Case Studies in Engineering Design (Paperback): Cliff Matthews Case Studies in Engineering Design (Paperback)
Cliff Matthews
R2,680 Discovery Miles 26 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A multidisciplinary introduction to engineering design using real-life case studies.
Case Studies in Engineering Design provides students and practising engineers with many practical and accessible case studies which are representative of situations engineers face in professional life, and which incorporate a range of engineering disciplines.
Different methodologies of approaching engineering design are identified and explained prior to their application in the case studies. The case studies have been chosen from real-life engineering design projects and aim to expose students to a wide variety of design activities and situations, including those that have incomplete, or imperfect, information. This book encourages the student to be innovative, to try new ideas, whilst not losing sight of sound and well-proven engineering practice.
A set of notes for lecturers to accompany the book is available free to download from: http: //www.bh.com/manuals/0340691352

Neural Systems for Control (Hardcover): Omid Omidvar, David L. Elliott Neural Systems for Control (Hardcover)
Omid Omidvar, David L. Elliott
R2,444 Discovery Miles 24 440 Out of stock

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.
Key Features
* Focuses on research in natural and artifical neural systems directly applicable to contol or making use of modern control theory
* Represents the most up-to-date developments in this rapidly growing application area of neural networks
* Takes a new and novel approach to system identification and synthesis

Environmental and Health and Safety Management - A Guide to Compliance (Hardcover): Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff, Madelyn L.... Environmental and Health and Safety Management - A Guide to Compliance (Hardcover)
Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff, Madelyn L. Graffia
R1,602 Discovery Miles 16 020 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

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.

Fatigue of Metallic Materials, Volume 71 (Hardcover, 2nd edition): M. Klesnil, P. Lukac Fatigue of Metallic Materials, Volume 71 (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
M. Klesnil, P. Lukac
R1,423 Discovery Miles 14 230 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

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.
The authors present an updated review of results from countries both in the east and the west and cover a relatively large field in a concise manner. The work will be of value to research workers and students following advanced and post-graduate courses in the fields of materials science and mechanical engineering.

Hydrodynamic Lubrication, Volume 33 - Bearings and Thrust Bearings (Hardcover): J. Frene, D. Nicolas, B. Degueurce, D. Berthe,... Hydrodynamic Lubrication, Volume 33 - Bearings and Thrust Bearings (Hardcover)
J. Frene, D. Nicolas, B. Degueurce, D. Berthe, M. Godet
R7,290 Discovery Miles 72 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
