Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Technology and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes

Egbert Torenbeek

978-1-118-56811-8 / 1-118-56811-7

440 pp. Pub: 21/06/13


Safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have improved in jetliners considerably since the 1950’s. Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is not yet widespread.

This book presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered. This approach enables designers to compare the results of high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods which need far less computational effort. Another advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers to "what if" questions rapidly and with little computational cost.

• Presents a new fundamental vision on conceptual airplane design optimization

• Provides an overview of advanced technologies for propulsion and reducing aerodynamic drag

• Offers insight into the derivation of design sensitivity information

Introduction to Sustainable Transports

Bernard Favre

978-1-84821-545-0 / 1-84821-545-2

320 pp. Pub: 03/02/14


Transport systems have to meet the mobility needs of people and commodities on all scales, from the local to the global level. Concern about the energy, fumes and sound emissions produced, and about the safety, service quality, intelligence, and lifecycle of the systems can all be included in a systemic approach. This approach contributes to the development of sustainable solutions, for vehicles as well as for transport systems. Derived from an approach combining social and physical sciences, these solutions result from the integration of physical objects, services and organization processes, which involve several actors. Their harmonious organization contributes to the development of more virtuous transport systems for the future of urban and interurban mobility.

This title takes a systematic approach to examining how matters of energy, gas, and sound emissions, safety, service quality, intelligence, and lifecycle can exist harmoniously with society’s local and global transport needs. Addressing a central topic in sustainable development, the book suggests ecological solutions for vehicle and transport improvements that integrate physical objects, services, and organization processes. Such collaboration fosters an enhanced transport system that looks to the future of urban and interurban mobility.

Motors & Drivers

Drivers of motorized two-wheeled vehicles are considered as the most vulnerable road users. Indeed, the number of motorbike accidents has been constantly increasing over the last few years. In addition, according to the most recent statistics, despite the preventive and repressive measures recently implemented, the number of casualties among motorcyclists has not decreased, even while there has been a marked progress among car drivers. This book discusses the topic of driving simulation for motorbike drivers, providing techniques and approaches that will help users drive safely and avoid accidents and collisions.

Passive and active safety systems (ABS, ESP, safety belts, airbags) represent a major advance in terms of safety in motoring. They are being increasingly developed and installed in cars and are beginning to be installed in two-wheeled vehicles. The authors present a state of the art on safety systems and assistance to driving and their two-wheeled counterparts. The aim is to point out the differences of perspectives between motor vehicles and motorcycles to identifty relevant indicators to help in choosing the mechanical architecture of the motorcycle simulator and appropriate controls.

Fluid Mechanics

The presence of water on Earth is discussed on the basis of the various theories about its origin such as a massive degassing of the primitive parent bodies that built our planet as well as a late addition from comets that collided with its surface. The extraordinary physico-chemical properties of the water molecule combined to its abundance and repartition at Earth’s surface have contributed to regulate the global climate and to favour the evolution of species for more than 4 billion years. The early emergence of life in the deep ocean and its further diversification were closely linked to the global water cycle whose dynamics results from the energy balance between the solar radiation and the internal heat flux of the Earth.

Turbulent Multiphase Flows with Heat and Mass Transfer

Fabien Anselmet, Roland Borghi

978-1-84821-617-4 / 1-84821-617-3

400 pp. Pub: 17/12/13

Fluid Mechanics

Numerous industrial systems or natural environments involve multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer, with more than a tenth of direct application fields. The book presents physical modelling of these flows, in a unified way, which can include various physical aspects and several levels of complexity. Thermal engineering and nuclear reactors ; Extraction and transport of petroleum products ; Diesel engines and rocket engines ; Chemical engineering reactors and fluidized beds; Smoke or aerosol dispersion; Landslides and avalanches. Modelling multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer for all of these situations can be developed following a common methodology. The book is devoted to the way to incorporate the adequate physical ingredients in agreement to known experimental facts and make the model evolve according to the required complexity.

The first part of the book will be devoted to the definition and description of the basic approach, which can simply be presented as the generalization of several phases of the usual approach of continuum mechanics in fluid thermomecanics in turbulent flows. The second part will first discuss the modeling principles of the effect of irrerversible processes, which occur in the flows. In the third part, we will take a more detailed look at flows and and granular media. The fourth part will focus on improving the representation of all these media by adding the possibility of better knowing fluctuations around averages.

Engineers who must perform predictions on multiphase flows, in the various application domains listed previously. And also researchers working on these domains. It can also be argued that scientists who are not specialized in any of these domains but are likely to use general commercial CFD codes which are not especially devoted to simulating one multiphase flows but incorporate features for that purpose could gain useful physical insights reading the book.

Roland Borghi and Fabien Anselmet are Professor Emeritus and Professor at Ecole Centrale Marseille, France.

978-1-84821-589-4 / 1-84821-589-4

224 pp. Pub: 04/12/13

Industrial Engineering / Quality Control

This book focuses on two significant problems in automatic control: state estimation and robust model predictive control under input and state constraints, and bounded perturbations and noise, based on a zonotopic set-membership approach. Firstly, the authors propose a P-radius-based set-membership estimation method to compute a zonotope containing the real states of a system, which are consistent with the disturbances and measurement noise. Secondly, they deal with the problem of output feedback control. Among the approaches from the literature, the implementation of robust predictive techniques based on trajectory tubes is developed. The zonotopic set-membership estimation improves the quality of the estimation, as well as the performance of the control, for systems subject to unknown, but bounded, disturbances and measurement noise.

Researchers working in Automatic Control (estimation community, predictive control community) including PhD students, industrial partners interested in applying the proposed techniques on real systems. MSc level students, BSc level students.

Metaheuristic Optimization for the Design of Automatic Control Laws

Guillaume Sandou

978-1-84821-590-0 / 1-84821-590-8

144 pp. Pub: 20/09/13

Industrial Engineering / Quality Control

The classical approach in automatic control relies on the use of simplified models of the systems and reformulations of the specifications. However, this approach fails when the system is too complex to sufficiently simplify its model, when the designer has a large number of constraints to take into account, or when the goal is to both design then optimize it. This book presents the new trend of utilizing metaheuristic algorithms (such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization) for working with automatic control.

978-1-84821-492-7 / 1-84821-492-8

400 pp. Pub: 20/08/13

Industrial Engineering Special Topics

An overview of the methods used for risk analysis in a variety of industrial sectors, with a particular focus on the consideration of human aspects, this book provides a definition of all the fundamental notions associated with risks and risk management, as well as clearly placing the discipline of risk analysis within the broader context of risk management processes.

The author begins by presenting a certain number of basic concepts, followed by the general principle of risk analysis. He then moves on to examine the ISO31000 standard, which provides a specification for the implementation of a risk management approach. The ability to represent the information we use is crucial, so the representation of knowledge, covering both information concerning the risk occurrence mechanism and details of the system under scrutiny, is also considered. The different analysis methods are then presented, firstly for the identification of risks, then for their analysis in terms of cause and effect, and finally for the implementation of safety measures. Concrete examples are given throughout the book and the methodology and method can be applied to various fields (industry, health, organization, technical systems).

Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models

Sondipon Adhikari

978-1-84821-521-4 / 1-84821-521-5

352 pp. Pub: 04/10/13

Mechanical Engineering - Design

Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous damping in his classic work The Theory of Sound in 1877, it has become standard practice to use this approach in dynamics, covering a huge range of applications from aerospace to civil engineering.

However, in the majority of practical cases this approach is adopted more for mathematical convenience than modeling the physics of vibration damping. Over the past decade extensive research has been carried out on more general "non-viscous" damping models and the vibration of non-viscously damped systems. This book is the first comprehensive text to cover vibration problems with general nonviscous damping. The author has drawn on his considerable research experience to produce a volume covering: non-viscously damped single and multi-degree of freedom systems; continuous systems with nonlocal and non-viscous damping; identification of non-viscous damping; computational aspects of non-proportional and non-viscous damping and sensitivity analysis. The text is written from a vibration theory standpoint, with numerous worked examples relevant across a wide range of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering applications.

This book aims to give engineering graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers a detailed understanding of the methods of analysis necessary for complex structural systems with more general non viscous damping models.

This book gives science and engineering graduates and researchers a detailed understanding of the methods of non-local analysis necessary for nanoscale structures.

The conventional local elasticity theory has underpinned the majority of applications of continuum mechanics in applied science and engineering since its inception in the early 19th Century. The application of the local elasticity theory in the context of nanoscale objects has been repeatedly questioned in various research articles over the past decade. Non-local elasticity theory, pioneered from the 1970s, is a scale-dependent theory and is considered to be more suitable for analyzing nanoscale objects such as carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets.

This book is the first comprehensive text to cover non-local elasticity theory for static, dynamic and stability analysis of wide-ranging nanostructures. The authors draw on their considerable research experience in this field. The text will be written from a mechanics standpoint, with numerous worked examples relevant across a wide range of nanomechanical systems.

Under-graduate and post-graduate students and academic researchers in applied physics, chemistry, mechanical and aerospace engineering. This book will also be highly useful for practicing engineers working in NEMS, MEMS and sensor problems.

Control of Cutting Vibration and Machining Instability: A Time-Frequency Approach for Precision, Micro and Nano Machining

C. Steve Suh, Meng-Kun Liu

978-1-118-37182-4 / 1-118-37182-8

248 pp. Pub: 13/09/13


Machining instability is a topical area, and there are a wide range of publications that cover the topic. However, many of these previous studies have started by assuming that the behavior of the system can be linearised. Meanwhile, there are many recent advances in the fields of signal processing, nonlinear dynamics, and nonlinear control, all of which are relevant to the machining stability problem. This book establishes the fundamentals of cutting mechanics and machine tool dynamics in the simultaneous time-frequency domain. The new nonlinear control theory developed by the authors that facilitates simultaneous control of vibration amplitude in the time-domain and spectral response in the frequency-domain provides the foundation for the development of a controller architecture universally viable for the control of dynamic instability including bifurcation and chaos. Once parameters underlying the coupling, interaction, and evolution of different cutting states and between the tool and workpiece are established, they can then be incorporated into the architecture to create a control methodology that mitigate machining instability and enable robust, chatter-free machine tool design applicable in particular to high speed micro- and nano-machining.

• Provides a clear and concise approach to the understanding and control of machine tool and workpiece vibrations from an alternative view, contributing to an in-depth understanding of cutting dynamics and robust control of machining instability

Stochastic Structural Dynamics: Application of Finite Element Methods

Cho W. S. To

978-1-118-34235-0 / 1-118-34235-6

352 pp. Pub: 29/11/13

Numerical Methods

One of the first books to provide in-depth and systematic application of finite element methods to the field of stochastic structural dynamics.

The parallel developments of the Finite Element Methods in the 1950's and the engineering applications of stochastic processes in the 1940's provided a combined numerical analysis tool for the studies of dynamics of structures and structural systems under random loadings. In the open literature, there are books on statistical dynamics of structures and books on structural dynamics with chapters dealing with random response analysis. However, a systematic treatment of stochastic structural dynamics applying the finite element methods seems to be lacking. Aimed at advanced and specialist levels, the author presents and illustrates direct integration methods for analyzing the statistics of the response of structures to stochastic loads. The analysis methods are based on structural models represented via the Finite Element Method. In addition to stationary linear problems the text also addresses non-stationary excitation and systems with spatially stochastic property variations.

• A systematic treatment of stochastic structural dynamics applying the finite element methods

• Highly illustrated throughout and aimed at advanced and specialist levels, it focuses on computational aspects instead of theory

• Emphasizes results mainly in the time domain with limited contents in the frequency domain

• Presents and illustrates direct integration methods for analyzing the statistics of the response of structures to stochastic loads.

Method of Moments for the Scattering from 2D Problems: Basic Concepts and Applications

Christophe Bourlier, Nicolas Pinel

978-1-84821-472-9 / 1-84821-472-3

160 pp. Pub: 20/08/13


Electromagnetic wave scattering from randomly rough surfaces in the presence of scatterers is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields such as optics, acoustics, geoscience and remote sensing.

In this book, the Method of Moments (MoM) is applied to compute the field scattered by scatterers such as canonical objects (cylinder or plate) or a randomly rough surface, and also by an object above or below a random rough surface. Since the problem is considered to be 2D, the integral equations (IEs) are scalar and only the TE (transverse electric) and TM (transverse magnetic) polarizations are addressed (no cross-polarizations occur). In Chapter 1, the MoM is applied to convert the IEs into a linear system, while Chapter 2 compares the MoM with the exact solution of the field scattered by a cylinder in free space, and with the Physical Optics (PO) approximation for the scattering from a plate in free space. Chapter 3 presents numerical results, obtained from the MoM, of the coherent and incoherent intensities scattered by a random rough surface and an object below a random rough surface. The final chapter presents the same results as in Chapter 3, but for an object above a random rough surface. In these last two chapters, the coupling between the two scatterers is also studied in detail by inverting the impedance matrix by blocks.

Christophe Bourlier works at the IETR (Institut d’Electronique et de Télécommunications de Rennes) laboratory at Polytech Nantes (University of Nantes, France) as well as being a Researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) on electromagnetic wave scattering from rough surfaces and objects for remote sensing applications and radar signatures.

Modeling and Optimization of Air Traffic

Daniel Delahaye, Stephane Puechmorel

978-1-84821-595-5 / 1-84821-595-9

352 pp. Pub: 01/08/13


This book combines the research activities of the authors, both of whom are researchers at Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (French National School of Civil Aviation), and presents their findings from the last 15 years. Their work uses air transport as its focal point, within the realm of mathematical optimization, looking at real life problems and theoretical models in tandem, and the challenges that accompany studying both approaches.

The authors' research is linked with the attempt to reduce air space congestion in Western Europe, USA and, increasingly, Asia. They do this through studying stochastic optimization (particularly artificial evolution), the sectorization of airspace, route distribution and takeoff slots, and by modeling airspace congestion. Finally, the authors discuss their short, medium and long term research goals. They hope that their work, although related to air transport, will be applied to other fields, such is the transferable nature of mathematical optimization. At the same time, they intend to use other areas of research, such as approximation and statistics to complement their continued inquiry in their own field.

The topic of this book is proportionate-type normalized least mean squares (PtNLMS) adaptive filtering algorithms, which attempt to estimate an unknown impulse response by adaptively giving gains proportionate to an estimate of the impulse response and the current measured error. These algorithms offer low computational complexity and fast convergence times for sparse impulse responses in network and acoustic echo cancellation applications. New PtNLMS algorithms are developed by choosing gains that optimize user-defined criteria, such as mean square error, at all times. PtNLMS algorithms are extended from real-valued signals to complex-valued signals. The computational complexity of the presented algorithms is examined.

Spatial and Spatio-temporal Data Analysis

Jean Dube, Diego Legros

978-1-84821-468-2 / 1-84821-468-5

192 pp. Pub: 04/04/14


This book provides an introduction to spatial analyses concerning disaggregated (or micro) spatial data.

Particular emphasis is put on spatial data compilation and the structuring of the connections between the observations. Descriptive analysis methods of spatial data are presented in order to identify and measure the spatial, global and local dependency.

The authors then focus on autoregressive spatial models, to control the problem of spatial dependency between the residues of a basic linear statistical model, thereby contravening one of the basic hypotheses of the ordinary least squares approach.

This book is a popularized reference for students looking to work with spatialized data, but who do not have the advanced statistical theoretical basics.

Briefly presenting different methods from well-established to more recent, Co-Clustering considers a number of different approaches and addresses the difficulty of these classical methods to tackle the high dimensionality, the sparsity, and the scalability that leads to co-clustering. In this text for scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers, co-clustering or biclustering is presented as simultaneous clustering, as a model-based co-clustering, as an approximation of matrix, and as the research of coherent co-clusters in biological terms or the extraction of co-clusters under conditions.

Algorithms and Ordering Heuristics for Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Mohamed Wahbi

978-1-84821-594-8 / 1-84821-594-0

176 pp. Pub: 08/07/13


DisCSP (Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem) is a general framework for solving distributed problems arising in Distributed Artificial Intelligence.

A wide variety of problems in artificial intelligence are solved using the constraint satisfaction problem paradigm. However, there are several applications in multi-agent coordination that are of a distributed nature. In this type of application, the knowledge about the problem, that is, variables and constraints, may be logically or geographically distributed among physical distributed agents. This distribution is mainly due to privacy and/or security requirements. Therefore, a distributed model allowing a decentralized solving process is more adequate to model and solve such kinds of problem. The distributed constraint satisfaction problem has such properties.

Practitioners and post-graduate students.

Mohamed Wahbi is currently an associate lecturer at Ecole des Mines de Nantes in France. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science from University Montpellier 2, France and Mohammed V University-Agdal, Morocco in 2012 and his research focused on Distributed Constraint Reasoning.

This book is especially suited for people both in research and industry who are interested in the modeling and numerical simulation of discrete mechanical systems with friction and impact phenomena occurring in presence of classical (linear elastic) or non-classical constitutive laws (delay, memory effects, etc.).

Such systems can be found in various fields of technical application in mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc.; as contacts between wheels and ground in vehicle dynamics, devices in motors, machines, simplified models of buildings with non-smooth constitutive laws, walking machines, limit stops and friction in arbitrary kind of mechanisms or contacts.

The book intends to close the gap between highly specialized mathematical literature and engineering application, and to also give tools in the framework of non- smooth stochastic differential systems: so applications involving stochastic excitations (seisms, road surface, wind models etc.) are concerned.

Many other fields of research (physics, materials, electronics, etc.) could be interested to model some phenomena (for example hysteretic ones) by using the mathematical tools provided by this book.

Computer Hardware

Embedded systems are everywhere in contemporary life and are supposed to make our lives more comfortable. In industry, embedded systems are used to manage and control complex systems (e.g. nuclear power plants, telecommunications and flight control) and they are also taking an important place in our daily activities (e.g. smartphones, security alarms and traffic lights).

In the design of embedded systems, memory allocation and data assignment are among the main challenges that electronic designers have to face. In fact, they impact heavily on the main cost metrics (power consumption, performance and area) in electronic devices. Thus designers of embedded systems have to pay careful attention in order to minimize memory requirements, consequently improving memory throughput and limiting the power consumption by the system's memory. Electronic designers attempt to minimize memory requirements with the aim of lowering the overall system costs.

A state of the art of optimization techniques for memory management and data assignment is presented in this book.

Fields in which the methodology can be applied are widespread, including various branches of engineering, heat transfer and statistical mechanics, reliability assessment and also financial investments or economical prognosis in analytical and computational contexts.

The Stochastic Perturbation Method for Computational Mechanics is devoted to the theoretical aspects and computational implementation of the generalized stochastic perturbation technique. It is based on any order Taylor expansions of random variables and enables for determination of up to fourth order probabilistic moments and characteristics of the physical system response.

• Provides a grounding in the basic elements of statistics and probability and reliability engineering.

• Describes the Stochastic Finite, Boundary Element and Finite Difference Methods, formulated according to the perturbation method.

• Demonstrates dual computational implementation of the perturbation method with the use of Direct Differentiation Method and the Response Function Method.

Intelligent Non-hierarchical Manufacturing Networks

Industrial Engineering

This book provides the latest models, methods and guidelines for networked enterprises to enhance their competitiveness and move towards innovative high performance and agile industrial systems.

In the new global market, competitiveness and economic growth rely greatly on the move toward innovative high performance industrial systems and agile networked enterprises through the creation and consolidation of non-hierarchical manufacturing networks of multi-national SMEs as opposed to networks based on powerful large-scale companies. Network performance can be significantly improved through more harmonious and equitable peer-to-peer inter-enterprise relationships, conforming decentralized and collaborative decision-making models.

Traditional hierarchical manufacturing networks are based on centralized models, where some of the actors involved must adapt themselves to the constraints defined by those who are most dominant. Real-world experiences of such models have revealed some major problems due to the centralized vision of the supply chain and the sub-optimal performance of centralized decision-making. For the current highly dynamic markets, this generates major inefficiencies in operation throughout the supply chain.

This book collects the latest research regarding non-hierarchical manufacturing networks and provides enterprises with valuable models, methods and guidelines to improve their competitiveness.

272 pp. Pub: 03/18/13

Solid Mechanics

Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics based on the nonlinear dynamics analysis.

Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system is critically impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable for properly characterising grazing bifurcation. The authors establish vibro-impact dynamics as a subset of the theory of discontinuous systems, thus enabling all vibro-impact systems to be explored and characterised for applications.

Vibro-impact Dynamics presents an original theoretical way of analysing the behavior of vibro-impact dynamics that can be extended to discontinuous dynamics. All topics are logically integrated to allow for vibro-impact dynamics, the central theme, to be presented. It provides a unified treatment on the topic with a sound theoretical base that is applicable to both continuous and discrete systems.

• Presents mapping dynamics to determine bifurcation and chaos in vibro-impact systems.

• Offers two simple vibro-impact systems with comprehensive physical interpretation of complex motions.

• Uses the theory for discontinuous dynamical systems on time-varying domains, to investigate the Fermi-oscillator.

Reconstructing Project Management

Peter W. G. Morris

978-0-470-65907-6 / 0-470-65907-6

344 pp. Pub: 12/04/13

Project Management

A hugely informative analysis and wide-ranging commentary on the management of projects, designed for practitioners and scholars, building lessons from the book's history of the discipline's development, offering extensive commentary on its practices and theoretical underpinnings, and concluding with proposals to improve its value and relevancy.

The book is designed to offer a thoughtful commentary on project management as it has been practiced and taught over the last 60 or more years, and as it may be over the next 20 to 40, drawing on examples from several industry sectors. Its thesis is that ‘it all depends on how you define the subject’ -- that much of our present thinking about PM as traditionally defined is boring, sometimes conceptually weak or even flawed, and/or of limited application, whereas in reality what it can offer is exciting, challenging and potentially enormously useful. The book explores this hypothesis drawing on leading scholarship and practitioner perceptions.

Section 1 sets the scene -- the purpose and context of the book. Section 2 covers the origins of modern project management and the limitations of the traditional project management model. Section 3 dissects many of the challenges still facing project management, in doing so it examines many of the more difficult, interesting and intractable issues in the discipline today. Section 4 focuses on opportunities open to the discipline in the (increasingly challenging) years ahead.

• Precise, considered and reflective.

• Grounded in research but speaks to both academics and practitioners.

• A seminal work from project management's pre-eminent academic.

Project management academics. Thoughtful practitioners. Postgraduate students world-wide.
