Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quarter century period of the 3D printing technology development affords ground for speaking about new realities or the formation of a new technological system of digital manufacture and partnership. The up-to-date 3D printing is at the top of its own overrated expectations. So the development of scalable, high-speed methods of the material 3D printing aimed to increase the productivity and operating volume of the 3D printing machines requires new original decisions. It is necessary to study the 3D printing applicability for manufacturing of the materials with multilevel hierarchical functionality on nano-, micro- and meso-scales that can find applications for medical, aerospace and/or automotive industries. Some of the above-mentioned problems and new trends are considered in this book.
Download or read book Active Origami written by Edwin A. Peraza Hernandez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origami structures have the ability to be easily fabricated from planar forms, enable the deployment of large structures from small volumes, and are potentially reconfigurable. These characteristics have led to an increased interest in theoretical and computational origami among engineers from across the world. In this book, the principles of origami, active materials, and solid mechanics are combined to present a full theory for origami structures. The focus is on origami structures morphed via active material actuation and formed from sheets of finite thickness. The detailed theoretical derivations and examples make this an ideal book for engineers and advanced students who aim to use origami principles to develop new applications in their field.

Book excerpt: "It is 1921, and both Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing. When Isaac Bell's boss and lifelong friend Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed leading the high-speed chase of a rum-running vessel, Bell swears to him that he will hunt down the lawbreakers, but he doesn't know what he is getting into. When a witness to Van Dorn's shooting is executed in a ruthlessly efficient manner invented by the Russian secret police, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary criminals. On a trail that leads from the ravages of post WWI Europe to the speakeasies of New York to the lawless streets of Detroit and Florida's lavish beachside resorts, Isaac tracks the footsteps of a criminal enterprise more ingenious and far-reaching than any he has ever known. He is up against a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs, and they are intent on overthrowing the government of the United States. Packed with daring escapades and incredible heroics"--Provided by publisher

Download or read book Progress in Turbulence and Wind Energy IV written by Martin Oberlack and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth issue on "progress in turbulence" is based on the fourth ITI conference (ITI interdisciplinary turbulence initiative), which took place in Bertinoro, North Italy. Leading researchers from the engineering and physical sciences presented latest results in turbulence research. Basic as well as applied research is driven by the rather notorious difficult and essentially unsolved problem of turbulence. In this collection of contributions clear progress can be seen in different aspects, ranging from new quality of numerical simulations to new concepts of experimental investigations and new theoretical developments. The importance of turbulence is shown for a wide range of applications including: combustion, energy, flow control, urban flows, are few examples found in this volume. A motivation was to bring fundamentals of turbulence in connection with renewable energy. This lead us to add a special topic relevant to the impact of turbulence on the wind energy conversion. The structure of the present book is as such that contributions have been bundled according to covering topics i.e. I Basic Turbulence Aspects, II Particle Laden Flows, III Modeling and Simulations, IV, Experimental Methods, V Special Flows, VI Atmospheric Boundary Layer, VII Boundary Layer, VIII Wind Energy and IX Convection. This book is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Tim Nickels. Shortly after giving an invited lecture at the 4th ITI conference, the turbulence community lost a world-class scientist, a friend and devoted family man.
Download or read book Advances in Shape Memory Materials written by V. A. Chernenko and published by Trans Tech Publication. This book was released on 2008 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This specialist book, the first of its kind, includes original and review articles which describe magnetic shape-memory alloys and the magnetic shape-memory effect. These topics are currently the object of world-wide research and development. In particular, the authors in the present book concentrated upon describing the phenomenological and microscopic mechanisms of the magnetic shape-memory effect, on the physical basis of the advanced properties of magnetic shape-memory alloys and on the structural aspects of martensitic transformations in both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys. Several chapters are devoted to more general issues such as damping, the newly-discovered glassy martensite and modeling. The reader will also find copious information on technical applications and actuators which utilize shape-memory alloys with due consideration given to the relevant design principles and the analysis of simulation results. This book will therefore be of great interest to anyone working on the research or development aspects of smart materials.
