A multidisciplinary introduction to engineering design using
real-life case studies.
Save time with this collection of straightforward, common-sense
techniques that provide quick, accurate solutions to your
engineering problems.
Control problems offer an industrially important application and a
guide to understanding control systems for those working in Neural
Networks. Neural Systems for Control represents the most up-to-date
developments in the rapidly growing aplication area of neural
networks and focuses on research in natural and artifical neural
systems directly applicable to control or making use of modern
control theory. The book covers such important new developments in
control systems such as intelligent sensors in semiconductor wafer
manufacturing; the relation between muscles and cerebral neurons in
speech recognition; online compensation of reconfigurable control
for spacecraft aircraft and other systems; applications to rolling
mills, robotics and process control; the usage of past output data
to identify nonlinear systems by neural networks; neural
approximate optimal control; model-free nonlinear control; and
neural control based on a regulation of physiological
investigation/blood pressure control. All researchers and students
dealing with control systems will find the fascinating Neural
Systems for Control of immense interest and assistance.
This volume has been prepared for the Environmental and Health & Safety Manager. The EH&S manager is a new breed of corporate professionals that are faced with the responsibility of handling both environmental policy/issues and occupational safety issues within organizations. Throughout the 1980s there was a proliferation of health and safety departments, environmental compliance personnel, and technical people associated with handling pollution control and waste management. American industry has been over the last several years contracting and downsizing their operations. In doing so, many corporations, large and small, are demanding greater responsibilities be delegated to middle and line function management. In this regard, many corporations today are moving towards a single management entity, the EH&S manager, who's responsibilities require extensive knowledge of both the environmental statutes and OSHA standards. This desk reference has been written as a compliance source for the EH&S manager. The authors prefer to call the EH&S manager an Occupational Safety Professional and use this designation interchangeably throughout the text. This individual, as stated above, has a dual responsibility that requires both technical and managerial skills in two arenas. In this regard, this book provides the working professional a reference on both the environmental regulations and industry safety standards. Additionally, it covers management practices for on-site hazard materials handling operations and constitutes an important reference for establishing hazard communication and training programs for employees.
State-of-the-art metals treatment and recovery technologies to assist in identifying waste management options.
This book reviews problems in the mechanical behaviour of
cyclically loaded metallic materials, primarily with regard to the
nature of the fatigue process. The first edition of the book
appeared in 1980. The present second edition represents a revised
form of the original book and also covers recent developments in
the field. As the book focuses on physical-metallurgical aspects,
it occupies a unique and important position in the technical
literature, which has so far been devoted mainly to engineering
metal fatigue problems and their technical solution in specific
practical cases. The book provides a compact review of current
knowledge on physical metallurgical processes that accompany and
affect the fatigue of metallic materials, and also presents the
background for applying the new results to practical designing and
to the selection of materials in engineering practice.
Pipe Drafting and Design, Third Edition provides step-by-step instructions to walk pipe designers, drafters, and students through the creation of piping arrangement and isometric drawings. It includes instructions for the proper drawing of symbols for fittings, flanges, valves, and mechanical equipment. More than 350 illustrations and photographs provide examples and
visual instructions. A unique feature is the systematic arrangement
of drawings that begins with the layout of the structural
foundations of a facility and continues through to the development
of a 3-D model. Advanced chapters discuss the use of 3-D software
tools from which elevation, section and isometric drawings, and
bills of materials are extracted. New to this edition: A large scale project that includes foundation location, equipment location, arrangement, and vendor drawings Updated discussion and use of modern CAD tools Additional exercises, drawings, and dimensioning charts to provide practice and assessment New set of Powerpoint images to help develop classroom lectures
Hydrodynamic Lubrication is the culmination of over 20 years close,
collaborative work by the five authors and discusses the practical
use of the formalization of low pressure lubrication. The work
concentrates on the developments to journal and thrust bearings and
includes subjects such as: - the dynamic behaviour of plain and tilting-pads - the thermal aspects - the positive and negative effects of non-cyclindricity and shape defects resulting from manufacturing or operation - the effects of inertia - the appearance of Taylor's vortices and of turbulence and their repercussions. The book contains an abundance of test results objectively compared with theoretical conclusions and a chapter on "technical considerations" to ensure that draft mechanisms will work satisfactorily under the imposed conditions. Hydrodynamic Lubrication is an essential reference book for future and practising engineers who want to put hydrodynamic and hydrostatic journal bearings and thrust bearings into operation under conditions of total safety. |
