History of On-Orbit Satellite Fragmentations (14th Edition)
Author: Nicholas L. Johnson
Publisher: www.Militarybookshop.CompanyUK
ISBN: 9781782661702
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Includes full color illustrations. Since the first serious satellite fragmentation occurred in June 1961 (which instantaneously increased the total Earth satellite population by more than 400%) the issue of space operations within the finite region of space around the Earth has been the subject of increasing interest and concern. The prolific satellite fragmentations of the 1970s and the marked increase in the number of fragmentations in the 1980s served to widen international research into the characteristics and consequences of such events. Continued events in all orbits in later years make definition and historical accounting of those events crucial to future research. Large, manned space stations and the growing number of operational robotic satellites demand a better understanding of the hazards of the dynamic Earth satellite population.

High-Performance and Specialty Fibers
Author: Japan The Society of Fiber Science and Techno
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 4431552030
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This book reviews the key technologies and characteristics of the modern man-made specialty fibers mainly developed in Japan. Since the production of many low-cost man-made fibers shifted to China and other Asian countries, Japanese companies have focused on production of high-quality, high-performance super fibers as well as highly functionalized fibers so-called ‘Shin-gosen’. ZylonTM and DyneemaTM manufactured by Toyobo, TechnoraTM produced by Teijin, and VectranTM developed by Kuraray are those examples of super fibers. Carbon fibers ToraycaTM from Toray have occupied the most advanced high-performance application area. Various types of polyester fibers having design-shaped cross-sections and special fiber morphologies and those showing specific physico-chemical properties have also been developed to acquire a high-value textile market of the world. This book describes how these high-tech fibers have been developed and what aspects are the most important in each fiber based on its structure-property relationship. Famous specialists both in industry and academia are responsible for the contents, explaining the design concepts and the special technologies for the production of these special fibers. For university teachers and students, this volume is an excellent textbook that elucidates the basic concepts of modern fibers. At the same time, researchers, both in academia and industry, will find a comprehensive overview of recent man-made fibers. This publication, presenting the most easily understandable general survey of specialty man-made fibers to date, is dedicated to the 70th-anniversary of the Society of Fiber Science and Technology, Japan.

Modeling of Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and their Composites
Author: Konstantinos I. Tserpes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319012010
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
A large part of the research currently being conducted in the fields of materials science and engineering mechanics is devoted to carbon nanotubes and their applications. In this process, modeling is a very attractive investigation tool due to the difficulties in manufacturing and testing of nanomaterials. Continuum modeling offers significant advantages over atomistic modeling. Furthermore, the lack of accuracy in continuum methods can be overtaken by incorporating input data either from experiments or atomistic methods. This book reviews the recent progress in continuum modeling of carbon nanotubes and their composites. The advantages and disadvantages of continuum methods over atomistic methods are comprehensively discussed. Numerical models, mainly based on the finite element method, as well as analytical models are presented in a comparative way starting from the simulation of isolated pristine and defected nanotubes and proceeding to nanotube-based composites. The ability of continuum methods to bridge different scales is emphasized. Recommendations for future research are given by focusing on what still continuum methods have to learn from the nano-scale. The scope of the book is to provide current knowledge aiming to support researchers entering the scientific area of carbon nanotubes to choose the appropriate modeling tool for accomplishing their study and place their efforts to further improve continuum methods.

Energy Scavenging for Wireless Sensor Networks
Author: Shad Roundy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402076633
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Roundy (University of California-Berkeley) reports on a research project to explore alternative power methods for wireless sensor nodes. Models and designs presented here will enable the application of vibration-based generators in wireless sensor applications. An introductory chapter examines the potential of a range of energy scavenging methods, while the remainder of the book focuses on vibrations as a power source. Commonly occurring vibrations are evaluated for the amount of power that could be scavenged from them, and different methods of converting the kinetic energy inherent in the vibrations are compared. Both piezoelectrical and electrostatic MEMS generator devices are discussed.
