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.
International cooperation on reliability and accident data collection and processing, exchange of experience on actual uses of data and reliability engineering techniques is a major step in realising safer and more efficient industrial systems.
In recent years, the Finite Element Methods FEM were more and more employed in development and design departments as very fast working tools in order to determine stresses, deformations, eigenfrequencies etc.
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.
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition in Nondestructive Evaluation (NOE) of Materials was held August 19-22, 1987 at the Manoir St-Castin, Lac Beauport, Quebec, Canada.
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.
This monograph is intended to provide a snapshot of the status and opportunities for advan- cement in the technologies of dynamics and control oflarge flexible spacecraft structures.
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.
This symposium, held at Innsbruck/lgls on June 21-26, 1987, is the fifth in a series of IUTAM-Symposia on the application of stochastic methods in mechanics.
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.
From the Preface: The Proceedings contain papers presented at the 1st Working Conference on "e;Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems"e;, Aalborg, Denmark, May 6-8, 1987.
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 genesis of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) upon which this volume is based, occurred during the summer of 1986 when we came to the realization that there had been significant progress during the early 1980's in the field of superconducting electronics and in applications of this technology.
