  • Biofluids Modeling

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Biofluids Modeling

    Book SynopsisBIOFLUIDS MODELING The first book offering analytical and modern computational solutions to important biofluids problems, such as non-Newtonian flows in blood vessels, clogged arteries and veins, bifurcated arteries and veins, arbitrary stent geometries, tissue properties prediction, and porous media Darcy flow simulation in large-scale organ analysis, this is a must-have for any library. This book introduces new methods for biofluids modeling and biological engineering. The foregoing subjects are treated rigorously, with all modeling assumptions stated and solutions clearly derived. But that's not all. Key supporting physics-based ideas, algorithmic details, and software design interfaces are equally emphasized, in order to support our overriding objective of getting the anatomical and clinical information that physicians need.

  • Modelling Simulation and Control of TwoWheeled

    Wiley Modelling Simulation and Control of TwoWheeled

    Book SynopsisEnhanced e-book includes videos Many books have been written on modelling, simulation and control of four-wheeled vehicles (cars, in particular). However, due to the very specific and different dynamics of two-wheeled vehicles, it is very difficult to reuse previous knowledge gained on cars for two-wheeled vehicles. Modelling, Simulation and Control of Two-Wheeled Vehicles presents all of the unique features of two-wheeled vehicles, comprehensively covering the main methods, tools and approaches to address the modelling, simulation and control design issues.

    Book SynopsisComputers are ubiquitous throughout all life-cycle stages of engineering, from conceptual design to manufacturing maintenance, repair and replacement. It is essential for all engineers to be aware of the knowledge behind computer-based tools and techniques they are likely to encounter. The computational technology, which allows engineers to carry out design, modelling, visualisation, manufacturing, construction and management of products and infrastructure is known as Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). Engineering Informatics: Fundamentals of Computer-Aided Engineering, 2nd Edition provides the foundation knowledge of computing that is essential for all engineers. This knowledge is independent of hardware and software characteristics and thus, it is expected to remain valid throughout an engineering career. This Second Edition is enhanced with treatment of new areas such as network science and the computational complexity of distributed systems.

    Book SynopsisAn introductory reference covering the devices, simulations and limitations in the control of servo systems Linking theoretical material with real-world applications, this book provides a valuable introduction to motion system design. The book begins with an overview of classic theory, its advantages and limitations, before showing how classic limitations can be overcome with complete system simulation. The ability to efficiently vary system parameters (such as inertia, friction, dead-band, damping), and quickly determine their effect on performance, stability, efficiency, is also described. The author presents a detailed review of major component characteristics and limitations as they relate to system design and simulation. The use of computer simulation throughout the book will familiarize the reader as to how this contributes to efficient system design, how it avoids potential design flaws and saves both time and expense throughout the design process.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements xiii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Targeted Readership 2 1.2 Motion System History 2 1.3 Suggested Library for Motion System Design 5 Reference 6 2 Control Theory Overview 7 2.1 Classic Differential/Integral Equation Approach 7 2.2 LaPlace Transform-the S Domain 10 2.3 The Transfer Function 13 2.4 Open versus Closed Loop Control 15 2.5 Stability 22 2.6 Basic Mechanical and Electrical Systems 23 2.7 Sampled Data Systems/Digital Control 28 References 34 3 System Components 35 3.1 Motors and Amplifiers 35 3.2 Gearheads 107 3.3 Leadscrews and Ballscrews 119 3.4 Belt and Pulley 126 3.5 Rack and Pinion 129 3.6 Clutches and Brakes 132 3.7 Servo Couplings 140 3.8 Feedback Devices 146 References 164 Additional Readings 165 4 System Design 167 4.1 Position, Velocity, Acceleration, Jerk, Resolution, Accuracy, Repeatability 167 4.2 Three Basic Loops – Current/Voltage, Velocity, Position 170 4.3 The Velocity Profile 182 4.4 Feed Forward 195 4.5 Inertia 200 4.6 Shaft Compliance 210 4.7 Compensation 216 4.8 Nonlinear Effects 224 4.9 The Eight Basic Building Blocks 230 References 253 5 System Examples – Design and Simulation 255 5.1 Linear Motor Drive 255 5.2 Print Cylinder Control 257 5.3 Conveyor System – Clutch/Brake Control 261 5.4 Bang-Bang Servo (Slack Loop System) 267 5.5 Wafer Spinner 272 Appendix 275 A.1 Brushless Motor Speed/Torque Curves 275 A.2 Inertia Calculation – Excel Program 277 A.3 Time Constants versus Viscous Damping Constant 277 A.4 Current Drive Review 279 A.5 Conversion Factors 285 A.6 Work and Power 286 A.7 I2R Losses 287 A.8 Copper Resistivity 290 Index 291

This book is truly a semester-long class bottled into a narrative fit for vacation." -- Danah Boyd, founder and president, Data & Society Research Institute"Sometimes the best way to understand the present and prepare for the future is to look to the past. This insight is at the core of How Data Happened, an ambitious and thoughtful work. Wiggins and Jones have worked together—as data scientist and historian—to write a book that will reshape how you will see the relationship between data and society." -- Matthew J. Salganik, Professor, Department of Sociology, Princeton University, and author of Bit by Bit: Social Research in the Digital Age"A leading data scientist and a historian of science walk into a classroom resulting in this ambitious and bold book packed with stories about the role of data in our society. Wiggins and Jones plainly and forcefully trace why we ended up with the big data mess that we have now and what we might do about it. Instead of platitudes, they argue how today’s fights over surveillance capitalism, government access to data, and Big Tech could shape the future of data’s power in society. How Data Happened is a must read for everyone interested in how data is changing our lives." -- Gina Neff, Executive Director, Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge"This is the first comprehensive look at the history of data and how power has played a critical role in shaping the history.

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Hybrid Materials for Piezoelectric Energy

    Book SynopsisPower small devices more efficiently and practically with these essential materials Piezoelectric energy harvesting is an increasingly widely-deployed technique to generate electricity from mechanical energy. Reliability, ease of use, and cleanliness make piezoelectric energy harvesting in small electronic devices a potentially valuable alternative to the practical challenges and waste production of disposable or even reusable batteries. However, piezoelectric materials have their own challenges, advantages, and limitations, and choosing between them is a difficult engineering problem in itself; hybrid piezoelectric materials, which can be used to compensate the weaknesses of individual piezoelectric materials (like ceramic or polymer), are the emerging solution. Hybrid Materials for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting and Conversion offers a systematic analysis of these hybrid piezoelectric materials and their applications.

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Biomimicry Materials and Applications

    Book SynopsisBIOMIMICRY MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS Since the concept of biomimetics was first developed in 1950, the practical applications of biomimetic materials have created a revolution from biotechnology to medicine and most industrial domains, and are the future of commercial work in nearly all fields. Biomimetic materials are basically synthetic materials or man-made materials which can mimic or copy the properties of natural materials. Scientists have created a revolution by mimicking natural polymers through semi-synthetic or fully synthetic methods. There are different methods to mimic a material, such as copying form and shape, copying the process, and finally mimicking at an ecosystem level. This book comprises a detailed description of the materials used to synthesize and form biomimetic materials. It describes the materials in a way that will be far more convenient and easier to understand. The editors have compiled the book so that it can be used in all areas of research, and it showTable of ContentsPreface xi 1 Biomimetic Optics 1Priya Karmakar, Kripasindhu Karmakar, Sk.

  • Development of Geopolymer from Pond AshThermal

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Development of Geopolymer from Pond AshThermal

    Book SynopsisDEVELOPMENT OF GEOPOLYMER FROM POND ASH-THERMAL POWERPLANT WASTE Explains how geopolymer technologies using industrial waste obtained from thermal power plants become cementitious materials in construction sectors for civil engineers. Utilization of waste materials has become a global challenge since they endanger our environment. In this book, the authors demonstrate how to utilize fly ash/pond ash (waste materials from thermal power plants) to produce a novel material called ''Geopolymer'' (GP). Red mud, slags, etc., are mixed with fly ash to produce GP with enhanced strength. As shown in a few European countries, GP can replace cement, and some permanent structures constructed with GP are now appearing in a few advanced countries. GP, and geopolymer concrete, is considered suitable for the construction of roads, buildings, etc., and will eventually, fully or partially, replace cement.

    Book SynopsisINDUSTRIAL VALVES Improve the design and safety of your industrial valves with this comprehensive guide Industrial valves are used to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, or slurries. They are fundamental to multiple industries, including marine shipping, in which valves regulate power supply, wastewater, water for fire-fighting, and other shipboard essentials. They are also critical to the oil and gas industry, where valves are used to control the flow of oil or gas out of deposits, direct the crude oil refining process, protect key areas and equipment from spillage and overflow, and more. Without the safety and regulating power provided by industrial valves these industries could not proceed.

  • John Wiley & Sons Inc Smart Materials for Science and Engineering

    Book SynopsisSMART MATERIALS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Smart materials, also known as advanced or creative materials, are described as advanced materials that react intuitively to environmental changes or as materials that can return to their original shape in response to certain stimuli. Smart materials are classified as either active or passive based on their characteristics. There are two types of active materials. The first kind cannot change its characteristics when subjected to outside stimuli, for example photochromatic spectacles that only alter their color when exposed to sunlight. The other, which includes piezoelectric materials, can change one sort of energy (thermal, electrical, chemical, mechanical, or optical) into another. When subjected to external pressure, it can generate an electric charge. As an example, optical fibers can transmit electromagnetic waves. In contrast, passive smart materials can transmit a specific sort of energy. They have some amazing qualities th
