This book systematically describes the weld pool behavior in laser
welding and its influencing factors from the perspectives of
testing technology, theoretical calculation and process simulation
technology, physical state transformation behavior of weld pools,
and the impact of technical conditions on the weld pool behavior.
The book covers extensive research achievements made in China in
this field, some of which represent the latest cutting-edging
researches conducted by the authors' research team. These latest
research efforts mainly relate to the weld pool behavior of
dual-beam laser welding, laser welding with filler wires,
full-penetration laser welding of very-thick parts, and laser
welding in vacuum and low vacuum conditions. The book is intended
for undergraduate, graduate students and researchers who are
interested in laser welding.

algorithms which are developed by other authors and have been
successfully applied to various optimization problems. These
consist of Partical Swarm Optimization, Big Band Big Crunch
algorithm, Cuckoo Search Optimization, Imperialist Competitive
Algorithm and Chaos Embedded Metaheuristic Algorithm. Finally a
multi-objective Optimization is presented to Solve large scale
structural problems based on the Charged System Search algorithm,
In the second edition seven new chapters are added consisting of
Enhance colliding bodies optimization, Global sensitivity analysis,
Tug of War Optimization, Water evaporation optimization, Vibrating
System Optimization and Cyclical Parthenogenesis Optimization
algorithm. In the third edition, five new chapters are included
consisting of the recently developed algorithms. These are Shuffled
Shepherd Optimization Algorithm, Set Theoretical Shuffled Shepherd
Optimization Algorithm, Set Theoretical Teaching-Learning-Based
Optimization Algorithm, Thermal Exchange Metaheuristic Optimization
Algorithm, and Water Strider Optimization Algorithm and Its
Enhancement. The concepts and algorithm presented in this book are
not only applicable to optimization of skeletal structure, finite
element models, but can equally be utilized for optimal design of
other systems such as hydraulic and electrical networks.
Aerodynamics is a science that improves the ability to understand
theoretical basics and apply fundamental physics in real-life
problems. The study of the motion of air, both externally over an
airplane wing and internally over a scramjet engine intake, has
acknowledged the significance of studying both incompressible and
compressible flow aerodynamics. Aspects and Applications of
Incompressible and Compressible Aerodynamics discusses all aspects
of aerodynamics from application to theory. It further presents the
equations and mathematical models used to describe and characterize
flow fields as well as their thermodynamic aspects and
applications. Covering topics such as airplane configurations,
hypersonic vehicles, and the parametric effect of roughness, this
premier reference source is an essential resource for engineers,
scientists, students and educators of higher education, military
experts, libraries, government officials, researchers, and
academicians.
This is the first book about the "Kenzan" method for scaffold-free
biofabrication, which does not rely on biomaterials as scaffolds to
ensure correct multicellular spheroid positioning for building
three dimensional construct only made from cells. The book explains
the basic principles and concepts of the microneedle-based
("Kenzan") method of building surgically-implantable tissue
constructs using robotic cell spheroid-based three-dimensional
bioprinting, a novel technology that opens up unique opportunities
for the bioengineering of tissues and organs. First book on the
novel Kenzan method of tissue engineering; Explains basic concepts
and applications for organ regeneration modeling; Introduces a
unique robotic system for scaffold-free cell construction.
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of computational engineering, as
presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the
26th International Conference on Computational & Experimental
Engineering and Sciences (ICCES), held in Phuket, Thailand on
January 6-10, 2021. ICCES covers all aspects of applied sciences
and engineering: theoretical, analytical, computational, and
experimental studies and solutions of problems in the physical,
chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical, and mathematical
sciences. As such, the book discusses highly diverse topics,
including composites; bioengineering & biomechanics;
geotechnical engineering; offshore & arctic engineering;
multi-scale & multi-physics fluid engineering; structural
integrity & longevity; materials design & simulation; and
computer modeling methods in engineering. The contributions, which
were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review
process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel
research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
This book is devoted to researchers and teachers, as well as
graduate students, undergraduates and bachelors in engineering
mechanics, nano-mechanics, nanomaterials, nanostructures and
applied mathematics. It presents a collection of the latest
developments in the field of nonlinear (chaotic) dynamics of mass
distributed-parameter nanomechanical structures, providing a
rigorous and comprehensive study of modeling nonlinear phenomena.
It is written in a unique pedagogical style particularly suitable
for independent study and self-education. In addition, the book
achieves a good balance between Western and Eastern extensive
studies of the mathematical problems of nonlinear vibrations of
structural members.
