Book Description
This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmen tal management. Each volume will be a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective ofthese books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other indi vidual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem.

Continuum Scale Simulation of Engineering Materials
Author: Dierk Raabe
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527604219
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 885
Book Description
This book fills a gap by presenting our current knowledge and understanding of continuum-based concepts behind computational methods used for microstructure and process simulation of engineering materials above the atomic scale. The volume provides an excellent overview on the different methods, comparing the different methods in terms of their respective particular weaknesses and advantages. This trains readers to identify appropriate approaches to the new challenges that emerge every day in this exciting domain. Divided into three main parts, the first is a basic overview covering fundamental key methods in the field of continuum scale materials simulation. The second one then goes on to look at applications of these methods to the prediction of microstructures, dealing with explicit simulation examples, while the third part discusses example applications in the field of process simulation. By presenting a spectrum of different computational approaches to materials, the book aims to initiate the development of corresponding virtual laboratories in the industry in which these methods are exploited. As such, it addresses graduates and undergraduates, lecturers, materials scientists and engineers, physicists, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, and mechanical engineers.

Information Linkage Between Applied Mathematics and Industry
Author: Arthur Schoenstadt
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323151744
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Information Linkage between Applied Mathematics and Industry II presents the proceedings of the Second Annual Workshop on the Information Linkage between Applied Mathematics and Industry, held in Monterey, California on February 22–24, 1979. This book focuses on the linear systems of equations in practical applications. Comprised of two parts encompassing 29 chapters, this volume starts with an analysis of the undetermined systems of linear algebraic equations that are frequently encountered in solving physical problems. This book then discusses the guiding principles of the methods used to stabilize the problem against ill-conditioning and rank deficiency. This text explains the methods that are developed to solve the typical radiation spectrum unfolding problems. Other chapters describe the mathematical technique that is the basis of unfolding code called FERD. Finally, the reader is introduced to integral and differential equations by using a point-by-point approach. Mathematicians, engineers, researchers, and students will find this book extremely useful.

Engineering Turbulence Modelling and Experiments - 4
Author: D. Laurence
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080530982
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 975
Book Description
These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 4th International Symposium on Engineering Turbulence Modelling and Measurements held at Ajaccio, Corsica, France from 24-26 May 1999. It follows three previous conferences on the topic of engineering turbulence modelling and measurements. The purpose of this series of symposia is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing new developments in the area of turbulence modelling and measurements, with particular emphasis on engineering-related problems. Turbulence is still one of the key issues in tackling engineering flow problems. As powerful computers and accurate numerical methods are now available for solving the flow equations, and since engineering applications nearly always involve turbulence effects, the reliability of CFD analysis depends more and more on the performance of the turbulence models. Successful simulation of turbulence requires the understanding of the complex physical phenomena involved and suitable models for describing the turbulent momentum, heat and mass transfer. For the understanding of turbulence phenomena, experiments are indispensable, but they are equally important for providing data for the development and testing of turbulence models and hence for CFD software validation.

Discrete and Continuum Models for Complex Metamaterials
Author: Francesco dell'Isola
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108850189
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Bringing together contributions on a diverse range of topics, this text explores the relationship between discrete and continuum mechanics as a tool to model new and complex metamaterials. Providing a comprehensive bibliography and historical review of the field, it covers mechanical, acoustic and pantographic metamaterials, discusses Naive Model Theory and Lagrangian discrete models, and their applications, and presents methods for pantographic structures and variational methods for multidisciplinary modeling and computation. The relationship between discrete and continuous models is discussed from both mathematical and engineering viewpoints, making the text ideal for those interested in the foundation of mechanics and computational applications, and innovative viewpoints on the use of discrete systems to model metamaterials are presented for those who want to go deeper into the field. An ideal text for graduate students and researchers interested in continuum approaches to the study of modern materials, in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, applied mathematics, physics, and materials science.
