by Professor Pat McKeown Cranfield Precision Engineering, UK Member of Joint Organising Committee IPES6/UME2 PROGRESS IN PRECISION ENGINEERING Metal working companies in tool making, prototype manu- facture and subcontract machining often use the label "e;precision engineering"e; to indicate that they are accustomed to working to finer tolerances than is normally expected in series production.
This volume contains the proceedings of the third in a series of biennial NEC Symposia on Fundamental Approaches to New Material Phases sponsored by the NEC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.
These proceedings contain the texts of 37 contributions presented at the International Conference on Engineering Optimization in an Industrial Environment, which took place on 3 - 4 September 1990 at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Hesearch Center, I~H Germany.
This book investigates the various aspects of shape optimization of two- dimensional continuum structures, including shape design sensitivity analysis, structural analysis using the boundary element method (BEM), and shape optimization implementation.
The emergence of civil aviation as a means of mass transportation is primarily due to the large- scale construction of jet airplanes in the past 30 years or so.
Modem materials science is exploiting novel tools of solid-state physics and chemistry to obtain an unprecedented understanding of the structure of matter at the atomic level.
This volume contains the lectures presented at the mini-symposium on "e;Micromechanics"e; held in conjunction with the CSME Mechanical Engineer- ing Forum 1990 between the 3rd and 8th June, 1990 at the University of Toronto, Canada.
Der Einsatz von flexibel automatisierten Fertigungskonzepten in den Produktionsbereichen der Unternehmen des Maschinenbaus hat sich in den letzten Jahren durchgesetzt.
This book is a collection of the addresses of the keynote speakers and invited lecturers as well as manuscripts of a few outstanding papers which were delivered at the First Pacific Polymer Conference organized by the Pacific Polymer Federation in Maui, Hawaii, 12-15 December, 1989.
IUTAM-IAHR Symposium on Ice-Structure Interaction Professor Bez Tabarrok, Chairman of the Canadian National Committee (CNC) of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) invited Professor Derek Muggeridge to organize a symposium on ice structure interaction.
Engineering structures for reliable function and safety have to be designed such that operational mechanical loads are compensated for by stresses in the components bearable by the materials used.
Structural safety of industrial systems and components raises a steadily growing public, scientific and engineering interest, and causes permanent development of methods and techniques used for its assessment.
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in copper- based oxides is an event of major importance not only with respect to the physical phenomenon itself but also because it definitely shows that solid state chemistry, and especially the crystal chemistry of oxides, has a crucial place in the synthesis and understanding of new materials for future appli- cations.
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Entwicklung von Prüfverfahren, mit denen Komponenten von Versorgungssystemen hinsichtlich ihres Kontaminationsverhaltens beurteilt und enthaltene Partikelquellen ergründet werden können.
