Externally tunable properties allow for new applications of magnetic hybrid materials containing magnetic micro- and nanoparticles in sensors and actuators in technical and medical applications. By means of easy to generate and control magnetic fields, changes of the internal particle arrangements and the macroscopic properties can be achieved. This monograph delivers the latest insights into multi-scale modelling, experimental characterization, manufacturing and application of those magnetic hybrid materials.
Topics of this book span the range from spatial and temporal discretization techniques for contact and impact problems with small and finite deformations over investigations on the reliability of micromechanical contact models over emerging techniques for rolling contact mechanics to homogenization methods and multi-scale approaches in contact problems.
Originally published in 1904. A detailed history of the two famous engineers, James Watt and Matthew Boulton, with details of their inventions and work. Much emphasis on the steam engine. Early Life of James Watt - James Watt, His Birthplace and Lineage - Glasgow in 1754 - Early Knowledge of the Power of Steam - Robinson and Watt's Conferences on the Power of Steam - Watt's Introduction to Dr. Roebuck - Birmingham in Early Times - Water and Horse Power at Soho - Characteristics of Matthew Boulton - Watt's House, Harpers Hill - Inefficiency of the Newcomen Pumping Engines - Lieutenant Henderson in Cornwall - Watt Again Visits Cornwall - Financial Position of the Firm - Boulton's Action in Commercial Politics - Friends of Boulton and Watt - Increasing Debasement of the Coinage - Prosperity of Soho - Watt Withdraws from Soho - Watt's Closing Years Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Written from the practitioner's perspective, this book is designed
as a companion for engineers who are working in the field and faced
with various problems related to pressure vessels and stacks, such
as: modification, retrofitting existing pressure vessels or stacks
to either enhance process capability, lift, move or replace damaged
equipment. This makes the book a valuable guide for new engineers
who need to develop a feel for these types of operations or more
experienced engineers who wish to acquire more useful tips, this
handy manual provides the readers with rules of thumbs and tips to
mitigate or remediate problems which can occur on a daily bases.
"Advanced Piping Design" is an intermediate-level handbook covering guidelines and procedures on process plants and interconnecting piping systems. As a follow up with Smith s best-selling work published in 2007 by Gulf Publishing Company, "The Fundamentals of Piping Design," this handbook contributes more customized information on the necessary process equipment required for a suitable plant layout, such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks, cooling towers and more While integrating equipment with all critical design considerations, these two volumes together are must-haves for any engineer continuing to learn about piping design and process equipment."
Control Applications for Biomedical Engineering Systems presents different control engineering and modeling applications in the biomedical field. It is intended for senior undergraduate or graduate students in both control engineering and biomedical engineering programs. For control engineering students, it presents the application of various techniques already learned in theoretical lectures in the biomedical arena. For biomedical engineering students, it presents solutions to various problems in the field using methods commonly used by control engineers.
Computational elastohydrodynamics, a part of tribology, has existed
happily enough for about fifty years without the use of accurate
models for the rheology of the liquids used as lubricants. For low
molecular weight liquids, such as low viscosity mineral oils, it
has been possible to calculate, with precision, the film thickness
in a concentrated contact provided that the pressure and
temperature are relatively low, even when the pressure variation of
viscosity is not accurately modelled in detail. Other successes
have been more qualitative in nature, using effective properties
which come from the fitting of parameters used in calculations to
experimental measurements of the contact behaviour, friction or
film thickness.
Acoustic Emission in Friction is devoted to acoustic, mainly
ultrasonic, emission that occurs in friction of machine components.
Its crucial novelty is in systematizing the advances in its use for
monitoring technical systems, especially in the important nuclear
power industry.
This book is a result of many years of author's research and
teaching on random vibration and control. It was used as lecture
notes for a graduate course. It provides a systematic review of
theory of probability, stochastic processes, and stochastic
calculus. The feedback control is also reviewed in the book. Random
vibration analyses of SDOF, MDOF and continuous structural systems
are presented in a pedagogical order. The application of the random
vibration theory to reliability and fatigue analysis is also
discussed. Recent research results on fatigue analysis of
non-Gaussian stress processes are also presented. Classical
feedback control, active damping, covariance control, optimal
control, sliding control of stochastic systems, feedback control of
stochastic time-delayed systems, and probability density tracking
control are studied. Many control results are new in the literature
and included in this book for the first time. The book serves as a
reference to the engineers who design and maintain structures
subject to harsh random excitations including earthquakes, sea
waves, wind gusts, and aerodynamic forces, and would like to reduce
the damages of structural systems due to random excitations. |
