From the preface: Fluid dynamics is an excellent example of how recent advances in computational tools and techniques permit the rapid advance of basic and applied science.
The 25th Anniversary Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science was held as a joint conference with the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley from June 20-22, 1988.
This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "e;Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots"e;, which was held in Maratea, Italy, during the week Apri I 28 - May 3, 1986.
Technological developments in composite materials, non-destructive testing, and signal processing as well as biomedical applications, have stimulated wide-ranging engineering investigations of heterogeneous, anisotropic media and surface waves of different types.
Non-linear behaviour of water waves has recently drawn much attention of scientists and engineers in the fields of oceanography, applied mathematics, coastal engineering, ocean engineering, naval architecture, and others.
A special survey of the extensive field of Constitutive Laws is given in 11 lectures, divided into three parts: Thermodynamics of Materials, Stochastic Processes and Material Behaviour, Constitutive Relations for Simple Fluids and Microphysics of Solids.
Qualifikation wird beim Einsatz computerisierter Betriebsmittel zwar zunehmend als betrieblicher und sozialer Schlüsselfaktor erkannt; die erforderlichen Konsequenzen wurden in der betrieblichen Praxis und in der wissenschaftlichen Pädagogik bisher aber nur sehr bedingt gezogen.
The last two decades have witnessed an intensifying effort in learning how to manage flow turbulence: it has in fact now become one of the most challenging and prized techno- logical goals in fluid dynamics.
Für den Aufbau komplexer Modelle auf dem Gebiet der Produktionssysteme ist es bedeutsam, daß die Komponenten für Fertigung, Montage und Lagerung durch ein sehr leistungsfähiges und dennoch sehr flexibles Transportsystem verbunden werden können.
In opto-electronics and microwave technology, new research results are translated into technological developments and applications at a breathtaking pace.
The present volume contains edited versions of the communications presented at an International Workshop on "e;Expert Systems in Production Engineering"e;, held in Spa, Belgium, in 1986.
The Boundary Element Method has now become a powerful tool of engineering analysis and is routinely applied for the solution of elastostatics and potential problems.
General Applications of BEM to electromagnetic problems are comparatively new although the method is ideally suited to solve these problems, which usually involve unbounded domains.
Continuing the tradition of the IUTAM Symposia TRANSSONICA, this review of the numerical simulation and physical modelling of transonic flows presents new developments in the fields of computational and experimental aerodynamics.
The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) initiated and sponsored an International Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics in Engineering Systems held in 1989 in Stuttgart, FRG.
Mit dem Vordringen EDV-gestützter, integrierter Informationssysteme kommt einer anforderungsgerechten Betriebsdatenerfassung (BDE) in allen Produktionsbereichen eine zentrale Bedeutung zu.
