This book investigates the expanding involvement of China in
security cooperation in Africa. Drawing on leading and emerging
scholars in the field, the volume uses a combination of analytical
insights and case studies to unpack the complexity of security
challenges confronting China and the continent. It interrogates how
security considerations impact upon the growing economic and social
links China has developed with African states.
The Inclusion-Based Boundary Element Method (iBEM) is an innovative
numerical method for the study of the multi-physical and mechanical
behaviour of composite materials, linear elasticity, potential flow
or Stokes fluid dynamics. It combines the basic ideas of Eshelby's
Equivalent Inclusion Method (EIM) in classic micromechanics and the
Boundary Element Method (BEM) in computational mechanics. The book
starts by explaining the application and extension of the EIM from
elastic problems to the Stokes fluid, and potential flow problems
for a multiphase material system in the infinite domain. It also
shows how switching the Green's function for infinite domain
solutions to semi-infinite domain solutions allows this method to
solve semi-infinite domain problems. A thorough examination of
particle-particle interaction and particle-boundary interaction
exposes the limitation of the classic micromechanics based on
Eshelby's solution for one particle embedded in the infinite
domain, and demonstrates the necessity to consider the particle
interactions and boundary effects for a composite containing a
fairly high volume fraction of the dispersed materials. Starting by
covering the fundamentals required to understand the method and
going on to describe everything needed to apply it to a variety of
practical contexts, this book is the ideal guide to this innovative
numerical method for students, researchers, and engineers.
Modelling and simulation (M&S) based systems engineering
(MSBSE) is the extension of MBSE, which enhances the value of MBSE
and the ability of digitally evaluating and optimizing the whole
system through comprehensive applications of M&S technologies.
This book puts together the recent research in MSBSE, and hopefully
this will provide the researchers and engineers with reference
cases in M&S technologies to support the R&D of complex
products and systems.
The proceedings cover the latest research in advanced materials
such as design, synthesis and development of new materials,
processing technology for new materials, and modeling and
simulation of materials processing.
