Traveling along the path of the previous editions, "Transportation Engineering Planning and Design," follows the United States transportation system from its development, to its operations and control of the vehicle used to its planning (planning process, data collection, finances, procedures for future developments and evaluation of transportation plans) and on to the design of land, air and water transportation facilities (which includes highways, railways, runways, pipelines, terminals, harbors, ports, lighting for these areas, sizing and more.)

Contains the papers presented at the third international meeting on the 'numerical analysis of weldability' organised by the International Institute of Welding and the Department of Materials Science and Welding at Graz University of Technology. The evolution in weld microstructure has been modelled using cellular automata, which enable non-trivial processes and patterns to be computed starting with simple deterministic rules. One paper describes a model which incorporates the effect of deformation on precipitation kinetics in the HAZ during welding of cold-worked aluminium. For the first time there is a detailed article on the precipitation of oxides from the liquid weld pool.

A multivariate study of approximately 1,500 ground stone tools (celts) from the Coast Salishan cultural area of British Columbia, Canada, forms the basis of this book. The traditional and often unthinking quest to find types within this largely unclassified class of material formed the starting point to the author's work. When statistical methods failed to discriminate betweenn typological groups, Mackie was forced to think more creatively about the behavioural environment of their use., especially how use-life would alter shape. This book is therefore both a study of stone tools and an exploration into archaeological systematics which problematises the manic classificatory zeal which is such a peculiar feature of most archaeologists.

Dieses Buch ist der erste Teil einer auf zwei Bande angelegten Monographie, die in der Absicht entstand, den Fachleuten, die in der Forschung oder Industrie auf den Gebie- ten der Werkstoffoberflachen und der diinnen Schichten tatig sind, sowie den Studie- renden eine EinfUhrung in die Grundlagen und eine Ubersicht iiber die vieifaltigen Anwendungen und Verfahren der Oberflachen- und Diinnschichttechnologie zu ge- ben. Diese Arbeit beruht auf einer langjahrigen Tatigkeit des Verfassers auf dies em Gebiet sowohl in der Industrie als auch an der Hochschule. In ihrem praktischen Einsatz haben technische Oberflachen und diinne Schichten eine Vielzahl von Funktionen zu erftillen. Um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen: in der Optik als reflexionsmindemde, reflexionserhohende oder absorbierende Schichten; in der Elektrotechnik als Kontakte, Widerstande und Kondensatoren; in der Mikroelek- tronik als Metallisierungs-und Passivierungsschichten fUr hochintegrierte Schaltkreise und Halbleiter-Bauelemente; femer beim Aufbau von Systemen der integrierten Op- tik, der Optoelektronik, der Kryoelektronik, der Energietechnik und der biomedizini- schen Technik. In der chemischen Verfahrenstechnik und im Maschinenbau werden funktionelle diinne Schichten als Schutz gegen VerschleiB, Korrosion und Hochtem- peraturoxidation, aber auch als reibungsarme Schichten, Katalysatorschichten und de- korative Schichten verwendet. Die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Oberflachen-und Diinnschicht-Technologie ist in den Industrielandem in den letzten J ahren aus folgenden Grunden erheblich ge- stiegen: - Viele Hochtechnologie-Anwendungen, an denen mikroelektronische, optische, op- toelektronische, magnetische oder kryoelektronische Bauelemente beteiligt sind, wur- den durch die vielfach einzigartigen physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften diinner Schichten iiberhaupt erst moglich.

Das vorliegende Buch erscheint als Ersatz fur die beiden Werke des Verlages uber Kolbenverdichter von F. Froehlich sowie von Ch. Bouche und K. Wintterlin, die als Ziel hatten, das erforderliche Wissen fur die Auslegung, die Konstruktion und Be- trieb dieser Maschinen zu vermitteln. Dabei galt der, Froehlich' als internationales Standardwerk und der, Bouche' als leicht fassliche Einfuhrung fur Studenten. Bei- de aber zeigen schon das vielseitige Wissen aus der Thermodynamik, der Mecha- nik, der Festigkeitslehre, der Maschinenelemente, der Regelungs- und der Ferti- gungstechnik, welche die Beherrschung der Kompressoren erfordert. Seit dem Erscheinen dieser Werke wurden die oben erwahnten Wissenschaften starker strukturiert, neuere Betrachtungsweisen eingefuhrt, die Rechenverfahren verfeinert und die Herstellungsmethoden vervollkommnet. Dies ermoeglichte der Siegeszug der Computer, die immer groessere Datenmengen verarbeiten und daher immer kompliziertere Arbeitsmethoden zulassen. So entstanden umfangreiche Programme fur die finiten Elemente in der Mechanik, fur CAD und CAM fur die Konstruktion und die Fertigung sowie spezielle Firmenprogramme fur die Ausle- gung. Damit erfolgte die Auswertung immer schneller und exakter, aber auch das Er- kennen innerer Zusammenhange und die Beurteilung der Brauqhbarkeit der Ergeb- nisse wurde fur unerfahrene jungere Ingenieure und Studenten immer schwieriger. Um diesem Mangel zu begegnen, enthalt dieses Buch viele Zahlen- und Konstruk- tionsbeispiele, die Berechnung und Entwurf vereinfacht zeigen. Sie sollen helfen, spater die Computerresultate richtig zu deuten. Hierzu dient auch die weitreichen- de Diskussion der technischen und physikalischen Probleme und die eingehende Beschreibung des Betriebs der Maschinen. Auf die hier nicht behandelten Proble- me verweist ein ausfuhrliches Schrifttumverzeichnis.

At the beginning of the twentieth century Britain was amongst the world leaders in the production of machine tools, yet by the 1980s the industry was in terminal decline. Focusing on the example of Britain's largest machine tool maker, Alfred Herbert Ltd of Coventry, this study charts the wider fortunes of this vital part of the manufacturing sector. Taking a chronological approach, the book explores how during the late nineteenth century the industry developed a reputation for excellence throughout the world, before the challenges of two world wars necessitated drastic changes and reorganisations. Despite meeting these challenges and emerging with confidence into the post-war market place, the British machine tool industry never regained its pre-eminent position, and increasingly lost ground to foreign competition. By using the example of Alfred Herbert Ltd to illuminate the broader economic and business history of the British machine tool industry, this study not only provides a valuable insight into British manufacturing, but also contributes to the ongoing debates surrounding Britain's alleged decline as a manufacturing nation.
