Thomas Mase Publisher: CRC Publication Date: 1999-06-18 Number Of Pages: 377 The Second Edition of this popular text continues to provide asolid, fundamental introduction to the mathematics, laws, and applications of continuum mechanics. With the addition of three new chapters and eight new sections to existing chapters, the authors now provide even better coverage of continuum mechanics basics and focus even more attention on its applications Beginning with the basic mathematical tools needed-including matrix methods and the algebra and calculus of Cartesian tensors-the authors develop the principles of stress, strain, and motion and derive the fundamental physical laws relating to continuity, energy, and momentum. With this basis established, they move to their expanded treatment of applications, including linear and nonlinear elasticity, fluids, and linear viscoelasticity Mastering the *******s of Continuum Mechanics: Second Edition provides the reader with the foundation necessary to be a skilled user of today's advanced design tools, such as sophisticated simulation programs that use nonlinear kinematics and a variety of constitutive relationships. With its ample illustrations and exercises, it offers the ideal self- study vehicle for practicing engineers and an excellent introductory text for advanced engineering students ~ ISBN: 3527303391 Title: Handbook of Cellular Metals: Production, Processing, Applications Author: Hans-Peter Degischer, Brigitte Kriszt Publisher: Wiley-VCH Publication Date: 2002-06-10 Number Of Pages: 398 The past few years have seen an increasing interest in porous metallic materials, especially in foams made of aluminum or aluminum alloys. The stimulus for this lies in recent process developments which promise materials with better quality and lower cost. Moreover, the environment for the application of new materials has greatly changed. Nowadays higher demands for passenger safety in automobiles or for easy materials recycling make metal foams attractive where, a few years ago, the same material would have been ruled out for technical or economical reasons. This handbook gives any materials scientist and engineer involved in the research, development and application of metal foams an overview on the most recent results on new production processes, applications and industrial uses as well as the important topic of characterization and properties of these advanced materials. Booknews Annotation This book overviews recent results on new production processes, applications, and industrial uses of porous metallic materials and describes the properties of these materials. Chapters cover material definitions and processing, secondary treatment and characterization of cellular metals, material properties, modeling and simulation, service properties and exploitability, and design and application. B&w and a few color images are included. The book is of interest to materials scientists and engineers involved in the research, development, and application of metal foams.

Gingery Publisher: D.J. Gingery Publication Date: 1999-07 Number Of Pages: 106 http://mihd.net/tbh1fa ~ ISBN: 1402032749 Title: Machine Learning in Computer Vision (Computational Imaging and Vision) Author: Nicu Sebe Publisher: Springer Publication Date: 2005-08-01 Number Of Pages: 264 The goal of this book is to address the use of several important machine learning techniques into computer vision applications. An innovative combination of computer vision and machine learning techniques has the promise of advancing the field of computer vision, which contributes to better understanding of complex real-world applications. The effective usage of machine learning technology in real-world computer vision problems requires understanding the domain of application, abstraction of a learning problem from a given computer vision task, and the selection of appropriate representations for the learnable (input) and learned (internal) entities of the system. In this book, we address all these important aspects from a new perspective: that the key element in the current computer revolution is the use of machine learning to capture the variations in visual appearance, rather than having the designer of the model accomplish this. As a bonus, models learned from large datasets are likely to be more robust and more realistic than the brittle all-design models ~ ISBN: 0071360662 Title: Handbook of Machining and Metalworking Calculations Author: Ronald A.

Haines Douglas C. Hittle Publisher: Springer Publication Date: 2006-01-19 Number Of Pages: 366 ISBN: 0387305211 Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, Sixth Edition contains a comprehensive treatment of heating and air conditioning system controls. This book was originally written to provide fundamentals of HVAC control to practitioners who were designing new control systems or maintaining existing control systems. Emphasis on fundamental control system principles along with the psychrometrics of air conditioning processes has remained a focus of the new edition. While control system technology has changed drastically over the years, the fundamentals of controlling heating and air conditioning systems have changed only modestly. Readers will find that fundamentals of existing control systems remain in this book so that those who need to maintain or troubleshoot systems that are twenty or thirty years old will be able to see what practitioners did during that time frame. In addition the ubiquitous application of digital control technology in very recent times is also described. Note that the fundamental control principles once implemented pneumatically are now being implemented in modern digital computers - software now replaces hardware. Another change since the last addition is a new emphasis on controlling minimum fresh air for validation purposes. New techniques for doing this have been developed in response to ASHRAE Standard 62, "Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality," and these methods are included. Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, Sixth Edition is complete and covers both hardware control systems and modern control technology. The material is presented without bias and without prejudice toward particular hardware or software. Readers with an engineering degree will be reminded of the psychrometric processes associated with heating and air conditioning as they learn of the various controls schemes used in the variety of heating and air conditioning system types they will encountered in the field. Maintenance technicians will also find the book useful because it describes various control hardware and control strategies that were used in the past and are prevalent in most existing heating and air conditioning systems. Designers of new systems will find the fundamentals described in this book to be a useful starting point, and they will also benefit from descriptions of new digital technologies and energy management systems. This technology is found in modern building HVAC system designs |
