This book gathers the outcomes of the second ECCOMAS CM3 Conference
series on transport, which addressed the main challenges and
opportunities that computation and big data represent for transport
and mobility in the automotive, logistics, aeronautics and
marine-maritime fields. Through a series of plenary lectures and
mini-forums with lectures followed by question-and-answer sessions,
the conference explored potential solutions and innovations to
improve transport and mobility in surface and air applications. The
book seeks to answer the question of how computational research in
transport can provide innovative solutions to Green Transportation
challenges identified in the ambitious Horizon 2020 program. In
particular, the respective papers present the state of the art in
transport modeling, simulation and optimization in the fields of
maritime, aeronautics, automotive and logistics research. In
addition, the content includes two white papers on transport
challenges and prospects. Given its scope, the book will be of
interest to students, researchers, engineers and practitioners
whose work involves the implementation of Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS) software for the optimal use of roads, including
safety and security, traffic and travel data, surface and air
traffic management, and freight logistics.
This book covers cutting-edge findings related to uncertainty
quantification and optimization under uncertainties (i.e. robust
and reliable optimization), with a special emphasis on aeronautics
and turbomachinery, although not limited to these fields. It
describes new methods for uncertainty quantification, such as
non-intrusive polynomial chaos, collocation methods, perturbation
methods, as well as adjoint based and multi-level Monte Carlo
methods. It includes methods for characterization of most
influential uncertainties, as well as formulations for robust and
reliable design optimization. A distinctive element of the book is
the unique collection of test cases with prescribed uncertainties,
which are representative of the current engineering practice of the
industrial consortium partners involved in UMRIDA, a level 1
collaborative project within the European Commission's Seventh
Framework Programme (FP7). All developed methods are benchmarked
against these industrial challenges. Moreover, the book includes a
section dedicated to Best Practice Guidelines for uncertainty
quantification and robust design optimization, summarizing the
findings obtained by the consortium members within the UMRIDA
project. All in all, the book offers a authoritative guide to
cutting-edge methodologies for uncertainty management in
engineering design, covers a wide range of applications and
discusses new ideas for future research and interdisciplinary
collaborations.

With more than 650 color images, basic and traditional upholstery
techniques are presented in step-by-step detail. Traditional
upholstery is a craft that has evolved over centuries for padding
and covering chairs, seats, and sofas. Using a solid wood or webbed
platform, it can involve the use of springs, lashings, stuffings of
animal hair, grasses and coir, wools, hessians, and scrims, as well
as bridle or stuffing ties, blind stitching, top stitching, flocks,
and wadding. Projects include various styles of chairs, from a
classic dining room table chair to a contemporary armchair, antique
sofa, and a bed headboard. A detailed worksheet of the general
process takes you through design elements to be considered prior to
embarking on your project, introduces types of stitching, and helps
you troubleshoot problems. A gallery of completed projects will
inspire your own creative ideas.
