John Wiley & Sons Inc Electromagnetic Well Logging
Book SynopsisMathematically rigorous, computationally fast, and easy to use, this new approach to electromagnetic well logging gives the reservoir engineer a new dimension to MWD/LWD interpretation and tool design Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically. On the other hand, exact models are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply describe case studies for special applications. In either case, the models are not available for general use and the value of the publications is questionable. This new approach provides a rigorous, fully three-dimensional solution to the general problem, developed over almost two decades by a researcher familiar with practical applications and mathematical modeling. Completely validated against exact solutions and physics-based checks through over a hundred documented examples, the self-contained model (with sTable of ContentsPreface xv Acknowledgements xxi 1 Motivating Ideas – General Formulation and Results 1 1.1 Overview 1 1.2 Introduction 2 1.3 Physical Model and Numerical Formulation 4 1.4 Validation Methodology 13 1.5 Practical Applications 16 1.6 Closing Remarks 34 1.7 References 35 2 Detailed Theory and Numerical Analysis 37 2.1 Overview 37 2.2 Introduction 40 2.3 Preliminary Mathematical Considerations 47 2.4 Boundary Value Problem Formulation 58 2.5 Computational Issues and Strategies 66 2.6 Typical Simulation Results 80 2.7 Post-Processing and Applications 112 2.8 Restrictions with Fast Multi-frequency Methods 126 2.9 Receiver Design Philosophy 128 2.10 Description of Output Files 131 2.11 Apparent Resistivity Using Classic Dipole Solution 138 2.12 Coordinate Conventions for Mud and Invasion Modeling 139 2.13 Generalized Fourier Integral for Transient Sounding 140 2.14 References 141 3 Validations – Qualitative Benchmarks 142 3.1 Overview 142 3.2 Introductory Problems 148 3.3 Advanced Problems 245 3.4 Sign Conventions and Validation Methodology 277 3.5 References 279 4 Validations – Quantitative Benchmarks at 0° and 90° 280 4.1 Overview 280 4.2 Wireline Validations in Homogeneous Media 281 4.3 Wireline Validations in Two-Layer Inhomogeneous Media 304 4.4 Electric and Magnetic Field Sensitive Volume Analysis for Resistivity and NMR Applications 328 4.5 MWD “Steel Collar” and Wireline Computations in Homogeneous and Nonuniform Layered Dipping Media 340 4.6 Exact Drill Collar Validation Using Shen Analytical Solution 347 4.7 Dipole Interpolation Formula Validation in Farfield 349 4.8 Magnetic Dipole Validation in Two-Layer Formation 352 4.9 References 355 5 Quantitative Benchmarks at Deviated Angles 356 5.1 Overview 356 5.2 Limit 1.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Electrospinning & Electroplating: Fundamentals,
Book SynopsisElectrospinning is a simple and efficient process in producing nanofibers. The use of an electrospinning process in fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds has received great attention in recent years due to its simplicity and ability to fabricate ultrafine nanofibers. Chapter One investigates the process of formation of ultrafine fibres and nonwoven membranes by electrospinning from natural degradable polymers -- polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs); physical, mechanical, and biological properties of the products have been included. Chapter Two aims to give an insight into the use of this interesting class of polymers in electrospinning as well as to explore the wide range of possible applications. Chapter Three reveals the fundamental working principles of electrospinning process and the effect of electrospinning process parameters towards the nanofibers morphology. Chapter Four provides detailed information on the background of electrospinning, fundamental principles and theory, investigation on parameters involved in nanofibers structural/ biological/mechanical characteristics, advantages of superb properties and biomedical applications of electrospun nanofibres, particularly in tissue engineering heart valves. Chapter Five focuses on the fabrication and characterisation of electrospun PVDF, PVDF/PLA (50/50 wt %) and PVDF/G (99.5/0.5 wt %) membranes. Chapter Six presents the main results of recent experimental investigation of the electrodeposition and characterisation of Fe/TiO2 composite coatings obtained from an environmentally friendly methanesulfonate iron plating bath containing colloidal TiO2 particles.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Friction Stir Welding (FSW): Advances in Research
Book SynopsisThe opening chapter provides a comprehensive insight into dissimilar materials joined by FSW technology. FSW parameters such as tool design, tool pin offset, rotational speed, welding speed, tool tilt angle and position of workpiece material in the fixture for dissimilar materials are summarized. In the next chapter the author confirms the emission of particles in the nanorange during FSW of the most commonly used aluminium alloys, AA 5083 and AA 6082, which are originated from the aluminium alloy itself, due to friction of the welding tool against the workpiece. In the closing chapter, feasibility to join 2.5 mm thick AA5052 aluminium alloy and 1.4 mm thick high strength steel, DP590, by conventional FSW process (FSW) and TIG-assisted HFSW process (HFSW) is studied through couple experimental and numerical analysis. A comparative study in joining of dissimilar materials by conventional FSW and HFSW processes is performed to realize the effect of different welding parameters on the growth of IMC layer thickness.

Special Interest Model Books Simple Workshop Devices
Book SynopsisHowever well equipped the workshop may be there seems to be an incessant need to make up special gadgets of one sort or another. These may range from mutilating a clothes peg to act as a 'third hand' up to major modifications to an existing machine tool. The making of such devices can be fun (indeed, some may appear to do nothing else!) but nevertheless the time taken up in 'devising the device' can often delay the completion of an important project. Shared experience is a most potent tool in reducing such delays, and can, moreover, often provide solutions to problems hitherto believed to be intractable. Tubal Cain has enjoyed more than sixty years' experience in designing and building engines and machines (in both full size and model dimensions) and over this time has made many ancillary devices. In this book he shares 52 of them with you. A number of these had been published in magazines from time to time and some were assembled in volume form about thirty years ago. The opportunity was later taken not only to reprint that book but to revise some of the entries to take advantage of user experience, to add new material and to introduce it into the popular Workshop Practice Series.Table of ContentsFive Clamp and Vice Projects. Ten Jigs and Fixtures. Twenty-five Projects Round and About the Lathe. Thirteen Miscellaneous Projects.

Special Interest Model Books Tool and Cutter Sharpening
Book SynopsisSharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder, through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment. A lack of understanding of the processes almost certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a job well done. With the information in this book this situation can be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the past.Table of ContentsSharpening - An Introduction. Drill Sharpening. Grinding Rests. Sharpening Lathe Tools. Sharpening End Mills. Other Milling Cutters. Small Workshop Tools. Woodworking Tools. Making a Grinding Rest. Making the End Mill Sharpening Accessory. Making Simple Accessories for the Grinding Rest. Making Drill Sharpening Accessories. Tool and Cutter Grinding Head.
