The book presents the select proceedings of the second International Conference on Materials, Mechanics and Structures (ICMMS 2022). The book highlights the latest developments, innovations and applications in the diverse range of areas of civil engineering. It covers the findings of recent research works across the globe on various topics such as civil engineering materials; concrete and masonry structures; composite structures; structural mechanics; fluid-structure interaction; repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting of the structures; new technologies in structural design and...

This book explores how the kinds of world-wide restructurings of higher education and research work that are underway today have not only increased employment insecurity in academia but may actually be producing unemployment both for those within academia and for graduate job-seekers in other sectors. Recent and current re-organisations of higher education and research work, and re-orientations of academic life (as students, researchers, teachers) generally, which are taking place around the world, achieve exactly the opposite of what they claim: though ostensibly undertaken to facilitate...

Microfluidics and Microfabrication discusses the interconnect between microfluidics, microfabrication and the life sciences. Specifically, this includes fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics in micro-scale and nano-scale confinements and microfabrication. Material is also presented discussing micro-textured engineered surfaces, high-performance AFM probe-based, micro-grooving processes, fabrication with metals and polymers in bio-micromanipulation and microfluidic applications. Editor Suman Chakraborty brings together leading minds in both fields who also:

• Cover the...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS): Newton Power-Flow Modeling of Voltage-Sourced Converter-Based Controllers introduces different voltage-sourced converter (VSC)-based FACTS controllers and VSC-based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems and their working principles, explaining how FACTS controllers exchange real and reactive power with systems.

Subsequently, the book:

• Describes the Newton Raphson method and its application for solving the power-flow problem
• Presents the Newton power-flow modeling of the static synchronous...
