This is one in a series of manuals for car o r motorcycle owners.
Each book provides information on routi ne maintenance and
servicing, with tasks described and photo graphed in a step-by-step
sequence so that even a novice can do the work. '
Both Jet-engine propelled aircraft and long-range rockets were
first successfully flown during World War II. This led 10 rapid
post-war improvements in both, and within two decades we had
supersonic airplanes, communication satellites, and trips to the
moon. Unmanned probes to Mars and the outer planets followed, as
well as the International Space Station. The technology behind
these advances is described, along with short biographies of key
pioneers. Problems at high Mach numbers are reviewed. Possible
future developments are discussed. Mora technical details,
including mathematics, are in an appendix.
Automotive Steels: Design, Metallurgy, Processing and Applications
explores the design, processing, metallurgy, and applications of
automotive steels. While some sheet steels are produced routinely
in high volume today, there have been significant advances in the
use of steel in the automotive industry. This book presents these
metallurgical and application aspects in a way that is not
available in the current literature. The editors have assembled an
international team of experts who discuss recent developments and
future prospects for automotive steels, compiling essential reading
for both academic and industrial metallurgists, automotive design
engineers, and postgraduate students attending courses on the
metallurgy of automotive materials.
High standards of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance
are expected in vehicle design. Refinement is therefore one of the
main engineering/design attributes to be addressed when developing
new vehicle models and components. Vehicle noise and vibration
refinement provides a review of noise and vibration refinement
principles, methods, advanced experimental and modelling techniques
and palliative treatments necessary in the process of vehicle
design, development and integration in order to meet noise and
vibration standards. Case studies from the collective experience of
specialists working for major automotive companies are included to
form an important reference for engineers practising in the motor
industry who seek to overcome the technological challenges faced in
developing quieter, more comfortable cars. The reader will be able
to develop an in-depth knowledge of the source and transmission
mechanisms of noise and vibration in motor vehicles, and a clear
understanding of vehicle refinement issues that directly influence
a customer's purchasing decision.
When international rules and regulations governing space travel
were first being developed, only a few countries had any space
presence and commercial space activity was non-existent. Today,
over 50 countries have on-orbit satellites and commercial space
presence is essential to commercial telecommunications and
broadcasting, yet international space law remains in its infancy.
Space Safety Regulations and Standards is the definitive book on
regulatory initiatives involving space safety, new space safety
standards, and safety related to new space technologies under
development. More than 30 world experts come together in this book
to share their detailed knowledge of regulatory and standard making
processes in the area, combining otherwise disparate information
into one essential reference and providing case studies to
illustrate applications throughout space programs internationally.
They address the international regulatory framework that relates to
traditional space safety programs as well as the emerging
regulatory framework that relates to commercial space programs,
space tourism, and efforts to create commercial space station
facilities.
Hybrid Ship Hulls provides an overview of cutting-edge developments
in hybrid composite-metal marine ship hulls, covering the critical
differences in material processing and structural behavior that
must be taken into account to maximise benefits and performance.
Supporting the design of effective hybrid hulls through proper
consideration of the benefits and challenges inherent to
heterogenic structures, the book covers specific details of quality
control, manufacturing, mechanical and thermal stress, and other
behavioral aspects that need to be treated differently when
engineering hybrid ship hulls. With a particular focus on
heavy-duty naval applications, the book includes guidance on the
selection of composite part configurations, innovative design
solutions, novel hybrid joining techniques, and serviceability
characterization.
Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) requires unique
information technology to meet the challenges set by today's
aviation industry. How do IT services relate to aircraft MRO, and
how may IT be leveraged in the future? Leveraging Information
Technology for Optimal Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul
(MRO) responds to these questions, and describes the background of
current trends in the industry, where airlines are tending to
retain aircraft longer on the one hand, and rapidly introducing new
genres of aircraft such as the A380 and B787, on the other. This
book provides industry professionals and students of aviation MRO
with the necessary principles, approaches and tools to respond
effectively and efficiently to the constant development of new
technologies, both in general and within the aviation MRO
profession. This book is designed as a primer on IT services for
aircraft engineering professionals and a handbook for IT
professionals servicing this niche industry, highlighting the
unique information requirements for aviation MRO and delving into
detailed aspects of information needs from within the industry.
