Cathodic protection, when used in conjunction with protective coatings, is a common method used to protect immersed parts of steel surfaces from corrosion.
This book provides a concise discussion of fatigue crack growth (FCG) failure and lifing analysis methods for metallic aircraft structures and components.
Written to teach students the nature of transonic flow and its mathematical foundation, this book offers a much-needed introduction to transonic aerodynamics.
This book introduces the topics most relevant to autonomously flying flapping wing robots: flapping-wing design, aerodynamics, and artificial intelligence.
In determining the response of offshore structures, it is of utmost importance to determine, in the most correct manner, all factors which contribute to the total force acting on these structures.
Biotechnology offers a `natural' way of addressing environmental problems, ranging from identification of biohazards to bioremediation techniques for industrial, agricultural and municipal effluents and residues.
The use of ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnostic purposes in veteri- nary medicine and animal science has lagged far behind their use in human medicine.
The use of lubricants began in ancient times and has developed into a major international business through the need to lubricate machines of increasing complexity.
In May 1995 a meeting took place at the Manchester Metropolitan Uni- versity, UK, with the title International Workshop on Numerical Methods for Wave Propagation Phenomena.
Intracoronary ultrasound is a rapidly evolving imaging modality and the increasing number of published studies indicates that the technique is safe and provides incremental and more detailed diagnostic information than coronary angiography.
Honeycomb Technology is a guide to honeycomb cores and honeycomb sandwich panels, from the manufacturing methods by which they are produced, to the different types of design, applications for usage and methods of testing the materials.
This book Computer Modelling of Seas and Coastal Regions is the first volume of the two volume proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Modelling of Seas and Coastal Regions and Boundary Elements and Fluid Dynamics, held in Southampton, U.
The three parts of this volume - Technical Refinement; Technical Innovation; and Project Management and Risk Minimisation - reflect the areas of opportunity for improved cost effective techniques for exploration and production of oil and gas in the North Sea and worldwide.
Traditional reliance on chemical analysis to understand the direction and extent of treatment in a bioremediation process has been found to be inadequate.
"e;Field screening"e; indicates field analytical tools, and (quick) methods and strategies for on-site or in-situ environmental analysis and assessment of contamination.
It is possible to "e;stretch"e; a liquid and, when suitably prepared, liquids are capable of sustaining substantial levels of tension, often for significant periods of time.
To maintain quality in research output, providing the necessary new knowledge for our developing industries must be of prime importance to our community.
