Pp TBA Pub: 03/12/13


Comprehensive coverage of vibration problems with general non-viscous damping

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 wide range of applications from aerospace to civil engineering. However, in the majority of practical cases this approach is adopted more for mathematical convenience than for modeling the physics of vibration damping.

Over the past decade, extensive research has been undertaken on more general "non-viscous" damping models and vibration of non-viscously damped systems. This book, along with a related book Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models: Analysis, is the first comprehensive study to cover vibration problems with general non-viscous damping. The author draws on his considerable research experience to produce a text covering: parametric sensitivity of damped systems; identification of viscous damping; identification of non-viscous damping; and some tools for the quantification of damping. The book is written from a vibration theory standpoint, with numerous worked examples which are relevant across a wide range of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering applications.

Sondipon Adhikari is Chair Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Swansea University, Wales. He is a technical reviewer of 97 international journals, 18 conferences and 13 funding bodies.He has written over 180 refereed journal papers, 120 refereed conference papers and has authored or co-authored 15 book chapters.

Introduction to Sustainable Transports

Bernard Favre

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

320 pp. Pub: 31/01/14


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

A timely, in-depth examination of sustainable transport systems against the backdrop of global environmental concerns covering noise, pollution and energy emissions.

Stirling Cycle Engines: Inner Workings and Design

Allan J. Organ

978-1-118-81843-5 / 1-118-81843-1

294 pp. Pub: 24/01/14

Mechanical Engineering - Design

Comprehensively details how to design a stirling engine, focusing on thermodynamic analysis and mechanical construction.

Internal design of a Stirling engine has come to be considered a specialist task, calling for extensive experience and for access to sophisticated computer modelling. The low parts-count of the type is negated by the complexity of the gas processes by which heat is converted to work. Design is perceived as problematic largely because those interactions are neither intuitively evident, nor capable of being made visible by laboratory experiment.

Stirling Cycle Engines re-visits the design challenge, doing so in three stages. Firstly, unrealistic expectations are dispelled: chasing the Carnot efficiency is a guarantee of disappointment, since the Stirling engine has no such pretentions. Secondly, no matter how complex the gas processes, they embody a degree of intrinsic similarity from engine to engine. Suitably exploited, this means that a single computation serves for an infinite number of design conditions. Thirdly, guidelines resulting from the new approach are condensed to high-resolution design charts -- nomograms.

Appropriately designed, the Stirling engine promises high thermal efficiency, quiet operation and the ability to operate from a wide range of heat sources. Stirling Cycle Engines offers tools for expediting feasibility studies and for easing the task of designing for a novel application.

• Highlights what the thermodynamic processes of different engines have in common.

• Design by scaling is extended, corroborated, reduced to the use of charts and is fully Illustrated.

• Worked examples feature throughout.

For researchers and practitioners in industry, graduates, and academic researchers.

Stochastic Structural Dynamics: Application of Finite Element Methods

Cho W. S. To

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

350 pp. Pub: 06/12/13

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 analysing 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.

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

• Emphasises results mainly in the time domain with limited contents in the frequency domain.

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

For post/graduates, research applied scientists, engineers, and professors.

Control systems have become more sophisticated in order to meet increased performance and safety requirements for modern technological systems. Engineers are becoming aware that conventional feedback control design for a complex system may result in unsatisfactory performance, or even instability. In order to circumvent such weaknesses, new approaches to control system design have emerged which can tolerate component malfunctions while maintaining acceptable stability and performance. These types of control systems are often known as fault-tolerant control systems (FTCS). More precisely, FTCS are control systems which possess the ability to accommodate component failure automatically.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems comprehensively covers the analysis and synthesis methods of fault tolerant control systems. It unifies the methods for developing controllers and filters for a wide class of dynamical systems and reports on the recent technical advances in design methodologies. MATLAB is used throughout the book, to demonstrate methods of analysis and design.

Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models: Analysis

Sondipon Adhikari

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

384 pp. Pub: 21/01/14


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 wide range of applications from aerospace to civil engineering. However, in the majority of practical cases this approach is adopted more for mathematical convenience than for modeling the physics of vibration damping.

Over the past decade, extensive research has been undertaken on more general "non-viscous" damping models and vibration of non-viscously damped systems. This book, along with a related book Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models: Identification, is the first comprehensive study to cover vibration problems with general non-viscous damping. The author draws on his considerable research experience to produce a text covering: dynamics of viscously damped systems; non-viscously damped single- and multi-degree of freedom systems; linear systems with non-local and non-viscous damping; reduced computational methods for damped systems; and finally a method for dealing with general asymmetric systems. The book is written from a vibration theory standpoint, with numerous worked examples which are relevant across a wide range of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering applications.

The first comprehensive text to cover vibration problems with general non-viscous damping. Covers non-viscously damped single and multi-degree of freedom systems; continuous systems with non-local and non-viscous damping; identification of non-viscous damping; computational aspects of non-proportional and non-viscous damping and sensitivity analysis.

This book is aimed at engineering graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. This book will also be highly useful for practicing mechanical, aerospace and structural design engineers concerns with noise and vibrations problems.

978-1-84821-477-4 / 1-84821-477-4

272 pp. Pub: 29/11/13

Fluid Mechanics

A fascinating examination of the extraordinary physico-chemical properties of the water molecule which has helped to regulate the global climate and to favour the evolution of species for more than 4 billion years.

The presence of water on Earth is discussed in this book using various theories about its origin as a basis. These theories include a massive degassing of the primitive parent bodies that built our planet as well as a late addition from comets that collided with the Earth's surface. The extraordinary physico-chemical properties of the water molecules, combined with its abundance and distribution over the Earth's surface, have contributed to regulating the global climate and favoring species' evolution 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 result from the energy balance between solar radiation and the internal heat flux of the Earth.

Chapter 1 of this book deals with the extraordinary physico-chemical properties of the water molecule while Chapter 2 provides insight on theories regarding the origin of water on Earth. In the third chapter, the author focuses on the chemical composition of the main water reservoirs of our planet. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss water's relationship with plate tectonics and life, respectively. The sixth and final chapter uses stable isotope tracking to look into the water cycle and past climates.

For scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers interested in this subject area.

• The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal importance in a multitude of ways in the domain of microelectronics. For example, adequate adhesion of thin films is sine qua non in integrated circuits; adhesion of polymeric and other materials is a must in devices; and adhesion of various materials is crucial in fabricating printed circuit boards.

• Although there has been a high tempo of R&D activity the information is scattered in a number of publication medias. Up to now, there has been no single easily accessible source where one can find the requisite information.

For materials scientists and electronics engineers involved or interested in understanding and achieving the required level of adhesion in the overall microelectronics industry. Also for R&D and Manufacturing personnel in other industries, e.g., packaging, thin film technology, metallised plastics, encapsulation, printed circuit boards, and Major microelectronics companies, e.g., IBM, Texas Instruments, Motorola, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Apple.

Corrosion

The causes and results of corrosion in industrial settings are some of the most important and difficult problems that engineers and scientists face on a daily basis. Coming up with solutions, or not, is often the difference between success and failure, and can have severe consequences. This timely volume covers the state-of-the art in corrosion engineering today, for use in industrial applications and as a textbook.

• The theory of corrosion is given with a broad definition of corrosion, including factors affecting the corrosion processes and the types of corrosion, based on corrosion mechanisms and the media along with characteristics of metal alloys that are commonly used and liable to corrosion.

• The nature of protective metal oxide films are explained along with aggressive chemical anions that disintegrate these metal oxide films.

• Corrosion prevention methods in engineering sciences such as cathodic protection are discussed with a focus on steel and concrete structures that relate to mostly civil and petroleum engineering.

Corrosion scientists, chemists and chemical engineers, material scientists, civil engineers, petroleum engineers, metallurgical engineers, mechanical engineers, mining engineers, agricultural engineers, and electronic engineers may benefit from the content within this book.

Dr. Volkan Cicek is a chemist and corrosion scientist and received his B. Sc. in Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey and his PhD from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, US. After working as a dean of academics and vice principal in US public schools for several years Dr. Cicek currently works as the vice president for scientific affairs at Ishik University, Erbil, Iraq.

Corrosion

Multi-mechanism models describe the mechanical effects of metals, polymers, and geomaterials in addition to their function in developing constitutive equations. This text explains how multi-mechanism models represent monotonic and cyclic mechanical behaviors and deformation mechanisms with material parameters and internal variables. With a phenomenological focus, the book thoroughly describes the principles of plasticity, damage, creep behavior, creep plasticity interaction, and cyclic responses under proportional and non-proportional loading paths for isotropic and anisotropic materials. Various applications of the extensive experimental data qualify this book as a valued reference tool for students, material mechanics researchers, and mechanical engineers.

For undergraduate and graduate students, researcher in the domain of mechanics of materials, and mechanical engineers.

Materials and Structures under Shock and Impact

Patrice Bailly

320 pp. Pub: 29/11/13

Metals & Alloys

In risk studies, engineers often have to consider the consequences of an accident leading to a shock on a construction. This can concern the impact of a ground vehicle or aircraft, or the effects of an explosion on an industrial site.

This book presents a didactic approach starting with the theoretical elements of the mechanics of materials and structures, in order to develop their applications in the cases of shocks and impacts. The latter are studied on a local scale at first. They lead to stresses and strains in the form of waves propagating through the material, this movement then extending to the whole of the structure.

The first part of the book is devoted to the study of solid dynamics where nonlinear behaviors come into play. The second part covers structural dynamics and the evaluation of the transient response introduced at the global scale of a construction. Practical methods, simplified methods and methods that are in current use by engineers are also proposed throughout the book.

The aim of this book is to present theoretical elements regarding solids and structures, as well as modeling tools in order to study the vulnerability of a structure to a short duration action, generally of accidental nature. The book takes the point of view of an engineer seeking for the modeling of the physics at stake to relevantly carry out his study. The book’s originality is that it gathers elements from various fields of engineering sciences, for the purpose of a practical objective.

Presents theoretical elements regarding solids and structures, including modeling tools.

Takes the viewpoint of an Engineer seeking for the modeling of the physics at stake to relevantly carry out study.

For engineers who consider the resistance of constructions or structures to accidental actions (safety reports, classified facilities, etc.) as well as engineering school and master students.

A thorough review of coupling between plasticity, crack priming, and thermal dissipation.

Is there a fatigue limit in metals? This question is the main focus of this book. Written by a leading researcher in the field, Claude Bathias presents a thorough and authoritative examination of the coupling between plasticity, crack initiation and heat dissipation for lifetimes that exceed the billion cycle, leading us to question the concept of the fatigue limit, both theoretically and technologically.

This new, up-to-date text supplements the book Fatigue of Materials and Structures, which had been previously published by ISTE and John Wiley in 2011.

Contents:

• 1. Introduction on Very High Cycle Fatigue.

• 2. Plasticity and Initiation in Gigacycle Fatigue.

• 3. Heating Dissipation in the Gigacycle Regime.

For scientists, researchers and industrial engineers interested in this subject area.

Claude Bathias is Emeritus Professor at the University of Paris 10-La Defense in France. He started his career as a research engineer in the aerospace and military industry where he remained for 20 years before becoming director of the CNRS laboratory ERA 914 at the University of Compiègne in France. He has launched two international conferences about fatigue: International Conference on the Fatigue of Composite Materials (ICFC) and Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF).
