposium, one of several on various topics sponsored annually by the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Me- chanics (IUTAM), was organized by a Scientific Committee consisting of B. Budiansky (Chairman), A. H. Chilver, W. T. Koiter, and A. S. Vol'- mir. Participation was by invitation of the Scientific Committee, and specific lecturers...
