Connected and Automated Vehicles: Integrating Engineering and Ethics (2023 ed.): Fabio Fossa, Federico Cheli Connected and Automated Vehicles: Integrating Engineering and Ethics (2023 ed.)
Fabio Fossa, Federico Cheli
R4,338 Discovery Miles 43 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book reports on theoretical and practical analyses of the ethical challenges connected to driving automation. It also aims at discussing issues that have arisen from the European Commission 2020 report “Ethics of Connected and Automated Vehicles. Recommendations on Road Safety, Privacy, Fairness, Explainability and Responsibility”. Gathering contributions by philosophers, social scientists, mechanical engineers, and UI designers, the book discusses key ethical concerns relating to responsibility and personal autonomy, privacy, safety, and cybersecurity, as well as explainability and human-machine interaction. On the one hand, it examines these issues from a theoretical, normative point of view. On the other hand, it proposes practical strategies to face the most urgent ethical problems, showing how the integration of ethics and technology can be achieved through design practices. All in all, this book fosters a multidisciplinary approach where philosophy, ethics, and engineering are integrated, rather than just juxtaposed. It is meant to inform and inspire an audience of philosophers of technology, ethicists, engineers, developers, manufacturers, and regulators, among other interested readers.

Advanced Dynamics of Mechanical Systems (Hardcover, 2015 ed.): Federico Cheli, Giorgio Diana Advanced Dynamics of Mechanical Systems (Hardcover, 2015 ed.)
Federico Cheli, Giorgio Diana
R3,793 Discovery Miles 37 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book introduces a general approach for schematization of mechanical systems with rigid and deformable bodies. It proposes a systems approach to reproduce the interaction of the mechanical system with different force fields such as those due to the action of fluids or contact forces between bodies, i.e., with forces dependent on the system states, introducing the concepts of the stability of motion. In the first part of the text mechanical systems with one or more degrees of freedom with large motion and subsequently perturbed in the neighborhood of the steady state position are analyzed. Both discrete and continuous systems (modal approach, finite elements) are analyzed. The second part is devoted to the study of mechanical systems subject to force fields, the rotor dynamics, techniques of experimental identification of the parameters and random excitations. The book will be especially valuable for students of engineering courses in Mechanical Systems, Aerospace, Automation and Energy but will also be useful for professionals. The book is made accessible to the widest possible audience by numerous, solved examples and diagrams that apply the principles to real engineering applications.

The Engineering Approach to Winter Sports (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016): Francesco Braghin,... The Engineering Approach to Winter Sports (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016)
Francesco Braghin, Federico Cheli, Stefano Maldifassi, Stefano Melzi, Edoardo Sabbioni
R5,668 Discovery Miles 56 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Engineering Approach to Winter Sports presents the state-of-the-art research in the field of winter sports in a harmonized and comprehensive way for a diverse audience of engineers, equipment and facilities designers, and materials scientists. The book examines the physics and chemistry of snow and ice with particular focus on the interaction (friction) between sports equipment and snow/ice, how it is influenced by environmental factors, such as temperature and pressure, as well as by contaminants and how it can be modified through the use of ski waxes or the microtextures of blades or ski soles. The authors also cover, in turn, the different disciplines in winter sports: skiing (both alpine and cross country), skating and jumping, bob sledding and skeleton, hockey and curling, with attention given to both equipment design and on the simulation of gesture and track optimization.
