Bøger i Springer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering serien

The book presents a series of concise papers by researchers specialized in various fields of continuum and computational mechanics and of material science.

Thanks to the emphasis put on analytical methods and numerical results, the book is meant to make students and engineers familiar with all fundamental equations and their derivation, thus stimulating them to write interactive and dynamic programs to analyze instability and vibrational modes.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage on robot fish including design, modeling and optimization, control, autonomous control and applications. Moreover, the book discusses various important issues for future research and development, including design methodology, control methodology, and autonomous control strategy.

The book describes in detail electromechanical equipment of PAT systems, their installation and operation, and gives important practical insight into the use of PAT in water transmission and distribution systems, as part of thermal power plants and cooling systems, in oil distribution systems and other systems as well.

The finite element (FE) method is one such widely used numerical method. Finite Element Applications begins with demystifying the 'black box' of finite element solvers and progresses to addressing the different pillars that make up a robust finite element solution framework.

This book presents recent progress in the application of RANS turbulence models based on the Reynolds stress transport equations.

This book provides in-depth theoretical and practical information on recent advances in micro-manufacturing technologies and processes, covering such topics as micro-injection moulding, micro-cutting, micro-EDM, micro-assembly, micro-additive manufacturing, moulded interconnected devices, and microscale metrology.

This book reports on a novel approach for generating mechanical energy from different, external heat sources using the body of a typical piston engine with valves.

This book provides a brief introduction to the theory of finitedimensional differential inclusions, and deals in depth with control of threekinds of differential inclusion systems.

The book presents a series of concise papers by researchers specialized in various fields of continuum and computational mechanics and of material science.

The book describes the implementation of different methods, including artificial neural networks, the Matrix Method, the Monte Carlo method and the virtual CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), and demonstrates how these methods can be effectively used in practice to gauge the accuracy of coordinate measurements.
