Mechanical engineering

In order to make the subject manageable the term 'injection moulding' has been restricted in its use so that only those processes which rely on thermal softening of the polymeric materials have been described and discussed in this book.

This book contains the texts of the lectures which were givenat the Nato Advanced Study Institute on Advanced Heat Pumns which was heldat Espinho, Portugal in September 1980.

Optical measurement techniques have been stimulated in recent years by the advent of lasers and also by modern electro-optical devices.

In the field of plastics technology, the process of extrusion is widespread and important.

A couple of years ago a small group of people began discus- sing the possibility of running an advanced summer school in the area of polymer blends.

The separation of finely-divided solids from liquids constitutes an important stage in many industrial processes.

Symposia do not just happen, and those which venture on the Bureau of IUT AM.

In recent years, mathematical modelling allied to computer simulation has emerged as en effective and invaluable design tool for industry and a discipline in its own right.

Because of the sheer size of the plastics industry, the title Developments in Plastics Technology now covers an incredibly wide range of subjects or topics.

This book is, in essence, an updated and revised version of an earlier textbook, Newtonian Mechanics, written about fifteen years ago by one of us (APF) and published in 1971.

The topic of "e;structural control"e;, which had already experienced some attention through publications, for example by Roorda, Yao, Yang, Abdel-Rohman, Leipholz etc.

The safe operation of computer systems, in both their software and hardware continues to be a key issue in many real time applications, when people, environment, investment or goodwill can be at risk.

This volume, the fourth in a series which began in 1979, covers a greater variety of subjects than any previous single volume.

As ironmakers are well aware, it was only a few decades ago that the blast furnace was viewed as a strange 'black box'.

The 'fuel crises' in 1972-73 generated world wide effort for the search for an Alternative Energy source to fossil fuels.

The 'fuel crises' in 1972-73 generated world wide effort f6r the search for an Alternative Energy source to fossil fuels.

The problem of ice destruction comes most frequently to our attention in engineering glaciology and ice engineering because it is essential in the solution of many problems in the polar regions of the Earth.

This book originally appeared as a text prepared for the Defense Nuclear Agency to summarize research on dynamic pulse buckling, by the authors and their colleagues at SRI International, during the period from 1960 to 1980.

Until very recently, energy supply of the world has been treated as being nearly inexhaustible.

This book contains results of more than a decade's effort on coupled deformation and diffusion obtained in research performed at the Institute of Fracture and Solid Mechanics, Lehigh University.

Designing and manufacturing structures of all kinds in an economic and a safe way is not possible without doing experimental stress analysis.

The hardest data for managers and engineers in charge of the design and implementation of robot systems to acquire is also the most valuable: case studies detailing best current practice and the return on investment actually achieved.

Two-phase flow heat exchangers are vital components of systems for power generation, chemical processing, and thermal environment control.

This volume contains invited lectures and contributed papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Combustion and related topics, held in.

The Department of Applied Mechanics of the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (Koninklijk Instituut van Ingenieurs) organised on April 2-4, 1990 the first National Applied Mechanics Congress about the theme: "e;Integration of Theory and Applications in Applied Mechanics"e; The idea behind this initiative was to bring together the Applied Mechanics communities in The Netherlands and Belgium and to create an environment in which new developments in the field could be discussed and in which connections to other disciplines could be established.

The Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Nuclear Submarine Decommissioning and Related Problems"e; was held at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia on June 19-22, 1995.

The IUT AM Symposium on "e;Micromechanics of Plasticity and Damage of Multiphase Materials"e; was held in Sevres, Paris, France, 29 August - 1 September 1995.

The articles of this book were reported and discussed at the fifth international symposium on Advances in Robot Kinematics.

The physical modelling of metal forming processes has been widely used both in University and in Industry for many years.

Euromech 357 took place in the nice authentic monastery 'Rolduc' in Kerkrade, Holland.

Fatigue failure is a multi-stage process.

The overall aim of this book is to aid the process of sourcing and selecting appropriate thermoplastic polymers.

The basic partial differential equations for the stresses and displacements in clas- sical three dimensional elasticity theory can be set up in three ways: (1) to solve for the displacements first and then the stresses; (2) to solve for the stresses first and then the displacements; and (3) to solve for both stresses and displacements simultaneously.

Residual stresses are always introduced in materials when they are produced, or when they undergo non-uniform plastic deformation during use.

Failure of components which operate in the creep range can result either from the growth of a dominant crack or through the accumulation of 'damage' in the material.

Because of the sheer size and scope of the plastics industry, the title Developments in Plastics Technology now covers an incredibly wide range of subjects or topics.

This volume records the proceedings of an international conference organised as a tribute to the contribution made by Professor H.

On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 11th ARTS I would like to welcome all the delegates, session chairpersons and authors.

In this book the authors provide a fresh look at basic reliability and maintainability engineering techniques and management tools for ap- plication to the system maintenance planning and implementation process.

Sir Diarmuid Downs, CBE, FEng, FRS Engineering is about designing and making marketable artefacts.

The Fourth ECMI Conference on Industrial Mathematics took place at Strobl in Aus- tria, May 29-June 2, 1989.
