New adaptive and event-triggered control designs with concrete applications in undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevatorsControl applications in undersea construction, cable elevators, and offshore drilling present major methodological challenges because they involve PDE systems (cables and drillstrings) of time-varying length, coupled with ODE systems (the attached loads or tools) that usually have unknown parameters and unmeasured states.
Since the low energy efficiency and rise in emissions by using fossil fuels, the hydrogen economy has been considered as a unique approach to resolve these problems, making hydrogen an attractive fuel.
The Second Symposium on Numerical and Physical Aspects of Aerodynamic Flows was held at California State University, Long Beach, from 17 to 20 January 1983.
Tay provides a comprehensive description of the state of the art for recent conceptual designs on the integration of wave energy convertor (WEC) systems with floating structures in tropical seas, discusses the unique environmental challenges, and provides a guide for readers to develop WECs that are optimised for both wave patterns and the structures to which they are attached.
Digitale Transformation, globale Krisen und politische Veränderungen sind nur einige der Treiber, die Organisationen dazu zwingen flexibler, anpassungsfähiger und innovativer zu werden.
The aim of this book is to give a self-contained introduction to the mathe- matical analysis and physical explanations of some basic nonlinear wave phe- nomena.
This volumecollects various contributions from the 5th International Conferenceon Jets, Wakes and Separated Flows (ICJWSF2015) that took place in Stockholmduring June 2015.
Introducing a Reliable Green Technology That Can Help Improve System PerformanceSolely centered on photovoltaic (PV) system sizing and the tools used for PV system analysis and design, Photovoltaic System Design: Procedures, Tools and Applications emphasizes the importance of using solar PV technologies for a number of end-use applications, and examines growing interest in solar PV-based projects on a global scale.
To meet changing market demands that have stringent emission standards and to ensure proper performance in refinery units, evaluation of novel catalyst designs and results from material characterization and testing of catalysts are of crucial importance for refiners as well as for catalyst manufacturers.
Advances in new equipment, new processes, and new technology are the driving forces in improvements in energy management, energy efficiency and energy cost control.
This work marks a stage in the evolution of a scientific and technical field which has been developed by the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA) over several decades.

The key teaching on sound consciousness in the Vedic tradition, given by Shiva over 2,200 years ago after his iconic dance of destruction and creation.
The Symposium, held in Torino (lSI, Villa Gualino) July 1-5, 1991 is the sixth of a series of IUTAM-Symposia on the application of stochastic analysis to continuum and discrete mechanics.
This book contains 31 papers presented at the symposium on "e;Recent Advances in Composite Materials"e; which was organized in honor of Professor Stephanos A.
Elektromagnetismus und Gravitation scheinen zwei vollkommen unterschiedliche Wechselwirkungen zu sein: Während elektromagnetische Wechselwirkungen durch Felder beschrieben werden, soll die Gravitation durch eine Krümmung der Raumzeit vermittelt werden.
Control of Noise and Structural Vibration presents a MATLAB(R)-based approach to solving the problems of undesirable noise generation and transmission by structures and of undesirable vibration within structures in response to environmental or operational forces.
This is an intermediate book for beginning postgraduate students and junior researchers, and offers up-to-date content on both continuum mechanics and elasticity.
This book discusses in detail the special theory of relativity without including all the instruments of theoretical physics, enabling readers who are not budding theoretical physicists to develop competence in the field.
Conventional ultrasonic methods based on ultrasonic characteristics in the linear elastic region are mainly sensitive to mature defects but are much less responsive to micro-damage or incipient material degradation.
This book is a concise primer on galactic radio astronomy for undergraduate and graduate students, and provides wide coverage of galactic astronomy and astrophysics such as the physics of interstellar matter and the dynamics and structure of the Milky Way Galaxy and galaxies.
Economic literature is often too theoretical for engineers and policymakers to put into practical use, while scientific literature on the remediation of contaminated aquifers rarely considers costs and benefits.
Mathematical problems concerning time evolution of solutions related to nonlinear systems modelling dynamics of continuous media are of great interest both in wave propagation and in stability problems.
This special issue collects selected contributions (excluding general lectures) of a Symposium on "e;Micro to MACRO Mathematical Modelling in Soil Mechanics"e;, which took place at the University of Reggio Calabria, Italy, from May 29th to June 1st, 2018.
Modern Computational Techniques for Engineering Applications presents recent computational techniques used in the advancement of modern grids with the integration of non-conventional energy sources like wind and solar energy.
