Download or read book Sustainable Composites for Lightweight Applications written by Hom Nath Dhakal and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon and glass fibre reinforced composite materials have been used for many years in several different types of applications. However, these conventional composites are derived from non-renewable reinforcements and they pose a significant threat to the environment. Government legislation and consumer behaviour have recently forced many industries to adapt sustainable composites. Industries such as automotive, marine and aerospace are now seeking sustainable lightweight composites with the aim to reduce the overall weight of the components with enhanced materials and design aspects. Therefore, there is high demand on research for the development of sustainable lightweight composites. This book presents a comprehensive review of lightweight composites with the central aim to increase their use in key industrial sectors such as automotive, marine and aerospace. There is no such book currently available that is dedicated to sustainable lightweight applications covering important topics such as key drivers for lightweight composites, mechanical properties, damage characterisation, durability and environmental aspects. Key topics that are addressed include: - The roles of reinforcements and matrices in composite materials - Sustainable natural fibre reinforcements and their morphological structures - Lightweight applications and properties requirements - Design, manufacturing processes and their effects on properties - Testing and damage characterisation of composite materials - Sustainable composites and techniques for property enhancement - Future trends and challenges for sustainable composites in lightweight applications It will be a valuable reference resource for those working in material Science, polymer science, materials engineering, and industries involved in the manufacture of automotive and aerospace components from lightweight composite materials. - Provides a comprehensive review of sustainable lightweight composites looking at key industrial applications such as automotive, marine, and aerospace and construction - Important relationships between structure and properties are analysed in detail - Enhancement of properties through hybrid systems, are also explored with emphasis on design, materials selection and manufacturing techniques

Book excerpt: The conception of real-time control networks taking into account, as an integrating approach, both the specific aspects of information and knowledge processing and the dynamic and energetic particularities of physical processes and of communication networks is representing one of the newest scientific and technological challenges. The new paradigm of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) reflects this tendency and will certainly change the evolution of the technology, with major social and economic impact. This book presents significant results in the field of process control and advanced information and knowledge processing, with applications in the fields of robotics, biotechnology, environment, energy, transportation, et al.. It introduces intelligent control concepts and strategies as well as real-time implementation aspects for complex control approaches. One of the sections is dedicated to the complex problem of designing software systems for distributed information processing networks. Problems as complexity and specific instruments for modeling and control are also presented in a group of papers which identifies a large opening towards the new generation of CPS. The book is structured so as to ensure a good equilibrium between conceptual and applicative aspects.

Download or read book Architecting Composite Applications and Services with TIBCO written by Paul C. Brown and published by Addison-Wesley. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Paul Brown has done a favor for the TIBCO community and anyone wanting to get into this product set. Architecting TIBCO solutions without knowing the TIBCO architecture fundamentals and having insight to the topics discussed in this book is risky to any organization. I fully recommend this book to anyone involved in designing solutions using the TIBCO ActiveMatrix products.” —Nikky Sooriakumar, TIBCO Architect, PruHealth “An effective primer for building composite services using TIBCO, this book provides a holistic approach to strategy integrated with implementation details. I find it tremendously useful in moving recursively from business solutions to design patterns to architecture. Tangible examples are provided that build to composite services. And advanced topics are explored that add another valuable implementation dimension. I recommend this book to software architects who need to quickly build an effective business- services-oriented environment.” —Abby H. Brown, Ph.D., Enterprise Architect, Intel Corp. The architecture series from TIBCO® Press comprises a coordinated set of titles for software architects and developers, showing how to combine TIBCO components to design and build real-world solutions. TIBCO’s product suite comprises components with functionality ranging from messaging through services, service orchestration, business process management, master data management, and complex event processing. In composite applications and services, multiple components collaborate to provide the required functionality. There are many possible architectures for these distributed solutions: Some will serve the enterprise well, while others will lead to dead-end projects. Architecting Composite Applications and Services with TIBCO® shows how to create successful architectures with TIBCO products for both overall solutions and individual services. This guide builds on the basic design patterns and product information presented in the first title in the series, TIBCO® Architecture Fundamentals (Addison-Wesley, 2011). After reading this title, you will be able to Create architectures for solutions, service specifications, and service implementations Understand the intended TIBCO product roles in composite applications and services Define manageable approaches to service versioning and naming Conduct and interpret performance benchmarks Identify and select appropriate design patterns for a variety of tasks Architecting Composite Applications and Services with TIBCO® is intended primarily for project architects defining overall solutions and specifying the supporting components and services. TIBCO developers, enterprise architects, and technical managers will also find material of interest. No specific prior knowledge of architecture is assumed.
