Taylor & Francis Ltd Transmission Line Matrix TLM in Computational
Book SynopsisThe finite element method reigns as the dominant technique for modeling mechanical systems. Originally developed to model electromagnetic systems, the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method proves to match, and in some cases exceed, the effectiveness of finite elements for modeling several types of physical systems. Transmission Line Matrix in Computational Mechanics provides a tutorial approach to applying TLM for modeling mechanical and other physical systems.Transmission Line Matrix in Computational Mechanics begins with the history of TLM, an introduction to the theory using mechanical engineering concepts, and the electromagnetic basics of TLM. The authors then demonstrate the theory for use in acoustic propagation, along with examples of MATLAB code. The remainder of the book explores the application of TLM to problems in mechanics, specifically heat and mass transfer, elastic solids, simple deformation models, hydraulic systems, and computational fluid dynamics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rapid Load Testing on Piles
Book SynopsisA Rapid Load Test (RLT), developed to determine the initial stiffness and bearing capacity, is an economical and practical alternative to a Static Load Test (SLT). The broad application of RLT, however, was hampered by uncertainty about the interpretation of the test results. This book offers clear guidance on the available analysis techniques and their reliability.The guidelines were related to an international standard that is drawn up by CEN and can be used in two ways: Straightforward interpretation of test results, chapters 1-3 Interpretation with additional background information about the possibilities and limitations, chapters 4-8 The guidelines were drawn up by the Dutch CUR-committee on rapid load testing on piles.Chapters 1 and 2 deal with the practical execution of the test and the presentation of the results.

Cambridge University Press Internal Flow Concepts and Applications 3 Cambridge Engine Technology Series Series Number 3
Book SynopsisThis book describes the analysis and behaviour of internal flows encountered in propulsion systems, fluid machinery (compressors, turbines and pumps) and ducts (diffusers, nozzles and combustion chambers). The focus is on phenomena that are important in setting the performance of a broad range of fluid devices. The authors show that even for complex processes one can learn a great deal about the behaviour of such devices from a clear understanding and rigorous use of basic principles. Throughout the book they illustrate theoretical principles by reference to technological applications. The strong emphasis on fundamentals, however, means that the ideas presented can be applied beyond internal flow to other types of fluid motion. The book equips students and practising engineers with a range of new analytical tools. These tools offer enhanced interpretation and application of both experimental measurements and the computational procedures that characterize modern fluids engineering.Trade Review'… this book is a refreshing experience … the distinct perspective that the authors bring to the subject will be appreciated by all readers. … the book is a must for all graduate students and will appeal to researchers entering the field of turbomachinery. It will serve well students on courses where the subject is taught.

Cambridge University Press Hydrodynamics of HighSpeed Marine Vehicles
Book SynopsisHydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles, first published in 2006, discusses how ocean waves and the water flow affect high-speed vessels and how this depends on the vessel type and forward speed. All aspects of marine hydrodynamics are covered with an emphasis on rational and simplified methods. The book contains many illustrations, examples and exercises.Trade Review'… excellent coverage of special topics that may not be included in traditional marine hydrodynamics textbooks. The book is an excellent technical resource for information about high-speed vessels, as it provides a summary of relevant recent research and references. I highly recommend this book to naval architects and marine and coastal engineers. This book is a valuable desktop reference for planners, designers, and decision makers involved in various issues concerning high-speed vessels.' Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering'The book strikes a good compromise in presentation between two possible extremes: a purely descriptive narrative on the one hand, and a highly mathematical treatment on the other hand. This reviewer believes that the book will soon become a standard reference on the subject. While the book is definitely mathematical, there are also many clear and straightforward explanations of the physics which should be acceptable to most engineering students. The typography of the book is of a high standard.' Journal of Fluid MechanicsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Resistance and propulsion; 3. Waves; 4. Wave resistance and wash; 5.

Cambridge University Press Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers 22 Cambridge Aerospace Series Series Number 22
Book SynopsisLow Reynolds number aerodynamics is important to a number of natural and man-made flyers. Birds, bats, and insects have been of interest to biologists for years, and active study in the aerospace engineering community, motivated by interest in micro air vehicles (MAVs), has been increasing rapidly. The focus of this book is the aerodynamics associated with fixed and flapping wings. The book considers both biological flyers and MAVs, including a summary of the scaling laws which relate the aerodynamics and flight characteristics to a flyer's sizing on the basis of simple geometric and dynamics analyses, structural flexibility, laminar-turbulent transition, airfoil shapes, and unsteady flapping wing aerodynamics. The interplay between flapping kinematics and key dimensionless parameters such as the Reynolds number, Strouhal number, and reduced frequency is highlighted. The various unsteady lift enhancement mechanisms are also addressed.Trade Review"The authors of this book, active pioneers of this new field, have assembled the first comprehensive treatment of the major new aerodynamic aspects pertaining to MAVs...It is well written and illustrated with 29 color and 130 black and white figures. It also has a quite comprehensive reference list. Therefore, it should be of value to scientists and engineers who wish to familiarize themselves with the aerodynamics of birds, insects, and micro air vehicles. In addition, students and anyone else who wishes to learn about the intricacies of aerodynamic lift and thrust generation will bene!t from reading parts of this book." Max F. Platzer, AIAA JournalTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Fixed, rigid wing aerodynamics; 3. Flexible wing aerodynamics; 4. Flapping wing aerodynamics.
