Inequalities based on Sobolev Representations deals exclusively with very general tight integral inequalities of Chebyshev-Gruss, Ostrowski types and of integral means, all of which depend upon the Sobolev integral representations of functions.
It appears that we live in an age of disasters: the mighty Missis- sippi and Missouri flood millions of acres, earthquakes hit Tokyo and California, airplanes crash due to mechanical failure and the seemingly ever increasing wind speeds make the storms more and more frightening.
The intent of this book is threefold: (1) to summarize recent research concerned with residential crowding, (2) to present some new perspec- tives on this important subject, and (3) to consider design implications and recommendations that can be derived from the existing body of research.
In 1984, Nam Sub, who was then the Assistant Director for Engineering at the National Science Foundation (NSF), created the Design Theory and Methodology Program.
Recent advancements in Lyapunov-based design and analysis techniques have applications to a broad class of engineering systems, including mechanical, electrical, robotic, aerospace, and underactuated systems.
The medium through which training in the workplace is delivered has been changing in recent years to offer a more personalized and immersive experience.
Environmental Ergonomics: Principles, Methods, and Applications provides the philosophy, principles and application of environmental ergonomics as a universal concept and considers total environments as an integration of environmental factors to which people are exposed.
Collaborative manufacturing and management are a fundamental requirement in today's digital age, to enable an innovative and sustainable development of companies.
Presenting an integrated and holistic perspective on innovation management and product design and development, this monograph offers a unique and original understanding of how these two perspectives are interconnected.
From simple cases such as hook and latch attachments found in Velcro to articulated-wing flying vehicles, biology often has been used to inspire many creative design ideas.
With the increasing complexity and dynamism in today's machine design and development, more precise, robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support machine design.
While investigations into both theories and models has remained a major strand of engineering design research, current literature sorely lacks a reference book that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date anthology of theories and models, and their philosophical and empirical underpinnings; An Anthology of Theories and Models of Design fills this gap.
Exploring the concept of quality management from a new point of view, this book presents a holistic model of how consumers judge the quality of products.
There is a wide consensus that introduction of technology to the production process contributes to an overall economic value, however, confusion between technology, knowledge and capital often makes value calculations ambiguous and non-objective.
Acting as a support resource for practitioners and professionals looking to advance their understanding of complex mechatronic systems, Intelligent Mechatronic Systems explains their design and recent developments from first principles to practical applications.
This book is an attempt to bring together some of the most infiuential pie ces of research that collectively underpin today's understanding of what constitutes and contributes to design synthesis, and the approaches and tools for supporting this important activity.
A complete reference to adaptive control of systems with nonsmooth industrial nonlinearities such as: backlash; dead-zones; component failure; friction; hysteresis; saturation; and time delays.
Laser Material Processing (2nd ed) by William M Steen is an updated and expanded version of the original which sold very well with reprints in 1994 and 1996.
The aIm of the first two German editions of our book Kon- struktionslehre (Engineering Design) was to present a comprehensive, consistent and clear approach to systematic engineering design.
Focusing on operational excellence, this book will take readers through the practicalities of product development, market launch, and ongoing product support.
This book investigates over 30 major catastrophes and reveals the critical necessity of transitioning from identifying lessons to implementing actionable changes in workplace safety.
The readers of the book Just Technology: The Quest for Cultural, Economic, Environmental, and Technical Sustainability, Second Edition of will benefit from its systematic approach in evaluating the true sustainability challenges facing society and will learn how to address these challenges in a just manner.
As healthcare challenges such as human aging and traffic accidents continue to increase exponentially, the biomedical sector faces a significant obstacle in arranging patient-specific biomedical products.
