Evgeny N. Barkanov, Ivan A. Parinov
R4,877 Discovery Miles 48 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book describes efficient and safe repair operations for pipelines, and develops new methods for the detection and repair of volumetric surface defects in transmission pipelines. It also addresses the physics, mechanics, and applications of advanced materials used for composite repair of corroded pipelines. Presenting results obtained in the European Commission's INNOPIPES FRAMEWORK 7 programme, it develops long-range ultrasonic and phased array technologies for pipeline diagnostics, and explores their interactions with discontinuities and directional properties of ultrasonic antenna array. The book subsequently shares the results of non-destructive testing for different types of materials applications and advanced composite repair systems, and characterizes the mechanical properties by means of fracture methods and non-destructive techniques. In turn, the book assesses the currently available technologies for reinforcement of pipelines, drawing on the experience gai ned by project partners, and evaluates the recovery of the carrying capacity of pipeline sections with local corrosion damage by means of analytical and numerical procedures. It develops an optimization method based on the planning of experiments and surface techniques for advanced composite repair systems, before validating the numerical models developed and experimentally gauging the effectiveness of composite repair with the help of full-scale hydraulic tests.

Process Pump Selection - A Systems Approach 2e (Hardcover, 2 Revised Edition): J. Davidson Process Pump Selection - A Systems Approach 2e (Hardcover, 2 Revised Edition)
J. Davidson
R3,489 Discovery Miles 34 890 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This fully revised and up-dated second edition of "Process Pump Selection" represents the distilled expereince of a team of highly regarded engineers working for large process companies over a period of more than 20 years. It is a classic example of experiential learning, where experience witrh hundreds of pumping installaitons has been synthesized to provide a series of empirical formulae, design guides, and codes of practice for pump users. It is the very essence of professional engineering practice. This text eases the daunting task that faces a process industries' engineer employed in th eprocess industries and responsible for the specificaiton, selection, and purchase of process equipment. There are many national and international specifications laying down design and construcitonal requirements. These deal mainly with the shape and safety issues, but they are no help in selecting a pump suitable for a given duty. Further manufacturers' data give only the basic performance of a pump: the effect of fluid properties and performance limits, as well as control requirements, are not included in catalogue material. This volume provides essential guidelines, based on the operaitonal experience of large numbers of pumping installations over many years on a diverse range of duties and process plants.

Learning-Based Adaptive Control - An Extremum Seeking Approach - Theory and Applications (Paperback): Mouhacine Benosman Learning-Based Adaptive Control - An Extremum Seeking Approach - Theory and Applications (Paperback)
Mouhacine Benosman
R2,569 Discovery Miles 25 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Adaptive control has been one of the main problems studied in control theory. The subject is well understood, yet it has a very active research frontier. This book focuses on a specific subclass of adaptive control, namely, learning-based adaptive control. As systems evolve during time or are exposed to unstructured environments, it is expected that some of their characteristics may change. This book offers a new perspective about how to deal with these variations. By merging together Model-Free and Model-Based learning algorithms, the author demonstrates, using a number of mechatronic examples, how the learning process can be shortened and optimal control performance can be reached and maintained.

Virtual Work and Shape Change in Solid Mechanics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Michel Fremond Virtual Work and Shape Change in Solid Mechanics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Michel Fremond
R4,791 Discovery Miles 47 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides novel insights into two fundamental subjects in solid mechanics: virtual work and shape change. The author explains how the principle of virtual work represents a tool for analysis of the mechanical effects of the evolution of the shape of a system, how it can be applied to observations and experiments, and how it may be adapted to produce predictive theories of numerous phenomena. The book is divided into three parts. The first relates the principle of virtual work to what we observe with our eyes, the second demonstrates its flexibility on the basis of many examples, and the third applies the principle to predict the motion of solids with large deformations. Examples of both usual and unusual shape changes are presented, and equations of motion, some of which are entirely new, are derived for smooth and non-smooth motions associated with, for instance, systems of disks, systems of balls, classical and non-classical small deformation theories, systems involving volume and surface damage, systems with interactions at a distance (e.g., solids reinforced by fibers), systems involving porosity, collisions, and fracturing of solids.

Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a relatively new research area which describes the methods and approaches used to supply quantitative descriptions of the effects of uncertainty, variability and errors in simulation problems and models. It is rapidly becoming a field of increasing importance, with many real-world applications within statistics, mathematics, probability and engineering, but also within the natural sciences. Literature on the topic has up until now been largely based on polynomial chaos, which raises difficulties when considering different types of approximation and does not lead to a unified presentation of the methods. Moreover, this description does not consider either deterministic problems or infinite dimensional ones. This book gives a unified, practical and comprehensive presentation of the main techniques used for the characterization of the effect of uncertainty on numerical models and on their exploitation in numerical problems. In particular, applications to linear and nonlinear systems of equations, differential equations, optimization and reliability are presented. Applications of stochastic methods to deal with deterministic numerical problems are also discussed. Matlab (R) illustrates the implementation of these methods and makes the book suitable as a textbook and for self-study.
