Corrosion is a huge issue for materials, mechanical, civil and
petrochemical engineers. With comprehensive coverage of the
principles of corrosion engineering, this book is a one-stop text
and reference for students and practicing corrosion engineers.
Highly illustrated, with worked examples and definitions, it covers
basic corrosion principles, and more advanced information for
postgraduate students and professionals. Basic principles of
electrochemistry and chemical thermodynamics are incorporated to
make the book accessible for students and engineers who do not have
prior knowledge of this area. Each form of corrosion covered in the
book has a definition, description, mechanism, examples and
preventative methods. Case histories of failure are cited for each
form. End of chapter questions are accompanied by an online
solutions manual.
A uniquely practical DSP text, this book gives a thorough
understanding of the principles and applications of DSP with a
minimum of mathematics, and provides the reader with an
introduction to DSP applications in telecoms, control engineering
and measurement and data analysis systems.
Infinite Words is an important theory in both Mathematics and
Computer Sciences. Many new developments have been made in the
field, encouraged by its application to problems in computer
science. Infinite Words is the first manual devoted to this topic.
This title is the result of a one-week workshop sponsored by the Swedish research agency, FRN, on the interface between complexity and art. Among others, it includes discussions on whether "good" art is "complex" art, how artists see the term "complex," and what poets try to convey in word about complex behavior in nature.
The definitive practical guide to choosing the optimum
manufacturing process, written for students and engineers.
This book is carefully designed to be used on a wide range of
introductory courses at first degree and HND level in the U.K.,
with content matched to a variety of first year degree modules from
IEng and other BSc Engineering and Technology courses. Lecturers
will find the breadth of material covered gears the book towards a
flexible style of use, which can be tailored to their syllabus, and
used along side the other IIE Core Textbooks to bring first year
students up to speed on the mathematics they require for their
engineering degree.
Essential Java serves as an introduction to the programming
language, Java, for scientists and engineers, and can also be used
by experienced programmers wishing to learn Java as an additional
language. The book focuses on how Java, and object-oriented
programming, can be used to solve science and engineering problems.
Working through this student-centred text readers will be brought
up to speed with the modelling of control systems using Laplace,
and given a solid grounding of the pivotal role of control systems
across the spectrum of modern engineering. A clear, readable text
is supported by numerous worked example and problems.
Multigrid presents both an elementary introduction to multigrid
methods for solving partial differential equations and a
contemporary survey of advanced multigrid techniques and real-life
applications.
Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey
from a qualitative introduction to the physical nature of sound,
explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and
analytical results which underlie the techniques applied by the
engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their
products. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions and
explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their
relevance to engineering, supported by a wealth of diagrams, and by
a guide for teachers of tried and tested class demonstrations and
laboratory-based experiments.
This book describes the use of models in process engineering.
Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about
anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically,
the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and
analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process.
For example, process engineers would apply models to perform
feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental
impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents.
'Introduction to Digital Signal Processing' covers the basic theory
and practice of digital signal processing (DSP) at an introductory
level. As with all volumes in the Essential Electronics Series,
this book retains the unique formula of minimal mathematics and
straightforward explanations. The author has included examples
throughout of the standard software design package, MATLAB and
screen dumps are used widely throughout to illustrate the text.
Engineers need to be familiar with the fundamental principles and concepts in materials and structures in order to be able to design structurers to resist failures. For 4 decades, this book has provided engineers with these fundamentals. Thoroughly updated, the book has been expanded to cover
everything on materials and structures that engineering students
are likely to need. Starting with basic mechanics, the book goes on
to cover modern numerical techniques such as matrix and finite
element methods. There is also additional material on composite
materials, thick shells, flat plates and the vibrations of complex
structures. Illustrated throughout with worked examples, the book
also provides numerous problems for students to attempt.
Professor Pearson's book starts with an introduction to the area
and an explanation of the most commonly used functions. It then
moves on through differentiation, special functions, derivatives,
integrals and onto full differential equations. As with other books
in the series the emphasis is on using worked examples and
tutorial-based problem solving to gain the confidence of students.
Vectors in 2 or 3 Dimensions provides an introduction to vectors
from their very basics. The author has approached the subject from
a geometrical standpoint and although applications to mechanics
will be pointed out and techniques from linear algebra employed, it
is the geometric view which is emphasised throughout.
Mathematical modelling modules feature in most university
undergraduate mathematics courses. As one of the fastest growing
areas of the curriculum it represents the current trend in teaching
the more complex areas of mathematics. This book introduces
mathematical modelling to the new style of undergraduate - those
with less prior knowledge, who require more emphasis on application
of techniques in the following sections: What is mathematical
modelling?; Seeing modelling at work through population growth;
Seeing modelling at work through published papers; Modelling in
mechanics.
* Assumes no prior knowledge
The introduction of the Fortran 90 standard is the first
significant change in the Fortran language in over 20 years. this
book is designed for anyone wanting to learn Fortran for the first
time or or a programmer who needs to upgrade from Fortran 77 to
Fortran 90.
The remarkable developments in differential topology and how these
recent advances have been applied as a primary research tool in
quantum field theory are presented here in a style reflecting the
genuinely two-sided interaction between mathematical physics and
applied mathematics. The author, following his previous work
(Nash/Sen: Differential Topology for Physicists, Academic Press,
1983), covers elliptic differential and pseudo-differential
operators, Atiyah-Singer index theory, topological quantum field
theory, string theory, and knot theory. The explanatory approach
serves to illuminate and clarify these theories for graduate
students and research workers entering the field for the first
time.
This book describes modern techniques for reducing the level of airborne noise through the introduction of sound radiated by additional secondary sources, bringing together the results of contemporary research in this area. It is the combination of the physical properties of sound fields and modern digital signal processing technology that has made the active control of sound a practical proposition in a number of important applications. The book covers both these aspects of the subject, initially at a fundamental level, and then in detail in later chapters. The structure of the book is such that it should be suitable for both those seeking a basic understanding of the subject and as a reference for researchers in the field. One of the key features of the work is thus the unified presentation of material from the two disciplines of acoustics and signal processing.
It is fitting that Book I of the series should be on the subject of finite elements. The finite element method is now well established as an engineering tool with wide application. At the same time is has attracted considerable attention from mathematicians over the last ten years, so that a large body of mathematical theory now exists.
Multivariate Analysis deals with observations on more than one variable where there is some inherent interdependence between the variables. With several texts already available in this area, one may very well enquire of the authors as to the need for yet another book. Most of the available books fall into two categories, either theoretical or data analytic. The present book not only combines the two approaches but it also has been guided by the need to give suitable matter for the beginner as well as illustrating some deeper aspects of the subject for the research worker. Practical examples are kept to the forefront and, wherever feasible, each technique is motivated by such an example.
Thermodynamic Tables to Accompany Modern Engineering Thermodynamics is a companion text to Modern Engineering Thermodynamics by Robert T. Balmer. It contains two Appendices-Appendix C features 40 thermodynamic tables, while Appendix D provides 6 thermodynamic charts. These charts and tables are provided in a separate booklet to give instructors the flexibility of allowing students to bring the tables into exams. This booklet is provided at no extra charge with new copies of Balmer's book. It may be purchased separately if needed.
Linear Algebra: An Introduction With Mathematica uses a matrix-based presentation and covers the standard topics any mathematician will need to understand linear algebra while using Mathematica. Development of analytical and computational skills is emphasized, and worked examples provide step-by-step methods for solving basic problems using Mathematica. The subject's rich pertinence to problem solving across disciplines is illustrated with applications in engineering, the natural sciences, computer animation, and statistics. |
