Sports Innovation, Technology and Research gives an insight into recent research and design projects at Imperial College London. It presents the on-going development of a diverse range of areas from elite rowing performance to impact protection to sporting amenities in communities.Also included are descriptions of some of the latest innovations that have been developed as part of the Rio Tinto Sports Innovation Challenge, an initiative that tasked engineering students to design, build and implement Paralympic and other sporting equipment. It offers a glimpse at the breadth of creativity that can be achieved when human centred design is applied to an area such as disabled sport. It also shows the potential that design and engineering have to contribute to healthy lifestyles and the generation of whole new sporting domains.This book will be valuable for anyone with an interest in sports technology, including those in industry, academia, sports organisations and athletes themselves.
'Practical Temperature Measurement' introduces the concepts of
temperature and its measurement to engineers, physicists and
chemists of all disciplines. The author describes the wide range of
techniques and specific devices available for temperature
measurement and provides guidance for the selection of a particular
method for a given application. It is of value to engineering and
physics postgraduates studying modules on instrumentation and
process control and, in addition, for practical project work
requiring an understanding of temperature measurement methods.
Mechanical Design Engineering Handbook, Second Edition, is a straight-talking and forward-thinking reference covering the design, specification, selection, use and integration of the machine elements that are fundamental to a wide range of engineering applications. This updated edition includes new material on tolerancing, alternative approaches to design, and robotics, as well as references to the latest ISO and US engineering regulations. Sections cover bearings, shafts, gears, seals, belts and chains, clutches and brakes, springs, fasteners, pneumatics and hydraulics, amongst other core mechanical elements. This practical handbook is an ideal shelf reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries. In addition, it is also a valuable learning resource for advanced students undertaking engineering design modules and projects as part of broader mechanical, aerospace, automotive and manufacturing programs.
Rotating flow is critically important across a wide range of scientific, engineering and product applications, providing design and modeling capability for diverse products such as jet engines, pumps and vacuum cleaners, as well as geophysical flows. Developed over the course of 20 years' research into rotating fluids and associated heat transfer at the University of Sussex Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre (TFMRC), Rotating Flow is an indispensable reference and resource for all those working within the gas turbine and rotating machinery industries. Traditional fluid and flow dynamics titles offer the essential background but generally include very sparse coverage of rotating flows-which is where this book comes in. Beginning with an accessible introduction to rotating flow, recognized expert Peter Childs takes you through fundamental equations, vorticity and vortices, rotating disc flow, flow around rotating cylinders and flow in rotating cavities, with an introduction to atmospheric and oceanic circulations included to help deepen understanding. Whilst competing resources are weighed down with complex mathematics, this book focuses on the essential equations and provides full workings to take readers step-by-step through the theory so they can concentrate on the practical applications.
The automotive industry is constantly challenged at the design and manufacturing stages with providing the newest and most advanced technology for the customer. Integrating it seamlessly into everyday vehicle manufacture taking into account aspects such as environmental and safety legislation, customer comfort and cost-effectiveness. "Total Vehicle Technology - Challenging Current Thinking" provides an opportunity for the presentation of the engineering and design tasks involved in the production of a vehicle. The underlying theme of the contributions is the integration of technologies in vehicle and automotive engineering. The subtitle, "Challenging Current Thinking", stems from the thrust and diversity of the papers presented here, combined with the realization among some major players and commentators that current engineering, design and business strategies are just not going to work within the projected automotive industry environment. Contributions on subjects as diverse as next-generation styling to emissions control, cover such topics as: safety systems; transport and energy use; analysis and calculation; simulation and testing; modelling; and production. "Total Vehicle Technology - Challenging Current Thinking" is valuable reading for all those wishing to be well informed about the way in which the automotive industry innovates and improves vehicle technology in response to market demands.
