    • English
    Manufacturing Technology for Higher Technicians provides an overview of the common manufacturing processes. The book is particularly concerned with the proper selection of manufacturing process. The text first covers costing, and then proceeds to tackling the forming processes of metals and polymers. The book then discusses output quality of a process and assembly operation. The selection will be of great use to professionals involved in a manufacturing process.

  • A Short Course in Foundation Engineering

    • 1st Edition
    • N. E. Simons + 1 more
    • English
    A Short Course in Foundation Engineering covers definitions and principles related to foundation engineering. The first two chapters discuss effective stress and shear strength with regard to their definition, nature and computation or measurement. The third chapter covers the most convenient methods currently used to estimate the magnitude of the immediate or undrained settlement, and the fourth chapter outlines the methods of determining the safe bearing pressure of footings. The prediction of the settlement of structures and the factors affecting the accuracy of such predictions are discussed in the next chapter. The book concludes by considering the aspects of pile design. This last chapter covers the types of pile; piles in cohesive or granular soils and under lateral loads; the group action of piles; negative skin friction; and the testing of piles. The book will serve as a guide to both students and practicing civil and foundation engineers.

  • General Engineering Science in SI Units

    In Two Volumes
    • 1st Edition

    • N. Hiller
    • English
    General Engineering Science in SI Units, Volume 2 covers the Engineering Science content of the General Course in Engineering, corresponding mainly to the requirements of the syllabus for the second year of a two-year course. This book discusses the resultant of a number of coplanar, concurrent forces; average velocity during uniformly accelerated motion; Newton's first law of motion; and graphical representation of the work done by a variable force. The load-extension graphs for brittle materials; coefficient of linear expansion of a solid; and electromotive force and potential difference are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the magnetic effect of an electric current; rotation of a coil in a uniform magnetic field; and advantages and limitations of P.M.M.C. instruments. This volume is useful to students during the earlier years of CGLI Technician Courses and other engineering courses.

    • English
    A Course of Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists, Volume 4 focuses on mathematical methods required in the more advanced parts of physics and engineering. Organized into five chapters, this book begins by elucidating vector analysis and the differential and integral operations and theorems concerning vectors. Chapter II shows solution of ordinary and some partial differential equations. Chapter III addresses the properties of Bessel, Legendre, Laguerre, and Hermite functions that commonly occur in the solution of boundary and initial value problems. The last two chapters detail the differential equations of field lines and level surfaces, as well as the matrices. This book will be useful to undergraduate students so that they can appreciate and use the mathematical methods required in the more advanced parts of physics and engineering.

  • One-Dimensional Compressional Flow

    • 1st Edition
    • H. Daneshyar
    • W.A. Woods
    • English
    One-dimensional Compressible Flow is an introduction to compressible flow. The book covers the main concepts from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, including the continuity and momentum equations and the laws of thermodynamics; the steady flow with area change, friction, or heat transfer; and the one-dimensional steady flow. The text also gives an introduction to the method of characteristics for solving unsteady flow problems. Charts and tables are provided in the book for performing steady flow calculations. The book is useful to students pursuing a degree course in mechanical engineering and practicing mechanical engineer.

  • Strength of Metals and Alloys

    Proceedings of the 5th International Conference, Aachen, Federal Republic of Germany, August 27-31, 1979
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Strength of Metals and Alloys is a collection of papers presented at the 5th International Conference on the Strength of Metals and Alloys held in Aachen, Germany, on August 27-31, 1979. Contributors explore advances that have been made in understanding the strength of metals and alloys and cover topics ranging from plasticity and crystal structure to microstructural models for friction and wear; dynamical effects in deformation; and microscopic mechanisms of metal fatigue. This volume is comprised of 13 chapters and begins with an analysis of the differences between the plastic deformation of face-centered cubic, hexagonal close-packed, and body-centered cubic metals in relation to intrinsic dislocation mobilities resulting from the interaction of the dislocation core with the crystal lattice. The reader is then introduced to dislocation models for fatigue and their application to cases of friction and wear. The following chapters focus on the mechanisms controlling the creep of single phase metals and alloys; precipitation and dispersion hardening; deformation of polycrystals; solid solution hardening; and superposition of alloy hardening, strain hardening, and dynamic recovery. The results of in situ deformation experiments using high-voltage electron microscopy are also presented. The final chapter is devoted to the mechanisms underlying the recovery and recrystallization of doped tungsten. This monograph will be a valuable resource for metallurgists and materials scientists.

    • English
    Anti-Chance: A Reply to Monod's Chance and Necessity reflects the most fundamental biological facts about human behavior, representing constants that are difficult to modify by religious, moral or social constraints. This book provides a simplistic view which neglects the profound meaning of physico-chemical determinism and most elementary rules of structuration of biological systems. The topics discussed include the probabilities of chance, thermodynamics and biological order, basis for a theoretical biology, and great inventions. The molecular basis of instinct, speech and consciousness, cybernetics and biology, and the structure of chance are also deliberated in this text. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers interested in the analysis of human affairs.
